When I was young I looked at 99's in a ho hum light and they were common and reasonable. My Father would just look at a 99A and tell me that's a beautiful rifle maybe someday. Well someday never came ,but has I am older now I really appreciate the 99 and the 99A more so. Seems like I only find them ...

I agree 100%. I have a T/C Black Diamond that changes POI as I shoot it and it fouls. So I shoot 4 and clean it and if I'm hunting I leave it dirty for a week which I never did with a blued rifle.

EdinCT

Old#7 That is a good find! I would love to have one like it. I knew of a warden who picked one out of confiscated poachers weapons and carried it for a truck gun for years. He loved it and said he really missed it when he had to turn it in upon retirement. I sure hope the ST didn't melt it down.

EdinCT

That's a nice eating buck also Les. I see I am not the only one to tape up a stainless rifle. I have one of the first inlines T/C came out with and taped as much as I could because it felt like a neon sign in the woods. I am using my 338 for a cow elk hunt at the end of the month and thought maybe I...

I have had a poor season deer hunting and hadn't killed any. I usually have 2-3 by this time. Well I had evidence of a small buck behind the house but had put 4 or more days in several trees during archery season with no sightings along rub lines. I hunted a friends farm 2 miles down the road and sa...

My wife just had a knee replacement and when the visiting Nurse came she asked if we owned firearms. My wife said yes with out delay, she was then asked are they locked up? I then told the nurse that my Father would of asked her a pretty crude personal question and then said that's not my business a...

I always had better luck with .377-378. I would also recommend you powder coat a few bullets to try. It adds 1-3 thousandths of an inch and stopped leading. I can recommend NOE 235 flat points also, they actually shot almost as well as Hornady 220's.

EdinCT

If I recall correctly the 375 has a 1 in 12 twist which is faster than the 38-55's 1 in 16 so it should stabilize heavier bullets better so I don't think that's your problem. What dia. are the cast you are shooting ?

EdinCT

You will not be sorry with a Leupold.

EdinCT

Looks like you are ready and any legal deer is in trouble!
I have had my scout mounted 94 out several times but the herd seems thin were I have permission this year.

EdinCT

Boy that just reminded me of my Dad he always carried a Tree Brand. Funny note many of the younger men I work with carry a pocket knife, I would feel naked without one.

EdinCT

Looked at a Remington 141 in Washington state that had the SS# inscribed the same way. Still its nice to have family history. I have a friend that hunts with a model 10 20 ga. Its a sweet gun!

EdinCT

I have bought several and am really pleased as well.

EdinCT

I haven't ever shot a 45 colt rifle but had a Ruger that I wish I still had! I notice that in a strong rifle with 300 gr bullets it gives up very little to the great 45/90 when it was loaded with black powder.

EdinCT

I gave it a try yesterday morning and saw not a deer but I was on the ground and the wind swirled several times. I should of brought a 22 I could of put a hundred pounds of squirrel in the freezer

I have to admit the desire isn't has strong has it once was.

EdinCT

I have had no issues with the 38 WCF and the factory crimp die but only load 5 when hunting. You could also fill the case with puff-lon under the bullet to stop the bullet from pushing back.

EdinCT

That will do! Sure hope you get the chance to prove what Ken Waters said about the Maine guides stating of the superior ballistics of the 303 Savage. I have a bunch of 180gr round noses I would love to try in one someday.

EdinCT

OS I have told how my Dad bought me a New Frontier 6" with both cylinders when I was about 15 for 109. new. I could put a cylinder of Winchester Magnum hollow points into 2 inches at 50 yards on the bench. I wish I kept it.

EdinCT

Glad to see it found a good home. I love a honest rifle and in one of my favorite calibers too. I know its not a realistic probability, but every deer I ever shot with the 32 went right down or left a heavy blood trail. Much better than a 30WCF

EdinCT

I just checked my 32-20 94cl and it has a 3/32 bead 1/2" high. If I can remember correctly it had a Marbles buckhorn on it when new. I used a Lyman tang rear sight to good effect when the eyes where better.

EdinCT

It still stings that I put it back in the rack but at least it went to a good home.

EdinCT

Prayers for the family.

EdinCT

I powder coat my 300gr Ranchdogs for hunting in the 45/70 and they shoot better than ever. I have been told they are easy on the bore and one other plus I know is, you add 2 thousands to the dia of the bullet so it fills larger bores well.

EdinCT

Prayers for Tommy and family

EdinCT

Praying for you Bob!

EdinCT

Not sure if I would file them off, some of the plating peeled off with the expansion. I will admit I have some Speers that seem to have a thicker plate with the tip filed off flat to try.

