The .45 Trapper has already been mentioned but mine with a Ram Line stock feels like a toy --- haven't put it on a scale, but the hollow (i presume) plastic stock set vs. the wood makes for a featherweight little carbine and at least the stock is weatherproof (although i like the wood much better a...

Hay did you not know Grizzly bears are now under the protected animal act in Alberta as of yesterday :lol: Him or me ? I bought a 16'' Rossi For back packing fly fishing trips in 45 Colt with 300gr bullets going almost 1600fps it out penatrates a regular 12 ga slug on trees. I think the gun is abou...

If you can afford one they are really good but kinda ugly to my eye.

You could always go the other way, when my Wife first herd yotes howling in the back yard and the Dog give a growl like dad lets get them.She was scared!After a few lessons with the 788 6mm she out shot me big time too!

this doesn't answer your question, but the BB94 .444 LOADED WITH 7 ROUNDS , would build my confidense in big bear country. it's worth the slight weight and length difference cause a model 94 comes up to your shoulder like a fine english double. even the coreloc 240 will shoot thru a bear, and there...

P.S any shotgun in Canada has to have a 18.5'' Barrel or longer to be legal But Rifles do not. Could a rifle have a 14" barrel? Or like the US, does it have to be at least 16"? 2x22 Not sure, it would have to meet a certain min length I know you can buy a Ruger 16'' barrel bolt gun or any...

I had the pleasure to meet Clint wile he was here filming Unforgiven in Long View Alberta. He made a comment about the bumper on my truck,something like they will get out of the way when they see that coming. He was with another actor, the Women that played the Madam in that movie Hmmm?lol But he se...

Those soda bottle poppers are nothing new. Heck, we did that when I was a kid on my Uncle's hog farm. They had sulfuric acid around for cleaning something or other. My cousins and I would pour a little in a pop bottle, toss in a little aluminum foil and screw the lid on in a hurry. Usually would ta...

I would like to go out shooting this weekend but the snow yes snow has turned me into a sissy, wait for a nice day kinda guy! 4'' on the ground! gee will spring ever come!!
So I am traped inside watching hockey Go hawks Go!

That's what I am thinking the 30/30 and .303 only have bullets made for the 30/30,303 I mean the real .303 British round the 2200 to 2500 fps The cup and core bullets always get the job done heck I have pushed the .30 cal 165gr Rem at 3400fps and it got the job done, but I would not want it for a El...

I am so glad I don't have to deal with them. Hay it's snowing today we have 2'' on the ground ticks what ticks I just hope the cold kills the yellow jackets!but I don't think it will

I had a 99 like that in .303 Savage with more brass tacks on it than a mag full would wieght! I gave that gun away, ya I know you should not give a classic away lol, but he is a good friend and said the gun to him had some real history behind it, as I bought it in 87 from a indian women a real Canad...

I will get some pic's up as soon as the wife comes home and tells me why the computer is not talking to the Camera. I really want to get the pics of a Kling Core soft point up, maybe the best soft point ever made!
P.S
I am a hard core Nosler Part guy they always work for me.

brno602

I would keep it as is,it might not have colletor value to you but it will to someone else. I have the same rifle and when Hornady stopped making the 200gr FP I picked up 700 of them at half price they now make a rubber tipped 200gr, hard to find though I have a few. No fly's on the 33 Win great cal ...

That is too funny and I am Canadian!
Here we call them Texas gates every time I drive over one I think Hay I am in Texas time to strap on the Six shooter

Sure the RCMP would like that?

brno602

I don't know, I look at it in another way, Remember when you could buy a nice house for $120,000 and fill your truck with $40.00. Now a nice home cost's 400,000+ and it takes 110.00 to fill the truck? I once got 1000 primers for a $ 1.50 yep that's right the gun shop owners mom charged me for a box ...

