Re: Federal Bulk .22s - price and availability at Walmart

Friday night I got the last 4 boxs of federal bulk at $13.47 a box. They also had some new Winchester X-Pert HV for $12.97 bulk. I use the regular Winchester X-pert and asked if they had more coming and the manger said in a few weeks.

Winchester 1886 sling

Giving some thought to using a sling on my Winchester. Just want to freeup my hands. Last deer season it was a pain to drag my deer and carry the gun together. Thought I would see what other have tried.

Re: Yuma gunshow report

BenT, were you at the Duluth show? I went there on Saturday not to impressed. Was also looking for reloading gear but nothing. Did sell one of my bolt guns but not the Winchester. Do think the show is getting smaller each year.

1885 Rifle

I have been thinking about getting a Uberti 1885 Low Wall in 30-30. I would like any insight into these. Are they shooters out of the box or need work? I will use it for plinking and whitetail hunting. How did you find the fit and finish? Thanks for any inputs.
