not what you were looking for but in the Book "Last of the Brown Bear Men", the story of Pinnell and Talifson. There is a chapter where one of the guides takes an 11 foot Browine with his 30-30 94 winchester. He later gets a winchester 70 in 375 H+H by the way.

I have one of the Smith & Wesson Thunder Ranch models. Other than needing to add a set of target grips and having the fixed sights regulated for a 250 grain bullet at 850fps it is great. I would rather be shooting the 250 grainer at about 900 to 1000 fps.

buckeyeshooter

don't forget the .475 grain handgun bullets for 'cheap' plinkers. I use them in my .470 capstick

buckeyeshooter

Hang on guys--- I have a box of Speer 30 caliber 180 grand slam bullets that stick terribly in Lee dies. If I use RCBS dies in another caliber --they work fine. I called Lee when I stuck one badly and could not get it out. Lee sent me a new die and told me that the shape of that particular bullet wo...

I am getting good results with winchester cases, a max charge of H4831, CCI large rifle primers and a 180 Grain Sierra gameking. It is a fast accurate load. I have taken 118 whitetails in 119 shots (no misses-- 1 second shot required) with this loading.

buckeyeshooter

Not is single action only and that old-(1958)-- try a $500 to $600 at an Ohio Gun Collector show if original. However, this one's been Bubba-fied. Notice the lack of the color case on the hammer and the bubba trigger stop. This condition--- $300.00 is about right.

buckeyeshooter

I suppose there is absolutely nothing wrong with the 475 turnbull. But if I were going to have Turnbull rechamber an 1886 I would look real hard at the 50-110 or 50 alaskan. Componets are readily available in 50 caliber and my bet is that these two will do more than the 475 chambering.

buckeyeshooter

the logical reply is as many as you can afford

buckeyeshooter

26 inch is my favorite but I also have 20 and 22 inchers

buckeyeshooter

I would take my marlin cowboy in 50 alaskan, a marlin 39a in 22. my smith and wesson 3 inch 29 and my remington 870 12 guage.

buckeyeshooter

I would think a browning/winchester 1895 in 30-06 or 270. The winchester carbine I have has a ladder sight marked to 1200 yards. Not that I have a range anywhere long enough to try it out

The 270 or 30-06 shoots plenty flat-- and you can use them new fangled pointy bullets

Last time I looked this forum was called "Leverguns". I am just as entitled to an opinion as you. Maybe more-so cause I had to carry one of the platforms you love. If you want 'nice' replys to your 'stuff' go play at the AR Forum.

buckeyeshooter

This fella is selling hard! I am not a believer and no amount of 'stuff' said will make me one. This 'platform' is marginal in the woods and in the millitary as far as I am concerned.

buckeyeshooter

I hunt Ohio, Pa. and Kentucky for deer. Bear hunting is done in Pa. and I have hunted Idaho.
I have shot 119 deer. Longest shot lasered at 134 yards. Shortest shot 12 feet. Average I would guess at 30 yards.
Longest bear shot 230 yards, shortest 6 feet average 20 yards.

buckeyeshooter

I like rifles better. The said disadvantage of barrel lenght in the woods has never happened to me. With the longer barrel you get better velocity, less recoil from heavier weight and more shots in the tube. Plus they look better

buckeyeshooter

For me .308 winchester is a good place to start. But a 308 version is an AR-10 not an AR-15. Not what you were suggesting.

buckeyeshooter

You have got to be kidding me! You are recommending a plastic pop gun in a varmit caliber to a handgun caliber as a do it all. This guns a joke and the rounds it shoots are not suitable for big game. Give me a Winchester!

buckeyeshooter

She is a lying witch--- after election she would return to her 'true' position!

buckeyeshooter

IMO - a quality expanding bullet like a Nosler Partition or Barnes X is always a better choice than a lead.

buckeyeshooter

Glad to see the army also uses the % of bodyfat chart. The height/weight charts are usless for me. I stand 6'1" and weigh 268 with a bodyfat % of 16. So the 'chart' says 208 max. Obvisously, in my cases I train and compete in weightlifting contests so I am more developed than the average guy. I...

buckeyeshooter

Are the 700 grains available in .510 for use in my 50 alaskan lever gun????