Hi, I am new to sign on but have been reading in the background for a while now.

brno602

This is just so true for everything! Take your new truck to the dealer and see how many times you have to bring it back that's for the big three too, they are all bad! It is really something we have to live with I know it's sad and worse for us that do not live in the States. As they can hide behind...

I will get a pic of a KKSP in 160gr 7mm and my REM CL when I get home later today.

I am a big fan of the Nozler Part I have used them on lot's of Game from Deer to Moose and one Big Bear. Yes they do open fast and they do lose almost half their wieght. But they always work and on a Close range Elk it is nice to have the back half of the bullet pass through. In a 30/30 though I don...

Chances of Savage starting up production again on 99s are nil... People all along have mostly wanted something less expensive than Savage 99s... Now here's one with a safety you like and in a great caliber they aint making anymore of...The Bubba’d recoil pad situation creates an opportunity for you...

brno602

That is great! love to see posts like this I don't shoot enough anymore

But just shooting at ranges like that can teach or humble a guy and with a 30/30 my hat's off to you!

brno602

Price is Normal to me you can always put and fit a Pad on the the gun and she will be as good as new. The .308 and Savage are = in my opinion with Bullets up to 165gr Mind you I only reload and except for the 30/30 don't shoot factory ammo. 99s are my weak spot I just love em Still looking for a 284...

I would not want to carry one for more than a few klicks.They changed butt to butt on me?okay they ch...

brno602

Yes, I agree 30-30 is excellent for pig. Even the German's adopted the calibre, giving it a ref 7.62x51R. Pigs love close cover and also have poor eye sight so range is hardly an issue- unless you want to ambush them from the other side of corn fields etc Yep it is thick cover I bet more Moose have...

originals are still made in .375, .377, .458 and .510 in a couple different weights. I also miss some of the old originals. I still have several boxes of the 250 grain RN in .308 and some 600 grain RN in .458 for really big game. That's gota be some really big game! I am happy with a 405 Rem Corelo...

Trigger time practice makes perfect? As I get older(41) with demands from the wife and Work I am lucky to shoot 1200 rds of centerfire a year that is way down from my younger years, I don't count blasting a Handgun at the range that's good for 150rds a trip. I shoot gophers close to the city and the...

If I saw it I would think Calf elk I guess that = Red Deer as ain't no Red deer here even Red Deer does not have Red Deer you have to live here to know that. But at this time of year last years Calfs would be really a yearling and the cows are just very very pregnant now. In that pic it looks no big...

brno602

Thanks for all the info!
If I see one I will know what to do

I will have to check and see if they still have a bounty on them as the gov wanted them gone.
P.S I will take the 94 30/30

I have never aged a pork. Save the loin chops and grind the rest with vension for all kinds of sausage , brats, jerky, slim jims.......

I would go for the 300 sav, but I 'm partial to the mod 99. I am just wondering if the 308 and 338 mx will hang around or become another 307/356 win. Thats what I am thinking too, but we are in Canada so things are a bit different for us. I climbed to the top of a mountain once and found a old .300...

I would get the 99! For one thing you already have a 358 BLR you can find bullets to load or even factory ammo most places and are not limited to .338 Flat or Flex tip or only Hornady ammo. I can only buy one bullet for my 86 Win in .33/.338 for a tube fed gun thats the Hornady Flextip. I stocked up...

.303 shooters are a stange bunch I had a guy go crazy over my Long Branch Made in Canada .303 He kept talking about the peep sight? I could care less it was my first big rifle and it's not for sale!

Simply the best, ya my personal opinion lever gun made. Years beyond it's time the 300 savage. I get 2550fps with a 165gr as my average load with a Nosler BT bullet.Just such a nice gun to shoot. I have a Rem 700 Classic in 300 Savage I had the throat made longer, Stick your bullets out and it will ...

I will admit I am one who sells off his 30/30s or 32's and they are the only ones I have done so other than some crazy wild cats I have owned. Reason I can always find another I wont sell my 788 but that's not a real 30/30. I regret selling my Marlin to my big brother but he would sell it back to me...
