I think that is a great looking gun, and I would say the price was right. I used to have a 94 in 32ws, it was a rifle with half round half oct. barrel, ivery bead front sight, tang peep site, and tiger striped wood, but like so many othere dumb mistakes I let it go a long time ago, do I wish I had i...

well I have to admit that back in the late seventies I did exactly the same thing 10 or 15 times on a hunting trip . As I remember I started out with some shot loads (the ones Speer made in those days ) then progressed to some 240gr hot loaded Hornadys. I don`t recall that I had any problems at the...

Griff the only thing I think you and I dissagree on is weather it is a Winchester or not, I have a modle 94 AE trapper in 45 LC, I like it ok but it reminds me of toy rather then a gun with the rebounding hammer, and the cross bolt safty which broke by the way so now I just have what amounts to two ...

I may be wrong, but I think the base of the 444 is a little larger then the 44 mag, not sure if the brass would be any good after shooting it in the 444. I had a Thompson contender 44 barrel that had been rechamberd for the 444, that was a handfull, but in the chamber of the 44 mag on the contender ...

Indeed a beautiful rifle, and great wood in the forarm.
So just wondering what did he get?

Replica is something made by a company that doesn't hold the name and the patent. Ie Rossi,Uberti, or Chiappa Anything coming from the Miroku plant and marked with the Winchester trademark and proof mark is not a replica. I have to agree, those guns, like the 94 we are talking about, contracted wit...

And please bring back all 3 loads in the 348 Winchester Silvertip line. 150. 200 and 250. Yes by all means PLEASE, and affordable. My boys and I where headed to Wy. for a goose hunt at thanksgiving time, we stopped in Evanston to buy gas, and pick up our licenses, in the store I seen a couple of bo...

Winchester may have taken note that Pedersoli is supposed to have a 71 on the market. That may have helped them make the decision to have one made by Miroku. Who knows, maybe they'll wake up and start making 66's, 73's and 76's..... I can just see the catalog headline: "Winchester is proud to ...

Gentlemen, Will someone tell me why the .348 even came into being. I don't think it will do anything the .45-7o can't do and it appearrs to me to be an 1886. I have owned both & prefer the '86.In .45-70. Seems like an upgrade that was useless.???? I really would like to know what the improoveme...

Also a question. Does anyone have information about the WW Silvertips? How they are constructed, jacket thickness, measurements, alloy, hardness etc? Maybe it would be possible to get someone out there to produce them? Or, does anyone have a connection at Winchester where we could make a request fo...

348 WCF! waaaaaaaaaaY 8) We need to get winchester to produce the ammo on a full time basis. At a much more reasonable cost. True, true, but I am just waiting for Hornady to come out with their Flexpoint in 348, the email I received from them said it was in the works, I wonder what size it will be!...

Yeah it's been a wile since I reloaded, I am looking forward to getting back into it, I know I enjoyed it almost as much as shooting, well maybe not, but I enjoyed it, I need to order a few things, I never did have a case trimmer, don't know how I got by with out that, and I am going to get a factor...

Be sure to get a Lee Factory Crimp Die! The absolute best thing ever invented for loading the .348. I even bought a spare. Another real key is to find a neck sizer die (Victor, mod71alaska, had some extras for sale at one time). It will extend your case life a great deal, as well as making the sizi...

That's a wonderful combo!!!

Thanks mod71alaska, I am just glad to have another 71.

Well I finily got it!! I think I got a pretty good deal on it, it cost me $825 plus shipping, along with the gun I got reloading dies, about 30 brass, almost a full box of Hornady 200 Gr. FP, it came with a williams FP receiver sight, and a dovetail plug. Here are a cuple of photos of it with my 188...

As for the state itself. With the exception of Alaska, it's hands down the most beautiful state in all of the US. When you factor in weather, then CA is tops, period. Those that will never visit this state, are really the ones losing out. My brother and sister in law came out a few years back, from...

More activity with my new Browning 71. I got a crack at another coyote this afternoon. He was facing me at 130 yards. I know the distance because he was standing at the back fence just inside the tree line. One shot and he dropped right there. He was right around 50 pounds. I hit him with a 165 gra...

Can someone from California tell me the legislative intent of the law? The hidden intent is to slow down gun sales and use by attacking ammunition sales; the Internet ban includes all "ammunition related" sales by Internet, including gun magazines. California has initiated or will initiat...

I know absoultly nothing about prices for any "Old" gun, but the first thing that goes through my mind when I see a gun like that one is "where have you been, and what have you done"...cool

Terry, I hope your 348 shows up soon. I am sure you will enjoy it. I know I am having a great time with mine. Please give us a range report when you get a chance. Steve Thanks Steve, I know I will enjoy it, I never should have gotten rid of the first one I had, but from the pictures this one looks ...

A friend of mine, lives just a few miles from me, they raised sheep for a lot of years, then branched out to cattle, they have hay stacks around their home and the deer come down to feed, anyway he herd something out side, so went out to check it, but he did take the Winchester 94 30-30 with him, cl...

Terry, I am loading the 165 grain Hawks using new WW brass, with Winchester LR primers and 55 grains of Reloader 15, for just under 2,600 fps. This load gives me great accuracy out of my Browning 71. (DISCLAIMER) This is my load that I picked up off the Load Data web site and I make no claims for i...

I had a 94 BB in 375, traded it off for something, some times I do wish I had it back, but replacing my Browning 71 was more important to me so that is the way I went this time around. I still have ammo for the 375, I think the reason I got rid of it was because at the same time I had a Ruger #1 in ...

Yeah that would be a pricy Coyote, but I think it would make a great Elk load.
Terry

Sixgun, That deluxe looks like a great 71. I would like to see a full size picture of it. The wood on the older Winchesters was usually pretty nice. You are correct about the 348 being tough on feral dog and or coyote sized targets. I also agree about the cost of 348 jacketed bullets. I am having a...

I just ordered bullets from Hawks, they have three or four different weights in stock, you can buy direct from them. Also the hunting shack sells loaded ammo for the 348, I ordered three boxes of their 200gr loaded ammo, they use the Hornady bullets, problem is they are back ordered three months, b...

Hello Steve The main reason I chose the 165 was to do what you have been doing with it, I have a box of Hornady 200 gr. bullets, I got them back when I had my first Browning 71, glad now I hung onto them. When I ordered from Hawks today they told me they would send me some load data, but thanks for ...

I am kinda new here, so hello guys! I had a Browning 71 back when they first came out, I traded it off for who know what, I have missed that gun, but now I am happy to say I have another one coming, I can't wait for it to get here! I am wondering if anyone has any good loads for the 165 Gr. Hawk bul...

That is a pretty gun, but at $1600.00 it makes me glad I got my Browning when I did, I wonder why it is so much less in Canada then here in the US?!
I do like the color case hardening though.
