Looks like a great find.

Ours will start tomorrow morning. I live about a mile from the river bottoms and you can hear them quite well. Same on the first day of duck season.

I quit shooting and eating them decades ago, preferring light-meated quail, pheasants and grouse, but it is fun to feel the excitement in the air nonetheless. Dove are usually in short supply in my freezer . Pheasant and Partidge seem to take the most room of the fowl and always seem to have enough...

I suggest you also use the Lee Factory Crimp Die. If you haven't already purchased your dies get the Lee 4 die sets. JBowen It has been a long time since I reloaded any I haven't bought any die's yet. What will the 4 die set do for me that the 3 die set wont ? It includes the Factory Crimp Die and ...

Very true!

Very nice, Jim. Very nice gun, very nice grips, very nice scrimshaw, and very nice shooting!

Thanks for sharing.

Yea…order some…Old Savage has a feed store where you send the money to but only thing you get back are empty feed bags. On a serious note, even a feeder with cracked corn will work……don’t know the laws in your state but some prohibit feeding 30-60 days before the season opener…….we feed em but I’m ...

My BIL does it every year….corn and pumpkins….deer love pumpkins…..and of course, a salt lick…….I put a 50 pounder out back about every 6 months and they are on it every day, throughout the spring and summer…. Old Savage puts Acme brand bird seed in his console but sometimes the Wiley Coyote gets i...

I tried a couple name brands and none grew well. I did almost an acre of 'reclaimed land' in clover and it grows great! Nice thing about clover is it regenerates the soil nitrogen levels. I've also tried turnips but not a great producer. I had not thought about clover, even though I am planning to ...

Happy birthday!

For those of you who plant food plots for deer, what do you like? I have not ever planted one before, but now I have the opportunity to. I know purple hull peas, oats, wheat and turnips are some of the old stand-bys in my area. I never have heard anybody bragging about Biologic or any of the blends ...

Very nice! Having them all set up alike makes a lot sense.

Amen!

Jay, I second those grips are very nice! What brand are the American Hickory grips? JBowen I took them off this afternoon to see if they were marked, and all they say is "41". I bought them from a fellow levergunner here... Jason/2ndovc IIRC (which might explain why he likes them too! :lo...

JBowen

Jim, that is some nice groups there. Looks like you have a "keeper" there.

JBowen

JBowen

I have one and it does pretty good after you throw a few charges and keep the cranks the same each time.
For precise rifle loads, I like to set it just shy of the load and trickle the rest. Works pretty fast.

Nice find. Good shooter too.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting these Jim. It is always fun to learn a little more about our hobby and history.

I agree with all of the above. It is just fun having options. When I go hunting I choose the best ammo for both firearms. Usually the lever is a
rifle cartridge.

JBowen

JBowen

YK. those are sweet. I was looking for a carbine when I stumbled onto the rifle. I wish I had had more self-control and waited because the rifle is
heavy with that long octagonal barrel.

JBowen

JBowen

Those are great! I love my Win 92 in 32 WCF. I need to get busy and find a handgun to go with it.

Great combo. I never was lucky enough to get an air pistol to go with my daisy that I still have.

Thanks for the tip. I have never heard of them.

There is a lot of talk on the internet about Winchester customer service not being good, particularly when it comes to bad primers. Well I had a good experience with their customer service. I opened up a new brick of WLR primers back in June and loaded up some starting loads for a new to me Ruger 77...

JBowen

Nice guns Gunny. I don't have any .41s. I never ran across any around here.

Ray Newman-- You know what they say about no pictures! All kiddin' aside, those sound like great forearms.

JBowen

JBowen

Thats pretty neat! Funny how animals are sometimes.
I have been seeing a white tail doe with triplets hanging around the pear tree at my mother in laws place. I think I have only seen triplets
one other time in my life. They have been too leery for me to get a picture of.

Thanks, guys. These will put a smile on your face when out plinking.

I went ahead and got my 38 Specials while I was taking pictures of my 45s. The combo consist of an 1866 Rifle and (2) 1872s Cimarons all in 38 Special only.

These are the ones that got my Lever Madness started back when I started shooting CAS around 2001. WInchester 94 Trails End, (2) Ruger Vaqueros and later and much smoother and faster a Uberti 73. I lightened the springs on the 73 and put Wolf springs in the Vaqueros. The one has Eagle gunfighter gri...

Really nice big bore combo's folks , I had a 76 SBH and was a beautiful sixgun had "Made in the 200 year of American Liberty" stamped on the barrel.But man you couldn't hit a bull in the butt at 10 feet with it. Went through two cylinder pins ,as they would work loose when firing and notc...

JBowen

Nice combos guys. Here is my 44 mag combos. B92 Browning, 94 Win Trapper and a Ruger SBH. Sadly I have not worked out good loads for any of these.
Too many other projects ahead of these. Right now I am working on their big brother, a WInchester BB .444.

Great idea COSteve. That could be adapted to use on a number of things.
Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a fair price. I would like to stumble on to one. They are pretty rare here in my neck of the woods.
I have two of its cousins, Model 100’s. A 308 and a 243.
They are respectable shooters.

Happy birthday!

I would be happy with that if I could find one. I would prefer the stainless, but for that price difference would take one of those. No one around here has any Olde Bear, there are lots of them on Armslist. Maybe you could buy one online and have it shipped to your local dealer? Springfield Missour...

I have been noticing lately that the warnings at the front of some Westerns have " OC--Outdated Cultural Depiction". Why do you think they feel they have to warn us? I think if the younger crowd watched westerns they could learn a thing or three. Maybe seeing how all the blood, sweat and t...

Very nice! I have not been a Marlin fan, but that may change with the new generation.
Thanks for sharing,

Happy birthday, sir!

JBowen

Prayers up for the both of you.

Happy birthday!!

Nice set up Pat. Don't get much better. I pair my R92 .357 20" SRC with a Ruger New Model Flat top 50th Anniversary model 4 5/8". Both carry nice.

Thanks. I do like and use the Lee Factory Crimp Die. I will have to try those out.
