TedH, thanks for the very useful information on the .375. Personal knowledge goes a long ways in my book. I've got a Marlin and a BB both and a friend of mine is loading some for me now. Jacketed bullits are hard to come by and cast ones at a reasonable price aren't much better. Just got home from a...

I think so. A church down the street my brother attends is having a Thanksgiving dinner for anyone who wants to come, so we might go there. Ours had our services last night.
Happy Thanksgiving to all. We have a lot to be thankful for!!

"Flat" will never accurately describe any .45-70 load. Your key will be working up the most accurate load you can, then learning that load's trajectory by heart and either using a rangefinder or getting very good at range estimation. The latter is where I find most shooters, regardless of...

That's a beaut!! I've got one made in 1950 with the long forend like yours. GOOOOD looking rifles!!! Mine's #1658XXX Irv What year did Winchester make the mistake (IMHO) of going to the snubnosed forearm? The 1943 with the 2" beyond the barrel band. And the 1961 with 3/4" beyond the barre...

Happy birthday, guys. Nice rifle!! The best part is you can spend as much as you want and not feel guilty about it!! It's a birthday gift.

Does anyone know just what that tip was made of? Someone told me they thought it was some kind of aluminum alloy.....had to take their word for it cause I didn't know either.

Daisyman

I guess I haven't bought .348's for a while. Don't they still come as silvertips?? I've got 2 Win. 71's and a Browning 71, so those would be right down my alley.

Daisyman

I never knew Silvertips were ever available by themselves. I learn something new every day.
Thanks,
Irv

Uh, is that still $4.50?? If so, I'm in!!!!

Seriously, I can't imagine it, but are you looking to sell those??

Daisyman

How come I can never figure these out till I get WAAY to the end? I love the groaners!!

Daisyman

Nice old gun! I've got one also, and for whatever reason it seems that the 93's are not as high priced as some other models.......except mine, paid too much for it. I have no idea why, (on both counts), but it's good for us. I also had a chance to buy a nice case colored Marlin 1936 for a very reaso...

A few years ago, a buddy and I were hunting with .348's, him a Browning and me a Winny. He also shot one through the brisket and he bled like a stuck hog for while. We tracked for a least a mile and a half in the snow, getting down to a drop at a time. He made a big circle and my friend says, "...

I'm going to go get a shower, and I don't even want one. (The gun that is) Kinda' like the signs around town on new pickups.....$8000 off, hurry in!!........Yeah right.
I'm with you

Oh Boy, made my day!!

Daisyman

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just want to try my old Winchester '73 out for the fun of it, so rather than spend a good deal for a cannelure tool, I will try the crimp die first and see how it works.

A guy on another forum was asking whether a properly handloaded Ruger in .38-40 was deer capable.

Good on you! That old rifle is a dandy special order everything gun. If some knothead just hadn't drilled and tapped it, that gun would be worth some big bucks!! (I know, in 1906 it was just another tool). It's sure fun to take game with an oldie that the AR-15 aluminum crowd has written off years a...

stretch, I used to have a Thumper myself, a 1955 500 BSA Goldstar. My first bike, bought it in a basket. Wish I still had it.

Here's a link to a video I tossed together from the first short trip I took on the Royal Enfield Rumbler 500. https://youtu.be/0FbjufuZSnk Nice video and a dandy bike, but I gotta tell ya', you've got WAY more faith in your fellow man than I do!!! I wouldn't have rode between those cars stopped and...

Daisyman

Absolutely right, when you see a gun you want in Tulsa at a good price, the time to buy it is when you see it. AND ...if I don't write the row and table number down, I can't find it again anyway.

Daisyman

I noticed a new one at the gun show yesterday for $595, new in the box and thought that a good deal. Really!!! I guess I don't follow the BLR's myself so maybe I'm behind the times. The one shown was really nice, and all the other leverguns are so pricey that one looked like a deal....a bit more th...

Daisyman

Yea, but weren't lever guns a lot cheaper 5 years ago??

If yours was a deal back then, I would think this one would have been a REALLY good deal. IMHO. Take a look #13657347, its nice.

Edit: sorry, I left out a number.

Daisyman

Boys, I think we were napping.....a Browning BLR .22 just sold on GB for $375. No reserve. That had to be a deal, didn't it or am I missing something...... I don't know how to link to it....

I didn't see it till after it was gone.

Irv

Good for you! Being out of a job can really mess up your life. You go through all your savings and have to start over. Takes a long time to recoup.

Looks like he's been a working those antlers pretty good. Nice and wide!! Good un'.

I saw a Legendary Frontiersman at Cabelas in Wheeling on my ride out to Missouri. They had two, both new, in the box. $1099 and $1199. Not sure why one was $100 more. A couple questions..... Were these made in Japan or USA? Were they only available with round barrel or was octagon offered? I'm seei...

Just doesn't have that ring to it, does it?

Watch your stuff! They got those jokers last year that was thieving from the dealers, but who knows, they might be back. :evil: :twisted: Instead of being arrested, they should have let the other dealers take them out back and give them a dose of Oklahoma justice! On the other side, I've been to a l...

Daisyman

I got one, too. Rather spendy stuff I'm guessing, but oh so nice to look at!!

Daisyman

Gopod Luck! I'm hunting with an old Winchester 1894 take-down in 32 Special this year. Put a three leaf sight on the oldgal and I'm good at 50, 100 and 200 yds! Hitting an 8" pie plate eveytime. http://images16.fotki.com/v382/photos/2/36012/11898451/DSC_5260-vi.jpg http://images46.fotki.com/v2...

The last one I saw sell was one made up of leftover (reject?)( rough) parts with no serial number on the receiver. That was several years ago and it went for $1200 if I remember right. Crazy!!

that is an impressive looking collection of sheridans !! Thank you. That's a lot of years of looking when stuff could still be found for a reasonable price.
