Ya, I reckon that there is big enough to take down a condor.

That sure is a nice set ya got there.

My question to you is WHY? If you can get a Browning 1886, why not convert that (to .45-90) if you must with much less cost. Then you don't take another .348 M71 out of circulation and you get what you want with less cost. I happen to think that a goodly portion of the Browning leverguns are owned ...

If she is left eye dominant then she will shoot much better left handed. I got lucky with my wife as she is left handed but right eye dominant. She can shoot any of my right handed guns just fine.

Fantastic

As we all know, the leveraction is faster than a bolt gun for repeat shots in the right hands. Not the BLR. Too long of a lever throw. I didn't know that...can the lever be operated in prone position without canting the rifle? Is it any different/better with a short action vs long action or magnum?...

Fantastic

I just ordered 250 to try. They seem to be the most economical of the non lead 223 bullets. I am glad to hear you guys have had success with them.

Has anyone used thees bullets in the .223, Particularly the 50grn. I just ordered a batch to try, there video is very impressive but I have not talked to anyone who has actually used them.

You also need to make sure the washing machine has no detergent residue in it before washing. A few seasons back I recall washing my camo in the uber expensive scent eliminating wash, only to discover the wife had loaded up the fabric softner resivor on the washing machine. Needless to say that my h...

Sweet! I have one myself, I think you will enjoy your new toy

A very nice combo indeed, congrats

Great post Scott, I am glad you got to have a great weekend with your father.

You might also try the fish house located next to the cruse terminals off harbor boulevard down town. The USS Midway is docked right beside the restaurant and is open for tours if you get there early enough. I second 71's Idea about the parking, the trolley is a very convenient way to get to down to...

Fantastic shooting

95fan

Nice setup you got there

95fan

I have been tying for years, although lately I have not had any spare time to do so. For a while a few years back I tied for some of the local shops around here.

Welcome to the family

Does the aperture lock somehow or have click stops?

The aperture twists to lock and unlock and slides up and down within a rail on the front face.

95fan

Exactly how far are you planning to shoot? I have been known to hit the 400 yd gong with this very rifle from time to time. Although this is not my primary long range levergun I thought it would be neat to take it out once and awhile for silhouette. I most likely will leave the ladder set for 150-2...

95fan

I didn't see them listed on his website. What's the price on the ladder sight? He does not list them on his website yet. They are $75 shipped or $85 if you want a new front sight as well. There is a thread on the marlin owners forum that is dedicated to skinner sights and has a plethora of info abo...

95fan

95fan, How low does the peep go? Does it go as low as the notch in the barrel sight? Thanks for the picture, looking forward to a field report... Grizz I replaced the front sight with a higher one for that very reason. The ladder in the lowest position is slightly higher than the rear buckhorns on ...

95fan

Just got my new sights from skinner. They look great, I can't wait to try them out. http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn205/susp45/newsite2.jpg http://i305.photobucket.com/albums/nn205/susp45/newsite.jpg With the ladder up I can see both through the peep and under it for use of the rear buckhorns. ...

Welcome to the fire.

95fan

Congrats

95fan

hey didnt they have a simi auto 44 mag that was similar to this lever i think it was called the deerfeild or something? Allen, The rifle you refer to was called the Deer Stalker. I owned one back in 65 and what a gun it was, but back then being young and stupid I regrettably traded it away for one ...

95fan

I would get the 870. You can't go wrong with the old dependable remington.

95fan

Clearly those are nor-cal deer. We don't seem to have any around here in so cal.

95fan

Great shooting

95fan

What, no animal fries??

95fan

Sweet! That H&R is pretty neat.

95fan

Scott, Do you have a picture of your Linebaugh .500 -- blued, engraved and with those wonderfully scimshawed ivories? That is a thing of beauty.

They are on an African Bule Wildabeast. I would like to say that it is one of my trophies, but I have not gotten around to going to Africa. My uncle took it in 1989 IIRC.

95fan

Very nice!

95fan

The local Sportsman's Warehouse has a Bisley Hunter in .44 mag that I have been eyeing. I think that if I had one, it would see 10 .44spls for every .44 mag I put through it, but it does hang nicely in the hand. :D I think you should get it. I love mine. I Don't normally run specials through mine o...

Very nice, let us know how she shoots.

Very nice, you could do some pretty good yote hunting with that combo.

95fan

Very nice Jason, the wood looks pretty good on that one.

Out of all the SBH's that I have the hunter is the most accurate. It fits me so well that it is more like an extension of me, although thats the way it is suposed to be now isn't it.
