I only hope the trigger is better on this one than the one that came on my High Grade SRC. That one was heavy and gritty until I had an action job done on it. Now it is just under 3 pounds and crisp. In spite of the trigger the SRC was pure eye candy and shoots tight groups. It has accounted for sev...

Hooray! I decided a while back I needed to get an 1886 Browning High Grade Rifle to go along with my 1886 Browning High Grade SRC. I asked on the classifieds here and Joe Reilly was helpful to tell me he had seen one on Auction Arms. At any rate I got it and it will be delivered to my dealer for pic...

Like I said, my SRC is my go to lever action, but I am thinking a rifle would be even better. Does anyone here hunt with their Browning 1886?

SJPrice

Good idea Griff, I will do that.

I have a great Browning 1886 SRC High Grade. I have made a few modifications to it and it is my favorite hunting gun these days. As much as I like it I have always liked lever action rifles over lever action carbines. Does anyone here have experience with the 1886 Browning rifles. How do they balanc...

I guess it would be a solution to an over run population of coyotes. Release some sterile wolves and run out the coyotes. Course then you would have to release sterile cougars to run off the wolves and then sterile lions to run off the cougars and so on...

She should be more careful, those things are loaded with nails.

Scotch Brite pads work very well. If you use the same color on each gun they will end up matching. These are what Freedom Arms recommends for touching up one of their premiere grade guns if it gets a scratch. I think they use the maroon pads.

We have a "Super Bowl" about a mile from the house, but I think they are only open for league bowling on Sunday Night. Not much ever happens there so I am not sure why you would want to watch it?

SJPrice

Has anyone here done business with "The Custom Shop, Inc." out of Hamilton, MT or does anyone know about them? I am interested in a rifle they have listed, but I have never heard of them. Thanks for your responses.

SJPrice

I would call that GREAT customer service. Kimber is and has always been high on my list of companies.

I grew up a cowboy in the Sandhills of western Nebraska and Saturday was go to town - stock up day. I was pretty tight with what little money I had (that was depression days - 1938 - and I was only 12 years old) and my entertainment was going to the auction figuring something would come up I could ...

Thanks Hobie. Great read!

SJPrice

Okay, I will grant you that the question of 94 Marlin vs 92 Winchester is over asked and unnecessary. But could someone please help me to sort out the 1895 Marlin vs 1886 Winchester differences? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I do not know the story, but I now hope someone finds it and posts it here. I am hooked and now need to know!

SJPrice

OK, I'll pay along. For me, it has to be the 1886 Winchester. They may be a little heavy for some, but they just feel "right" in my hands. Their silky smooth actions are a pleasure to use and the original calibers offered are sufficient to take most North American big game. 1886 Wincheste...

SJPrice

for me it is the 44 Mag. I have no good reason. I just do not get the least bit excited over it. I think maybe it is because it got way over exposed with all the Dirty Harry hype. No offense to all the guys here who own and love their 44's.

SJPrice

I like the Barnes 200 Grain DPX for my 44 Special carry load. I load them to 900 fps out of my 396 Night Guard Smith. Tried them out on several feral hogs. They penetrate 8 to 10 inches, expand to over .75 inches and hold together exceptionally well. Recovered weight is always within a few grains of...

As a New Years wish to all here May we all retain that part of a 12 year old that makes life fun and exciting.

Guilty!! Guilty!! Guilty of almost all of the above. It sure is great seeing I am not the only one.... Do you ever sleep with a levergun just to have it close to you?? My wife got over the jealousy years ago. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Slept with my 1886 Browning High Grade just last...

Okay I will add another one just to help keep this one going cuz I am having a ball reading the "confessions" Do you ever grab a big bore lever action to "dispatch" a small pest or rodent when the pellet gun sitting next to it in the gun safe would have worked just fine? (can you...

This is more fun than I ever expected.

Newbie here...great place folks! This one got me thinking... Do you ever sneak that new rifle in while the wife is in the other room, so she doesn't see it? Been a couple of those around here! Jon Great "do you ever" question. And to answer that one I used to. She never did understand my ...

More than I'd like to admit :shock: e "it's quiet out there. Too quiet!" My family already thinks I'm weird anyway so nobody notices much anymore :D jb 8) That line got me chuckling all over again. Okay the rest of you guys, out of the closet and add your "do you ever" (s)

SJPrice

Do you ever is sometimes a fun question. So if you feel up to confessing on yourself jump in with your own "do you ever question" Do you ever sit down to read a good book about cowboy life or a good western novel with a lever action across the arms of the chair as a place to rest your book...

Threats include habitat loss and fragmentation. While international trade in jaguars or their parts is prohibited, the cat is still regularly ki...

Is a jaguar any bigger, faster or more aggressive than a cougar? And please control yourselves on the sports car remarks.

Cute, yes, but wait till he grows up and remembers how good people tasted.

minus 6 F here with 30 MPH winds, gusting up to 40. It is blowing and drifting the 2 inches of new snow we got overnight that fell on top of the 7 inches already on the ground. The sun was out for a few minutes today, but it clouded over before I got a chance to get outside to tan.

May I ask where you got your holster for your 696? I have a 696 Night Guard and would like a holster like that for it.

Thanks for helping me spend a little cash. Looks like I am heading back to the local dealer in the morning.

I am amazed that there are no 22 rimfire experts around this afternoon?

Okay I found a Browning BL-22 Grade II today at a local shop. It appears to be in new condition with no handling marks at all. They are asking $399.00. Seems fair to me but I am not real familiar with the prices of 22 levers. How does the Browning compare to the other choices from Marlin, Winchester...

As someone else on here advised, a small piece of leather between the sight and the barrel will keep it from scratching as it slides across.

Remember where Obama keeps his head. He generally would not be able to see the flag passing in front of him. It would have to pass to the rear and then probably at half mast for him to catch a glimpse.

I suggest all take a look at the NRA sight. HP is listed as a supporter of the anti gun groups out there.

SJPrice

It was my understanding he was a pretty steady contributor to anti gun and anti 2nd amendment groups. For that reason he does not and will not get my time or money spent on his movies. God rest his soul.

An old west Texas cowboy once told me that a pair of Luchese boots were the second nicest thing you would ever slip in to. I agree with others here in that you need to find boots that fit your feet and every bootmaker has their own style of "lasts" that determine the shape of the arch. I h...