EdinCT

I have shot them in the 38 wcf at <1350fps with out problems. I even filed the plate off the tip and checked the expansion and was surprised to see a nice flattened end about .5 inch when shot through water. Not sure I want to do that again though.

EdinCT

In line with what Six said. My Dad took a load of cattle down to a stockyard that I think he said was in New Jersey. He was waiting to get his truck weight after unloading and noticed a pen of cows that were real sickly with mucus running out of there noses and so weak they leaned on the fences and ...

EdinCT

Not that bullet but the Lyman 321297 and a NOE 323 180 gr. I load them over 27.5 gr of 30-31 or 25 of Reloader 7. Both loads shoot around 1900-2000 fps and could be heated up if I wanted.
I bet no moose would walk away from that bullet at 2000 more than 100 yards.

EdinCT

Praying for you all.

EdinCT

I do the same has Les but put around 100 bullets in a baggy and a few drops of Rooster jacket and coat them. Let them dry overnight and load them up, honestly don't see any difference with or without lube though so its just to make me feel better.
Great shooting Les!

EdinCT

J. Miller, I know a Gentlemen who is 96 years old now and served on a B24 in the pacific. He is a truly gentle soul. He recently said something that seemed pretty enlightening. If they come for your guns be sure they get all your bullets first! He then went on to say "That the type of tyrants w...

Thanks To all it was a Nice day! I think my wife had the best present she bought a Sig 238 in 380 and picked it up. She got her CCL and saved her cash. Got to love it.

EdinCT

44WCF is easier to find brass and Jacketed soft points for. 38 WCF is what was popular in the Northeast so my family used it and I connect to its history. With cast bullets either is a great plinker and farm gun.

EdinCT

Praying for their family during this time, and rejoicing in her home going.

EdinCT

Prayer said for Sally and wisdom for her Doctors.

EdinCT

Pete, I had that 99 in my hand and my wife said better wait until we hear from the accountant about her taxes.(She is self employed) A few days latter she said go get it. Looks like you got it! But I am glad for you! I have a lever gun or two but a 99 is on the list, I even have a Redfield peep stas...

EdinCT

I've posted before that I have shot several deer with the 38wcf and it lets them down just fine. I will admit that the shots were about 50 yards though. All but one was a pass through and it broke a shoulder and stopped in the off side ham.

EdinCT

That will do! I am still happy with mine and look forward to using it in the fall.

EdinCT

I had requested to be notified when it was in stock, I didn't expect Winchester would drop it. Also heard 218 bee,25-20 and 32-20 is no longer going to be made over on Marlin owners. Just seems wrong!!!

EdinCT

I have paper patched the 32-20 bullets and loaded them in the 32 special with good results but after using several NOE molds I think the below would be the berries and if I ever had to sell my 32-20 :shock: I would buy one myself. http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=32&products_i...

Looks like a good project to keep you out of trouble. I only fished a Bamboo rod once, it was a Madison and I caught a small brown trout and a small mouth bass. It was a slow action rod and I was nervous has heck it would be damaged but its owner wanted me to try it out. I also had a huge coon come ...

EdinCT

I also agree with the above use a soft point for deer in the rifle. My best friend had a XTP glance off a shoulder and exit on the same side has the entrance. While the deer was recovered it went a long ways, the soft point always works well for me.

EdinCT

Good shooting Nath! That fox is the biggest I think I've ever seen. I do believe he would of tried a sheep if he was hungry.

EdinCT

I have wanted one for a long time! Happy you gave it a good home. I saw one at a gun show (Not has clean though) in Washington state a few years back but thought I would of become a felon bringing it back to CT. Sad to say with our Governor we are right behind the stupidity of Mass.

EdinCT

Prayers for Jeff.

EdinCT

What a Great gift! I bought one for 30 dollars new and carried it all over. I sold mine when I was around 19 to a guy I worked with and my Dad said you will regret that. He was right that time also!
Hope you and the boys get has much enjoyment from that one as I did from mine!!

EdinCT

Looks good Nath! I have a few hundred 57 primers yet in the reloading room, does that date me?

EdinCT

I had sent them an email asking if they would consider manufacturing a single barrel shotgun/rifle similar to the NEF Handi or Savage 220. Anthony replied that they were looking into that and also suggested a catalog. I haven't received mine yet though and its been 2 weeks?

EdinCT

Nice ! One is on my wish list I have a Redfield peep already just need the rifle. A friend told me the peep goes for about what we used to pay for a shooter rifle
