How sure are you that the somewhat larger diameter S&W cases can be easily sized in a Special sizing die? I've done it. No sweat, though it seems 38 Short Colt will be a better way to go... Interesting. I have a 1851 Colt converted to 38 long colt. Will have to try some in my 92 to see how they...

This fall it's been the Browning 86 carbine in 45-70, with barrel shortened to 19 inches to make it the same length as a 94 SRC. It sports a williams receiver sight, huge bead front and a sling. What am I afraid of? Nothing! :mrgreen: You're killing me with that :wink: Still looking for a GOOD smit...

94 .356 Big Bore. A 250 yard 30-06, with a bigger bullet in a 6.5 lb 7 shot fast handling machine.

I killed a black bear at 150 yards with a flex tip hornady 356 Win. 200 gr. FTX, which is of course a .358. I hit the bear high in the shoulders, he went down instantly, never got up, I didn't recover the bullet because it exited, but it did much damage. He died before we could get to him. No compl...

Due to bullet shape it will shoot flatter, hit harder farther than flatnose ammo. Only you can tell if the slight extra cost is worth the enhanced ballistics,if u got a 300 yard range to shoot from.

Goes back to the black powder days when you needed 30"+ barrel length to completely burn powder. Old timers clung to that belief with addition of period gun writers tying barrel length into accuracy. Modern smokeless powders don't need the added length. And tests prove that a 16" barrel is...

I bought the carbine from a forum member here. I don't know what it cost or why 19 inches but it seems just right. It has laid across my lap every afternoon this week while I sat in my blind.

The 19" makes sense. Now, to find a good smith?

Other than the sissy pad, I dig it.

I like both but the carbine is really handy. Mine is a Browning SRC that has been shortened to 19", big bead front and Williams receiver sight. Makes a great combination. The Brownings are not that difficult to find and do not have the rebounding hammer or thumb safety. Just like the originals...

Tie, Winchester 94 and the M16.

Perhaps the finest, slickest handling and feeding of all the levers made. The .348WCF was designed to take all North American game from white tail to brown bear with the 200Grain Silver tip loading. Of course , heaver loads are out there, for those who believe they need more. You won't regret acquir...

Sounds like a great cartridge for a AR 15 platform

I'd be more than happy with the accuracy results and the load that you are using. Good Hunting.

I carry a Keltec .32 a lot more often than my 9's, 40's and 45's cause it disappears in my pocket and I don't even know it's there. I'm hoping that if I ever have to use it, it won't be against an educated criminal who reads gun magazines and frets over one stop shot articles.

tman

The one in the movie looked to be a 94, but, I saw it a long time ago

tman

If you don't handload, the Buffalo Bore 180 is my 1st choice. I also like the Federal and Winchester 180's. But, as others have pointed out, the 158Gr JSP is tough to beat. Good Hunting!

Corporations today cut corners by letting the customer do their "quality control".

Sometimes I wander if they figure that we buy guns to look at, and not to shoot"?

The Hornady 325grn. Flex tips gives you a 300 yard elk/moose gun in a 45-70, that will also handle big bear. The trade off is weight. My Browning 86 SRC is noticeable heavier than a 92 .44mag, with the 44 doing it's best work under 150 yards. Depends on what you want to do with it, and how much gun ...

Same as you, I'm a novice looking to get into crossbows. Doing net searches I came across the Arrow Precision Inferno and the Barrett Jackal. Both are reviewed as best buys for the money, The Arrow, around $150 and the Barnett around $250. My plan is to get one to target shoot with friends, and perh...

405grn. Green box Remingtons. Hornaday's 325 flex tip. Winchester 300 grn silvertips. All will give the big bears a run for their money.

tman

BUY BOTH! Have the Browning 348 carbine and the Browning 86 SRC.

Pre lawyer guns. Craftmanship and shoot ability are excellent. They don't build them like this no more.

Man does not live by leverguns alone

I've never regretted a day that I blew off from work to take the gun out for a walk in the woods. Enjoy

I'll give you $35 for the .375.

In my opinion, the 375 has no significant advantage over your 35 Remington. But if you're a collector, this could be a nice addition to the vault. TR Don't know. The factory ammo in a .375 will hit harder and bigger. If you reload, then it increases the margin. Not a big difference on deer, but, I'...

Been there before and may be in your shoes by the end of the month. Stay strong and remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, even if the outlook for a new job is bleak at this point in time. Prayers up and good luck.

Both the .375WCF and the 348WCF will handle grizzly. The 348 will do it a bit further away.

tman

Defense up close, as opposed to hunting at extended range, the 9mm, 40, 45 acp will work about the same as a 45 L colt, 44m, etc. You gotta carefully place the bullets and keep shooting until the threat is over.

tman

.375 WCF Winchester, pre USRA, pre angle eject, pre lawyer safety, may be one of the finest Winchester 94's ever made. A plus, is that you can shoot 38-55 ammo in it. A minus is the ammo is expensive and hard to find. I love mine. Nice Get

It's a trade off. If you want to dampen the recoil you gotta add weight, which negates the featherweight, unless you use hearing prot ection, even in the field

. Had a ported .44 mag handgun. Shot a deer with it and got rid of it.
