No FFL required. It is strictly a confidence thing. Hard to believe but now I have two completely trustworthy guys helping me out. Thanks guys. I am going to negotiate in confidence with him now. Thanks, Tom.

How far of a drive would he need to make in order to bring the scope to you?? Tom.

How close are you to "Flower Mound"?? All I am really looking for is a trusty face in the transaction. I am pretty sure the guy is reputable. He said he has a real estate business in the area, and he has been in business for 18 years. It is just hard to trust someone you do not know, and w...

I need a little help from someone in the Flower Mound, TX area. It is supposed to be 7 miles North of the DFW Airport. I want to buy a S&B scope from a fellow who lives in that area. But he only has a forum count of 8. So I am a bit scared to plunk down S&B money with an unknow. I wolud like...

I hope the dog didn't get hurt. But it would not have bothered me a bit if the doe had kicked the stuff out of the pet owners. I can not believe people are so stupid as to allow their pets so close to a wild animal with young. It just amazes me how stupid people can be Tom.

Fantastic picture. What an opportunity for a professional photographer with a zoom camera. Those would have really been great pictures. But thanks, I really enjoyed your picture. You should have climbed up there and petted him?? Tom.

I had an H&R officer's model. And I regret selling it. It as a nice rifle. It had decent sights and was a decent shooter. I wish I had it back. I made a god bit of money when I sold it. but as I said I regret it now. The one part about the rifle that I could never understand was why it came with...

Ben I am a handicapped hunter so I have to hunt off my Kawasaki Mule. I bought a large camo net(like the ones you see on artillery pieces) that covers my Mule, and I always hunt with a friend. I bought a FoxPro FX-3. I place it about 20 to 30 yards from a tree that I suspect or know is a den tree. I...

That 9410 has a strange track record. They seem to be sought after now, and are bringing some ridiculous prices. But I remember when they came out you could not give them away. Nobody wanted them. I think the intrigue is just that they only made so many of them, but they seem to sell pretty well now...

We started calling raccoons, and it is a fun thing to do. The action is fast, and furious, and there are a bunch of them out there. We are also calling in coyotes and foxes in a woods setting. Along with anything else that will come in. I am wanting to get a lever action to hunt with when calling in...

These guys are suppose to be the experts. The cream of the crop. Not unprepared ninnies. And they did shoot those very same rifles the day before at the range to sight them in. I was hoping to see some real professional shooters do some amazing things. Not some ninnie missing a target 30 times off s...

What a complete joke. I made it through the first 30 minutes before I switched it off. A marksman who can not hit a large target off sand bags at 100 yards?? Should have been off hand shooting. And watching that stupid woman trying to use a spotting scope. And the guy who was in the Army and missed ...

I have always wondered whose idea it was to put that high gloss finish on the Browning and Winchester modern rifles. I bought my 1886 Ultra Light High Grade and did exactly what you did. I had a gunsmith remove that high gloss finish and apply an oil finish. In my opinion it looks and feels 10 times...

That is about $1.35 a pound. That sounds a little high to me. But it is a business. Did you look on E-bay?? I have scrounged around and picked up a lot of good lead. Normally from what I have heard the going junk yard price for pure lead in the bin is about .35 to .45 a pound. I guess if I couldn't ...

I am sure this has been covered before, but here goes. Can you shoot a 2-1/2" 410 shotgun shell in a 45-70 rifle?? I would guess that you would have to load it single shot only in a lever action. And my main use would be in an 1885, but I was just wondering if there is something to this?? I hav...

I hope it shoots well for you. Should be a dandy in those FL thickets. Tom.

Ball ammo is what those of us who shoot mil surps used to be able to buy for cheep, but can't find much of any more. I used to buy 303 British military ball surplus for 3¢ to 7¢ per round. Now I can't find it at all. Joe The worst part about that is now it is $.60 to $1.00 or so for a shot. And it ...

I shoot 4.0 grains of Red Dot with a .457 round ball. And I drop it back to 3.0 grains of Red Dot for a perfectly quite load. You can hear the hammer drop. 4.0 grains gives very little noise but better accuracy to 40 or 50 yards. I tried the .454's, but they did not group nearly as well as the .457'...

I enjoy shooting a rifle with open sights. I think it is just like any thing else. If you make up your mind to do it, and practice. then it is no problem. I had a buddy who said you could not shoot with open sights. then I took him up to Camp Perry to watch a few of the "experts". Man did ...

