Re: Input on a Remington 742 rifle?

I know two people with 742s one in 6mm and the other in 280. Both get shot maybe 10 times a year and the owners have no compaints. However I don't really know how they would hold up to alot of rounds down the pipe.

Re: Do you own an SKS?

Yep I got a 1954 Tula return in a laminated stock. I paid 80 bucks plus trade on an H&R pardener in the summer I was able to shoot Pepsi cans at 128 yards. But I had the Williams peep sight and was shooting at least 10 rounds every other day. So ya I like em good handy little rifle.

Re: Lets shoot the breeze about your first lever action shot

It was 3 years ago in early september with my grandfather's Marlin 1893 in 30-30, the target was a big carriage bolt we found in the toolbox of the Massey. We placed on a stump walked 40 yards back and then I was handed 1 cartridge, he taught me alot things about shooting a rifle before I even loade...

Re: New kid needs help with lever action carbine

Well the local store I talked about in my last post was Ellwood Epps. I just checked their site when I got home from work and they have new Rossi 92 trappers in 44 mag which I think would be well suited to my needs and I really like the looks of a 92. Canuck Bob did you purchase this 94 recently? If...

Re: New kid needs help with lever action carbine

Well I've looked on every site selling lever actions in Canada and I have found 2 levers that I like at a fairly local store (1hr drive). Both are Winchester 94's in 30-30 but I don't know if there pre-64's or not. But does the extra fit and finish of a pre-64 really matter in a rifle I'm going to u...

Re: New kid needs help with lever action carbine

I've only seen one savage 99 for sale and buddy selling it was asking a fortune for what kind of shape it was in. I'm really starting to like the idea of a Rossi 92 trapper in 45 colt though. I heard you can load 45 colt pretty hot and that would be as close I can to 454 casull in my area.

Re: New kid needs help with lever action carbine

JerryB I have looked at a Rossi 92 that looked like Chuck Connors 92 but I read online that they have to be taken apart and slicked up in order to be reliable. Is this right or would a good cleaning be enough?

Re: New kid needs help with lever action carbine

No sir it does not but I would prefer if I could mount a peep sight though. I like 94's and never heard a bad thing about one but they seem to fetch a premium around here and when I find one at a fair price it's gone by the time I call about it. Also I'm open to all suggestions on caliber even if a ...

New kid needs help with lever action carbine

Hey, been saving my pennies for a while now and think I have enough ($650) for a good lever action carbine. But I can't seem to find any old marlins in southern Ontario. So what would you guys and girls would recommend. I just want a reliable, accurate and nice carrying rifle in almost any caliber (...
