Honest well meaning people are going to do what they want to do. Thieves are going to do what they want to do. What I take umbrage at is when a honest man gets blamed for losing a gun or anything else to a thief. In theory if I leave a remote cabin door unlocked or my car door unlocked with a gun o...

Hot women, plenty of booze and gourmet food, and a mini gun to scare away any attempt to rescue us.

Reality shows ain't Real :shock: , they are carefully scripted, the actors and actresses are rehearsed and advised by directors just like "real tv" :lol: shows. Not a knock on the huntress or on her abilities or lack of them. She makes it a reason to watch, but ,I'll admit, I never saw the...

Kel tec got the Minnie 9 right with the PF. Easy to shoot and conceal. You can pay a lot more and get less gun. Like others, I started out with the Colt .45 ACP, but the Keltec is faster to get into action and pretty much foolproof.

The .375 is a better heavy game gun. I also have both, both great rounds, take the 375 loaded with 250grn. bullets for Kodiak bear.

Great Read! Thanks!

I think I figured out where all the 30/30 can't kill grizzlies came from. Years ago Clint Walker did a movie, B movie at best, called Night of the Grizzly. In it he repeatedly shoots said grizzly with a levergun until the magazine is empty, then in typical Clint Walker fashion goes mano-a-mano with...

:idea: When someone quips that a 30 wcf is not adequate for bear, they might be unwittingly commenting on their own abilities. 8) Quite possibly. A 30-30 will work under ideal circumstances, kind of like a smaller handgun will take deer - works OK as long as you can wait & pick your shot. Ain't...

In WWII, Audie Murphy went after, and killed, a German sniper with a .30 Carbine. It isn't necessarily the gun. If the person shooting it is accurate, then there is much less need for excessive power. This young girl proved it once again. Agreed, but there still has to be a minimum power level for ...

On the other hand, that fifty would take out an engine block at a half mile.

Big +1!

The 06 in even budget price ammo, loaded in 150, 180 and 220 grn bullets will cover all North American game. The 220 grn has successfully taken elephant, along with all African game. Hornanday loads a SUPERFORMANCE round that will put you into .300 MAG country for long range elk. Some famous gun scr...

Funny how a little girl can take a grizz with a 30-30, but a real "HE MAN' needs at least a .338 MAG, shooting premium bullets, looking thru a Moon scope. Please don't let the gun rag industry see this post

Buffalo Bore loads a .32 ACP +P that performs well. It uses the 75 grain FN made by Rim Rock. Handloaders can easily duplicate the ballistics. My wife used to carry a Witness Compact 9mm but it was a bit too large for her small hands. She now carries my Manurhin (Walther) PP and it performs well. T...

When the .30WCF 1st came out, Winchester advertised it as a grizzly cartridge. Years later when the .348WCF arrived, it was touted as an excellent choice for all Alaskan game. Either will do the job if you know how to hunt and shoot. That girl is a true hunter and shooter, bet no "experts"...

If the .45-70 out of a Marlin Guide Gun or out of a Winchester 86 won't do the job, I would probably just go get a bolt action .375 H&H of some sort. I used a 350 grain lead round nose on a some game one time from my Guide Gun, and it wasn't all that impressive. I put the bullet in a place wher...

Some confusion on the platform here. The OP and the posts on the Marlin forum were referencing a wildcat 44 caliber cartridge on a Marlin 94, a "short action" levergun, not a Winchester Model 94 which is a longer action. If you really want a Marlin 94 to shine, you should do what my best ...

+1 on the 94BB .444. And if that won't flip your wig, the Japchester takedown 94 in .450 Marlin will really melt your popsicle!

As I get older, less is more. I want a smaller house with a smaller yard with lower property taxes.

At this point in my life, I'd rather have a fat bank account than too many toys t...

Your foxes must be getting more bullet proof. I remember when you all you needed was your lowly .308WCF

Good hunting.

I have 2 of their pistols. Good quality for a low price. Get it!

Perhaps, the mags outlived their usefulness. Today, you can buy a 6.5 LB bolt action 30-06 that shoots 200 fps faster than in the 1970's, with bullets that will either expand or shoot thru a Kodiak bear, print 3/4" M.O.A. groups, and scope it for under a $1K. There isn't any subject left that h...

Love the .308WCF, Perhaps the most useful all around cartridge ever, especially when you add in it's one of the current military rounds. But, for an old dude like me, even the SOCOM 16 is a bity on the heavy side to pack around the mountains with

If, I didn't already have a BB 94 444, I'd look closely at the 450 Marlin, would make a heck of a Kodiak bear gun

, for those of us that limit our shots to 250 yards. But, I won't pay over $ 700 for it.

tman

High end AR'S and 1911A1's are what the buying public wants today. More about accessorizing and who can spend more $ to get a .45 ACP to shoot from 1/2" to 1/4" groups.

It's just a different world today.

$40 million, with $16M in his pocket? How stupid can you be

As a pure defensive piece it makes more sense than a full size battle rifle. Easier to transport and conceal. With the 33 shot mags, you are ready for anything.

Put old fashioned wheels & tires and make it one color. With that engine it ought to SCREAM!

2 very good points made here! [1] The 30WCF in the hands of a rifleman and hunter will cover all North American game. [2] There all too many good choices out there to limit yourself just to the .30WCF.

Sorry Blaine, It wasn't ment against you,I picked up on it with everything going on politically right now. And it's Easter week and it seems we use religion to hate and divide, instead of uniting us all. Anyway, A blessed Easter to all.