30-30 ammo is relatively cheap(ya right). Or it was a few years ago. I would buy 3 or 4 different boxes and see which one shoots the best. I have heard a few guys say they really like the Federal Fusion. However I have never shot any. But then I reload my ammo. I would shoot whatever is the most acc...

I do not know where you guys find these old pictures at. But I would like to say thank you. I really enjoy looking at them. I sure do wish I had some older pictures of my dad in photos like that. As well as other members of the family. Tom.

I thought the same thing you did, until I saw a Low Wall in 260 Remington. I will admit I really like the idea of a Low Wall in 260. Tom.

A firearm never entered my mind. When your thread said "wal hanger" I thought you were talking about an animal mount. I guess us hill billes are backwards, around here wall hanger means a big buck. Tom.

Besides the dead were already disturbed when they stripped all the upper part away during salvage. Photos of the under water damage is not any form of disturbance. No more so than going t...

Personally I hope there are no under water pictures of the mighty Arizona. All those men deserve to lay in peace. Not bothered by photographers. The bell for the West Virginia is memorialized on the campus of WVU. And they have a great honor guard and service every year. Our country still gets a few...

I wish Marlin would put a bolt cover like that on all their rifles. That is the only thing I do not like about the Marlin's. They make you look at that unsightly bolt. Was it for sale?? Tom.

HEAD0001

We do some butchering. But we never split it in the front vs. the rear half. We cut it straight down the middle and cut the beef exactly in half. That way when we split a beef both persons get the exact same thing. So then I guess it just depends on whether the steer was right or left hoofed(handed)...

I just saw where the Grand Ole Oprey Hotel got flooded. Man that water must have been high. I wonder how the General Jackson faired?? Tom.

You did not let us know what action type of rifle you wanted to use. That would be an important part of the decision. Lately I have been doing a lot of reading about the 30-40 Krag. And it is actually a remarkable cartridge. I am wanting one in a TC Encore. And the 30-40 Krag has some advantages in ...

HEAD0001

If I go with the 30-40 Krag I will probably go with the 30-40 Krag Ackley Improved. It is suppose to be one of the better cartridges that Ackley improved. From what I can find it is suppose to be from a 5%-10% gain in velocities. And it is suppose to be fantastic for case life. I realize there is no...

Hobie I agree with you. I was just curious what people thought about cast boolit usage in these chamberings. I am wanting to buy a new rifle and I am just looking at different cartridges. So far I have been studying the 38-55 and the 375 Winchester. But the 30-40 Krag and 307 Winchester are also lea...

Just looking for a direct comparison between the 30-40 Krag and the 307 Winchester cartridge?? What do you guys think about these two?? Main usage will be as a deer hunting and general fun shooting.

I have an Encore in 30 Carbine that I gave to my girl friend to shoot and hunt with. And she loves it. No recoil what so ever. I load the Sierra 130 grain bullet that they designed for the 30-30 non-lever rifles. The bullet does a great job on deer. She is deadly with that rifle. If you are within 1...

I really like my Marlin rifles. And I like Marlin rifles in general. I just wish they would put some sort of side plate on the receiver to cover up that bolt. IMO that is what really makes the 1894 a sharp looking rifle. And I know they can do it because the old 30-30 had the side plate(or ejection ...

It was not so much a question of what for?? I was just curious. I have heard so many people say that the 375 cartridge was a 100 yard or less cartridge. And with performance like that---well it is well over a 100 yard cartridge. Heck I shoot my 30-06 with a 200 grain bullet at 2450, and it is a dead...

Take a look at the Ruger V-Notch rear sight that you can buy as an option for the adjustable rear sights. Then you can get a large white front bead if you want.

Do you think the Marlin 218 Bee is a better rifle than the Browning 65?? I realize it would be easier to mount a scope on the Marlin, but I doubt that I would ever scope a lever action rifle.

Pete that sounds like a deadly bullet. Do you think you are getting about 1700 or 1800 fps?? Tom.

This is going to be an Encore rifle. As I said I am open to ideas. For instance someone mentioned the 35 Remington. but did not talk about the types of cast bullets and loads that they used. I am looking for specifics. So help me out with specifics. My only priority is that it is a rimmed cartridge....
