Was the 375 ever offered pre-64?

SJPrice

The recent discussions over 30-30 vs 38-55 brought a question to my mind. I know how the 30-30 performs in a trapper length barrell, but how do other calibers like the 38-55 or 45-70 perform in the shorter barrels?

SJPrice

I too scroll down past the stickies. Not sure why but again maybe there are too many or there needs to be a way to show that they are new or have new activity

SJPrice

+1 on what Bogie and Pokey said. Find the best pre 64 94 you can find, no matter which caliber. Then your quest begins for finding a nice pre 64 in the other caliber and then you will need a 92 in a pistol caliber, then you will have to get an 1886 in 45-70 for those really big hogs and then...........

SJPrice

Thank you gentlemen. I was going to keep it as NIB and decided it was just too pretty not to take it out to the range and the deer camp.

Thank you for the information.

SJPrice

Can anyone tell me when these were made or where I can get that information. I recently purchased one new in the box. It is very well made, with beautiful feather crotch figured walnut. The bluing is deep blue on all the metal with the possible exception of the mag tube. The mag tube is slightly lac...

You start small and a ways off and over time move in closer and work your way up in caliber. As you get real close it does not hurt to have them involved in some activity that has their feet moving while you shoot. They are learning while their feet are moving. If they get nervous you make no big de...

+1 for saddle soap mixed with elbow grease and then very sparingly very pure neetsfoot oil

SJPrice

Rosie O"Donnell uses it for toothpaste. Thats why she is always shooting her mouth off.

SJPrice

This one may have been covered before and if so I apologize. Also I will state up front that I have no dog in the fight. I did however think the question might be interesting. Discussion is limited to Trapper length lever actions and only in factory available calibers either rifle or pistol. Which m...

I thought Nolan was taller?

SJPrice

The reason for the restriction on the Stag is this. The stag drop their antlers in the same forest in India where the tigers live. The natives were starting fires to burn the brush thereby making it easier to find the sheds. This practice was destroying the habitat. As a result the Indian government...

I do not know about most, but I prefer mine in the Northeast and hanging pretty vertical. It keeps it out from under my leg which lets me have better contact and control of my horse and it also keeps it up where I can see to it my rifle does not end up in a gully when it takes some rougher riding to...

SJPrice

Congratulations on a successful hunt. And thanks for the detailed and entertaining post. I look forward to reading your future hunting posts.

SJPrice

I just found a photo of his latest claim to hunting fame.

SJPrice

Buck,

I would still like to see the engraving on that FA Model 97

SJPrice

I would like to see more of that 97. I like the look of the engraving. The leather work looks great.

SJPrice

I have taken a few with the new Barnes Varmint Grenades launched by a 14 inch Contender in 221 Fireball. 22 cal entrance and never an exit, but all three dropped DRT

SJPrice

if it grows the ranks of folks who hunt and like guns, I am fine with it. We need more and more Americans to be gun friendly.

SJPrice

I read this entire thread twice and it still seemed repetitive!

SJPrice

NOPE, you are all wrong. The 1886 was the big one and the 1892 was the small one. How could they market a mid-size with a model number that was 1894. We would never be able to figure it out and factory orders would always be getting messed up thinking that the mid-size should be the middle number mo...

SJPrice

nude is out of the question, but maybe a camouflage thong

got to have a place to hook the clip on my Emerson folding knife

SJPrice

probably should not, but I feel like wading right in. I would suggest a Winchester 94 or a Marlin 336 with either of them being chambered in 30-30. Okay let the opinion games begin.

SJPrice

took my best shot at em all but since I used a 45-70 with a rainbow trajectory and marginal performance, missed em all. "Right Joe"?

SJPrice

http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/4,3138.html I have the full buckhorn Smith on both of my Browning 1886's. One is a SRC and the other is the rifle with octagon 26 inch barrel. I like them real well as they allow me to use them like a peep for close fast shots. The only thing I do not understan...

I had an old friend that when asked if he wanted to do something he would reply "might as well, can't dance and it is too windy to stack rocks" Another old cowboy friend from west Texas when asked about the cold weather would reply "it is colder than a cast iron commode on the shady s...

SJPrice

I am sorry, but I do not agree with requiring that someone acknowledge an act of kindness. It is nice when they do, but just because you offer a kindness it does not automatically saddle them with a debt of gratitude.

I just watched the movie "Gran Torino" and I am not embarrassed to say I shed a tear at the end of the movie. Not over the movie, but over what has become of our once proud nation. It reminded me that true Americans come in all colors, creeds and lifestyles..... I just needed to share thes...

SJPrice

The 50-110 is also missing and would be on my list, but my top would be the 45-70. The 1886 Winchester is, in my opinion, the finest lever action ever and the 45-70 is the most versatile caliber for it.

SJPrice

good point, or maybe I should say "hollow point" I think I am headed in the right direction.

SJPrice

Thanks, I never would have thought of that.

SJPrice

What primers are you using in that load?

SJPrice

Kirk, Thanks for the info. My thoughts on the softer lead were not so much that they would not ricochet as much but more that they would tend to mushroom more and penetrate less. That way even on a pass through of smaller targets, like say a coyote there would be less remaining velocity and energy. ...

SJPrice

I do a lot of riding for pleasure on working ranches in Texas, Nebraska and North Dakota. In doing so I run across feral animals that I am welcome to and even encouraged to dispatch. I would like to carry and use one of my 1886 Browning 45-70's as my saddle guns, but I am always a little worried abo...

SJPrice

I am a fan of the Smith ladder with full buckhorn. They do work like a peep for fast close work and you can use the notch for precision wok as well. The Smith is a very well made product and maintains the traditional look.

SJPrice

I think the picture labels were switched on the "Smith & Wesson 28-2 44 Mag" and the "Colt Peacemaker 357 Mag" about 3/4s of the way down the page. that one on the right looks more like a 44 than a 35

SJPrice

for $6,900 you would think the butt plate would fit better

SJPrice

some folks just like to read the same story over and over again but written by a different author each time

SJPrice

I would suggest reading the book, "Forty Years With The 45-70" by Paul A. Mathews. He does a good job of explaining paper patched bullets, their purpose, and several ways to do it right.

SJPrice

Thanks for the great info. Looks like I have some great places to start.

SJPrice

I am getting started loading for the 30-30 and would like to hear any thought on cast loads. I would like a load for plinking, for small game and for woods carry that would take a deer or coyote if opportunity presented itself. If it turned out to be the same load all the better, but I suspect it is...

SJPrice

Thanks for the info. I placed my order this morning from Midway and will use the file to fit process.

SJPrice

one other hint is to place a piece of heavy paper or card stock like a business card between the sight and the barrel so it does not scrastch the blue on the barrel as it is driven in or out of the dovetail.

SJPrice

what's not to love about a hand held artillery piece? Nice looking wood.

Darn, I was hoping for a "jerry springer" type of intervention with lots of name calling and inappropriate audience participation and drama... JUST KIDDING Great place to hang out with adults.
