Very nice rifle!

UPDATE: I got this watch back from the manufacturer. Originally Universal Watch Repair told me the mainspring was broken, the gear timing was off, it needed lubrication and re-sealing. The manufacturer called bull! They said the winding stem head broke and was jammed in a gear. They replaced the win...

I called around to speak to someone in corporate about this and to get clarification on the actual corporate policy on Friday. After being transferred 100 times I was getting annoyed but I once again told the story and added that I had been transferred endlessly and was getting quite annoyed. The pe...

I was travelling for reasons other than hunting and came upon a last minute unexpected opportunity. An air force contractor had special permits for deer that were overpopulated on the airstrip, testing site and disposal acreage. One of my friends found out about this before my arrival so I did not h...

Sweet! I love a good driven shoot!

Here's another response hot off the press: Good Evening XX. XXXXXXX, Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns regarding the Hyatt Regency. Your concerns are very important to us and due to the nature of the experience you have described, we feel it is important to involve the executive m...

I got a quick e-mail back from the Hyatt location in question. I still do not agree with or like the policy so they are off my list, but in the interest of fairness I will share all correspondence I receive with you: Dear XXXXX XXXXXXX, Please accept my apologies for the incorrect information given ...

I like the 22 Mag but wish it was reloadable to keep the cost down. Instead, the somewhat high prices keep the number of rounds I am shooting down. However, I've seen some bulk packed CCI's and Federals lately that are a few buck cheaper than buying the 50 round boxes up to the same quantity. The cl...

There was a time when I didn't care for the 308 Win cartridge. I was young and it got a bad rap from a few elders I respected. Eventually I sold mine. 20 something years later I bought it back mostly due to sentimental value and interest in leverguns moreso than the caliber. I got carried away shoot...

The premise did not have a "posted" sign with notice regarding Texas Penal Law. I looked on the web site for the policy but other than the FAQs page it just says the complete company policy is available by mail. The Hilton staff actually said they had heard of this one other time from the ...

Today I was booked at a Hyatt Regency Hotel in Texas for a few nights. After checking in the person assisting me noticed a range bag with earmuffs on them. She asked if we had any firearms. We told her we did but we were authorized to have them (some of these guys were also LEOs). She informed us th...

Nice watch!

I have a pretty expensive watch that my wife bought me on our honeymoon. It is automatic and for whatever reason it quit working after 8 years. I had trouble finding a customer service or repair center phone # for the watch company in the U.S.. I sent some random emails to the company but had no rep...

In a bit of clarification, my email says "new 1860 from Henry (top) and 1860". I'm not familiar with the rifles but after reading info here and seeing the other photo posted I am lead to conclude that the rifle on bottom in the photo I posted is not from HRA but rather pictured for compari...

Based on this post I bought several cartridge stops. I am going to try to color case harden one, Kasenit harden one and temper the other. I'll then run a few hundred rounds through each while plinking - might take a few months - but I can then see what seems to hold up best and get yet one more to r...

Great job to both of you!

remtech - were you addressing the problem in the original post or the problem I described?

Looks great!

Nath, The loading gate on my 94 357 sometimes kind of pops out in the front. Most of the time I can push it back in and there is no further problem. Once in a while it will not go back in until I work the lever and cycle a round. It's a pain but I never could figure out why it does that. Tis rifle w...

86er

Great! Gotta love those 357 rifles!

I strongly disagree with the concepts described aforementioned. For a field rifle, you lift both hands together to your cheek and pull it back into your shoulder. You then press your cheek down on the stock. That is a proper gun mount. Then, if you are adjusting the scope you bring it back until the...

I like the .452 250 grain XTP with the Harvester Crushed Rib sabot in my TC. They worked good at 1800-1925 fps m.v. I switched to the .430 XTP ( not .429) 240 grain with the green Harvester Crushed Rib sabot. That bullet/sabot is a little more accurate in my rifle and the bullet was more consistent ...

Similar safety block for the hammer as the Henry RA BB.

Those are 45-70 Rhinos purchased in 2012. The chest cavity shot and particularly shoulder shots have produced a jelly-like handful of bloody material inside the animal. Very severe damage.

I've not used them personally in Africa yet but I can talk about their use here in the US. In the photo you will see a 405 Woodleigh on the far left that was traveling 2000 fps. The range was 40 yards. It hit a small watusi on the top of the shoulder, broke in and verred toward the rear, clipping th...

I have three guns that my Dad gave me that I would never part with. Other than that, my Purdey is the only one that is priceless to me. I'd sorely miss many others but under the right circumstances they all have a price.

Nobody has taken a 32 Spl that I can recall. We have had 30-30's, 357 Mag, etc. In the bushveldt country you arent likely to shoot more than 200 yds. There are Impala, Blesbok, Baboons, Klipspringer, Rheebok and so on that are under 150 pounds and can be taken readily with that power level. Domestic...

Very nice!

Everyone called the bad guy "he" and most assumptions were that the bad guy would be in your house. I'd like my bullet to make it across McDonalds from the dining area to the counter, penetrate the back of her wheelchair and enter and expand in her body to turn her lights out and then exit...

I've put primed brass w pointy bullets in the mag tube of a Marlin and fired 3 live rounds over them in an experiment to see if it'd fire off the primer in front of the pointy bullet. Didn't happen. Then I unwisely fired pointy bullets in that rifle several times (about 100) and nothing happened. Th...

In experimenting with the 357 Mag and then the 360DW in a rifle I figured out some of this as it pertains to these cartridges with these tools. In 10" bbl Contender there is some unburned powder residue from the loads I tried. At 16.5" there is none that is detectable. There is a significa...

I have a few LWRC M6's. they are piston driven carbines. You will not believe the manufacturers " maintenance schedule". They have an extensive list of parts to replace and parts to check and clean. This starts at as little as 2500 rds for some parts and 20,000 for others. My S&W M4 is...

The caliber is a bit longer than 357 Magnum but not as long as 357 maximum. The rifle has a simple .21 chamber ream and polish. The cartridge guides had to be filed back a little to handle the length. It'll still shoot 38's or 357 Mags. The 360DW hits the sweet spot with the 180 gr. XTP as far as bu...

Let us know the range results!

Great gun and a lot of fun to shoot!

Not offhand, we rested it on the side of a tree with my arm under it for support.

Looks like fun!
