I've got a friend who has a Stoeger Condor Outback in 12ga. Seemed well built and a lot of fun in a small package. Would have been better with ejectors as opposed to extractors. I really like double barrels but feel they really shine with ejectors.

Looks like an improvement over the gray, wet, 40 degree days we've been getting. Nothing else in the forecast either.

When I moved from the central time zone to Indiana I really appreciated that we didn't participate in DST but that changed a couple years ago. I do like the additional daylight in the evening hours after I get home from work but I still feel it's not natural and it's not necessary, so why should it ...

Congratulations! Sounds like a great reason to travel!

There is a lot of grumbling across the interwebs about CTD's anything but cheap pricing. I haven't ordered anything from them in ages. I guess time will tell if they actually loose business because of this.

nemhed

Looks like there are several others from the AppStore for the iPhone. I'd be interested in hearing about anyone's experiences with these.

nemhed

So have you tested it yet? Unfortunately it looks like it is $4.99 for the iphone. Very interesting, though.

You probably can't go wrong with any of the rifles mentioned and these choices typically come down to personal preferences. I recently decided to spend my year end bonus (which really wasn't very big) on a bolt action rifle in .308 Win. I'm really a big fan of the Savages and own a Model 10fp in .22...

nemhed

boy y'all dont make it easy to decide lol. 22LR or .17 grrrrrrr Not an "either or" proposition, but you have to have a 22lr first, then get a 17 hmr. Although I do admit sometimes when I'm shooting my 17 I think "now why do I need a 22lr?". 22lr is just too cheap and too much fu...

nemhed

Let's remember, if we all stuck with what we "needed" the civilian firearms industry would have died out a long time ago. Think about it, a well made rifle should last several lifetimes and could be passed down from generation to generation. That being said, the 17hmr fills a niche and has...

AR-15 VS AK-47, Solved Once and For All!

Definitely looks like a winner for fans of the 45acp!

I was briefly fascinated with the .300 Whisper/.300 AAC. The platform makes the most sense to me if used suppressed with subsonic loads. That would be a ton of fun but not MUST HAVE for me. If you're not going to pony up the extra coin and run it suppressed then other rounds make more sense. As far ...

No suggestions Pitchy, but thanks for posting, I giggled like a 5 y.o. while watching that! If you need more project ideas, check the Instructables website.

Just me you understand, but I see NO REASON to even buy one of those guns.
They are too big, and wont do anything a well loaded 44 Mag or 45 Colt wont.

I suppose "shock and awe" counts for something if one is facing an enraged brown bear.

This post has brought back memories! I used to frequent GAT when I lived in the suburban Chicago area, almost 20 years ago. I think I still have a can of black powder with a GAT sticker on it. I'm glad the place is apparently thriving.

Welcome! Welcome! The sooner you start posting pictures of your leverguns the better!

I love the stuff and as previously stated, this get addictive and I've now done several guns. Don't over think it, it's not that difficult, and har...

Wow, nutnfancy on youtube has a couple of very unflattering videos on the UTAS.

I also have a Kershaw Blur with the drop point, partially serrated blade. It was purchased at The Gun Store during my one and only trip to Las Vegas. Got that instead of spending the money shooting a full auto. :wink: I've also got the much smaller Kershaw Chive. Both of these are Ken Onion designs ...

You're obviously a true artist, Pitchy, dedicated to you medium.

The TP on the leaf blower is the funniest thing I've seen all week !!

nemhed

Yep, good lesson there for anybody with an old fashioned smoke pole. Those bristles don't want to reverse direction while still in the bore. Glad it all worked worked out. BTW, that rifle looks like a good working man's hunting tool!

nemhed

That is a good article. Thanks for posting! Africa Game Trails by T. R. is one of my favorite books on the subject of big game hunting. It is a must read for anyone interested in this bygone era. Maybe Cunnighame's journals will get published.

I'm a big fan of the Hornady 180 gr. XTP JHP, and I use 2400 powder pretty much exclusively in the 357.

And he played a sleazy doctor in the Crank movie and it's sequel. I think he'll take any acting roll they throw at him. I guess I would too if paid enough.

Thanks for all the replies! For those of you interested in these things, we skinned this 'yote last night after I got off work. The load used was a 180 grain Hornady XTP JHP on top of 12.5 grains of 2400 powder. The bullet entered just below his chin (do canines have chins?) nicked his windpipe then...

Looks like good shootin' and good eatin' !

That's great! Nothing succeeds like success! I could PM you some photobucket instructions if that would help. Everybody loves pictures.

While our Walmart doesn't carry any reloading supplies, they have several AR-15s and Mini-14s in the rack, plus they sell a bunch of AR accesories. Go figure!

Funny! If you go to memegenerator.net, you can make things like this all day long and send them to friends and enemies. Not that I would do that,my time is way too valuable.

nemhed

Great rifle, great picture! My 39a is the first firearm I ever owned and the last one I would ever part with. It's also responsible for my love of square bolt Marlins.

nemhed

Congrats Nath! Great picture and great shotgun!

Very nice! I love those "small block" Marlins!

I haven't been around here much for over a year. I'm all in favor of everyone flying their own personal freak flag once in while, or even all the time. I vote this my all time favorite thread on this forum, ever!

^^This is what I did after the last national election. I owned an AR for a couple years and sold it for a considerable profit after Obama was elected. Then I bought a .44 mag levergun, a Henry .22 levergun, and a Remington 870 with the money. Semi-autos are fun, but the fun quickly wears off for me ...

And the irony of my above post is that I'm guilty of labeling the labelers (ad nauseum). So my apologies to everyone, especially bulldog1935, who I wasn't specifically picking on by quoting his post.

you want to see how the other side thinks? I don't agree with them, and I think their views of us are more warped than our views of them (chalk it up as a success to the left-wing fear-mongers). But these are not chimp-screaming Huffingtonites. This is a group of urbanites - bicycle commuters, bike...

TEDDY’S NEW BIG MEDICINE Teddy Roosevelt took a Winchester model 1895 lever action rifle, chambered in the .405 Winchester cartridge to Africa to hunt dangerous animals.

Speaking of modifying the Ruger leverguns, I'd love to see them make the 96 in .45 Colt or .357 Mag, since they make the .44 Mag, it shouldn't be that hard. Of course a .327 Fed Mag would be a nice little number (yeah I know .32-20 is more historic, but I like straight cases better, and thicker bra...

Tutt, I like the ATK, there's nothing like the sound of a BIG single. How have your dealings with your local HD dealer been since Harley decided to jettison the Buell line and close the plant?

Williams lists a specific FP-39 for the 39a. I don't have my 39a in front of me but I don't recall the holes being diagonal.

nemhed

If ease and repeatability of adjustment is important to you, my choice would be a Williams FP. Natchez has them in stock for $53. For my Marlin deer rifle in 44 mag I got a Skinner sight set which I really like. It's rugged and foolproof in its own right and I won't have the need to adjust the sight...