buckeyeshooter

I generally shoot a deer of the year (9 month old) for one of my antlerless tags. These are always very tender and very good eating. Can you say "baby veal"!!

buckeyeshooter

I have DGR's in 458WM and 470 Capstick. The capstick's a blast. Componets are a bit more expensive, but you can use cast or pistol bullets in 475 to play with. I am positive it would have enough whomp for whatever you wanted to shoot.

buckeyeshooter

100 to 125 yards is about max for me with a 44 mag lever gun. I use 300 grain XTP's with a max charge of 2400

buckeyeshooter

22 rimfire

buckeyeshooter

I think it would be interesting to put a pair of hunter/outdoorsmen--- like one of us on there. That way there could be a contrast to be seen. I am also wondering about these folks unarmed (a .22 chipmunk is light) in bear country. It would be a great place to have your favorite lever action!!

buckeyeshooter

no 45/70 or 50/110 but i do keep a double barrel 10ga loaded with buck and slug

buckeyeshooter

ok, I bought one of the deluxe 1886 takedowns and 3 of the repro 1895's -- 2 in 30-06 and a 30-40 krag. The only one I have fired is the 100th anniversary 30-06 carbine. I have put about 200 rounds through it with no problems so far. I would very much like to have them 'retro-fitted' to original for...

3031, reloader 7 and varget all get use.

buckeyeshooter

marlin 39

buckeyeshooter

Runs in my mind that it was a bit less than 3000 in the 94 big bore.

buckeyeshooter

I think it depends on where you are hunting and how wary the game is. In the east where I live-- if a deer sees you move or just sees you-- they are gone! When I was in the Rockies-- deer would stand and look at me like they did not know what a human was. I do'nt think you would need camo there-- as...

buckeyeshooter

King of the woods cartridges implies royalty and ultimate authority--- if this is the case -- the the choice is not listed-- it is the 50 alaskan

buckeyeshooter

I have had a decided preference on Marlin manufacture until 2 years ago when the 1895's and 1886's have been reintroduced in limited runs. Thus have bought 4 winchesters to 1 marlin.

buckeyeshooter

I know they were offered several years back, however, I have never seen a live one!

buckeyeshooter

I have not shot the 180's out of my 44 mag rifle, but I do carry the Federal 180 grain JHP in my 3 inch S & W 29 as my personal defense CCW gun. I am quite confident it would get any aggressors attention and end hostilities immediately.

buckeyeshooter

Sorry guys! the 12 and 20 are weak sisters. I have sawed off double in 10 ga. The OO Buck in a 10 yeilds 19 pellets. Thats double the 12 in a standard load. The 10 gives you 54 pellets of #4 -- again double the 12 load. If I have to defend-- I want something that ends hostilities immediately. It's a...

buckeyeshooter

I enjoy both, but big game hunting is as good as it gets

buckeyeshooter

a very honest and excellent post. Too bad people of this quality refuse to run for office today.

buckeyeshooter

I would love to find one like that for that money. Generally -- all I see is beat guns for 3 times that money!

buckeyeshooter

I'm using varget in my 84 BB.

buckeyeshooter

The only way to get brass is to shoot factory ammo. I got also. But I got a case of ammo for it when it was 'only' $19.50 a box. I just reloaded some cases with a Sierra 150 grain RN using Varget. I hope it shoots well.

buckeyeshooter

I own a 444 and 3 45/70's. Performance is about the same with same bullet weights. I think the 45/70 recoils a bit harder with max loads. Both rounds however, have moved to the shelf from the time my 50 alaskan was finished.

buckeyeshooter

Just another example of why law abiding citizens should be allowed to exercise 2nd amendment rights and carry a handgun in a national park.

buckeyeshooter

What a nice rifle! It is also quite interesting to see the history of the gun deciphered here!

buckeyeshooter

I don't know about NE Ohio, but Blackwing in Columbus could do the job. You might also try Jaqua's in findley-- they specialize in high end shotguns. If they can't do it there-- they will know who can do it.

buckeyeshooter

Horse is larger grained than beef and more of a lamb or veal taste than beerf. The piece I had was a bit tough but I don't know if they are all that way.

buckeyeshooter

For a nice pair, my choice would be a 45/70 Marlin or Winchester 1886 and a 6 inch S & W 29-2.

buckeyeshooter

looking good there!
