I won one from GUNS magazine back when they were imported by Charles Daly. I never really liked it that much but it only cost me transfer fee and income tax. And it's not eating anything unless I feed it ammo.

44shooter

wow. That is very comparable to 243 or 250-3000 with similar weights.

44shooter

Back around 1959 in Wisconsin I and my dad were deer hunting. I met a local farmer in the woods that missed a big buck and he blamed his rifle, a model 64 in .32 special. My dad bought it from him on the spot, in the woods. We drove him about 3 miles to his house so he could pick up a shotgun to fi...

I'm betting 4166 is similar to 4064 and more appropriate for your loads. Maybe your powder will work well with heavier bullets?

44shooter

Yep, what they said. They catered to the federal and local governments and felt like civilians should be honored to buy anything with a rearing horse on it with the high price to go with it. They have made some great firearms and are a truly historical maker, but IMO they have missed the boat with t...

44shooter

Yes, questions of that nature are rude. You are not geezerly for thinking so, unless I'm a geezer at 44. I was raised in the rural Southeast where rich, poor, middle class, white and black all lived as neighbors. Most people are taught not to pry into a person's assets. I remember being grown and sh...

44shooter

The cop was ready to shoot if warranted. I believe if the suspect would have pulled a weapon, he would have been shot. I believe the cop would have shot him if he pressed the attack after the cop fell. The video is extraordinary in that the cop kept his wits and didn't let excitement or fear take ov...

44shooter

I've known sick or injured dogs go off to heal, sometimes to not return. Dogs are naturally pack animals so they leave when in a weakened state to preserve their status and not get beat up on. Same reason a dog can be in pain and not show it. I've also known of puppies yelping in pain get immediatel...

44shooter

He was brave and used good judgment and self restraint. The guy didn't want to hurt him with his bluff charges and the LEO has his pistol ready if the suspect pulled a weapon or got to him. The cop did the right thing. It's not his job to serve sentence for crimes. Or freak out and smoke everyone th...

44shooter

I know that the writer, Mike Venturino, uses cast bullets in both 38-40 and 40 s&w. Probably what is most important is finding a place on the bullet for a taper crimp while keeping the correct OAL.

44shooter

Guys, consider the source. It's a bogus tabloid website. Just look at the ridiculous stories on the homepage.

44shooter

Wow, way to rain on a man's parade. Maybe 9mm performance is good enough for him. Maybe he just wants a plinker or a self defense carbine. Maybe he has a pallet of 9mm ammo in his garage. It doesn't much interest me, but I might be interested in a trapper 45 ACP. It would have higher round capacity ...

44shooter

I don't think there is any difference as far as strength is concerned. I believe the 338 is made on the 444/1895 frame, which is a 336 with bigger ports for loading and ejecting. Others here will be more certain. I'm telling you what I think I remember reading somewhere.

44shooter

if you are looking through scope with you master eye should work. But people do not see the same though some do not seem to consider that. Exactly, I can generally keep both eyes open with peeps, handgun sights, and scopes of very low magnification. Up the magnification, and my brain bounces betwee...

44shooter

Tell a Cossack he will soon have to switch from Voodka to Jagermeister and watch the fur fly Gross! I would be upset too! MNs are not my favorites but as a historically relevant rifle, I think it has to make the list. And at around $100, why not? If that is too crude, one can get a Remington or Fin...

44shooter

I have an earlier version of the pistol on their website. Not really my cup of tea style wise, but I won it from GUNS magazine. Function has been flawless so far.

44shooter

I have Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel for my snubnose. The difference is the SB bullets have a deeper hollow point to compensate for the lower velocity.

44shooter

The jacket and heavy weight combined with the low velocity, tight bore and long barrel set up the stuck bullet scenario. I prefer soft lead for the real slow movers for that reason. FWIW I have seen an empty quart plastic oil bottle stop a 38 S&W round. Can't believe this was a self defense/poli...

44shooter

Starting over, I might pick a Ruger No 1A Light Sporter with 22" barrel with iron sights and Ruger rings. Put a Leupold 2.5-8X and a Montana Sling on it, and it would be short, handy and capable of anything an 06 has any business doing...which is a lot! But I have two 30-06 bolts: a laminated s...

44shooter

As was said above, a thorough beating with one of his kills might do the trick if he is smart enough. My daddy did it to our dog when I was a boy. He would avert his eyes when a mother hen walked by with her biddies after that. A lot of people would be horrified to read this thread, but wild canids ...

44shooter

I had a medallion come out in the first cylinder full of 44 magnum. Ruger replaced them. They put a new barrel on a rifle I told them I bought used that had been rechambered and bulged at no charge! They have sent me small parts to another rifle I bought used for free. They might not be my first cho...

44shooter

Malumute, I have seen those. They are kind of high and usually sold out. I have read some bad reviews of the aftermarket ones. Your's fit and work OK?

44shooter

So now Beretta, FN, Glock, Para, Remington and Ruger have a presence in the South. Marlins and Winchesters are no longer made in Connecticut. Manufacturing traditions seem to be changing not with just firearms. Of course our textile, furniture and tobacco industries have been decimated, so we need t...

Welcome from the Raleigh area.

44shooter

I have two. One is a 30-06 with an OEM laminated stock I bought new when I was 17. The other is a used short action that Ruger rebarreled and refinished (for free!) when I discovered the original barrel was bulged. It is a 308 now. They are both nice looking but not fancy, pretty accurate, nice hand...

44shooter

Bob, I see you are definately leaning toward a fixed power Leupold. Rest assured that you are making an excellent choice. I use variables but within a given quality level, a fixed power will be more rugged and optically superior (less lenses). I rather have a cheap rifle with an excellent scope than...

44shooter

In most of NC, you can't even shoot foxes. They can only be taken with dogs.

44shooter

I really messed up my reply with answers inserted in Bob's quotes. My apologies.

44shooter

For fun shooting what scope power would allow a guy to see and hit a pop can at what range? How far can you see a can or clay pigeon in decent light? idk. pretty far For load development at 100 yards is 4X enough for reasonable precision? Some folks report good groups with 4X with appropriate targe...

Yes Hobie, that can be done. I was saying the database will be limited though. I just wanted the OP to realize what they can and cannot do.

We had thunderstorms and tornadoes today. Got about 70 degrees.

44shooter

:lol: did you guys expect any less? I just don't get how someone coming to a forum to ask a related question is lazy. If I have a problem with my truck, I go to a F150 forum. I suppose I'm using their wealth of knowledge they built some years of reading and experience, but I am not a truck enthusias...

44shooter

Just be aware that DNA testing is only going to match your genetic markers with those of various ethnic groups. It's not going to be like Roots with individual ancestors named. Truth is the vast majority of us die and are buried or cremated with no viable nucleic acids remaining for testing. DNA tes...

Got down to 9 last night in Raleigh. That broke the previous record low for Jan 7 of 15 degrees. Was about 22 around 1pm today. Supposed to be 65 by the weekend. Average high this time of year is low fifties.

44shooter

I'm 43 and have only owned three. I drive them til they die.

81 Buick Regal-paid $700 in 1989 and drove it four years.
91 Pontiac Grand Prix-sporty but roomy, ate up alternators
01 Ford F150-still drive this one everyday. Thinking of getting a car and extending the life of this really nice truck.

44shooter

Mine gets a little hitchy sometimes with Federal Castcore. That is a very blunt lead bullet. 300 grain JHP and JSP have not been a problem.

Oh and my rifle apparently didn't get the memo that its slow twist can't group heavy bullets.

44shooter

Wow Blaine, you just accused the NRA of writing a coverup piece comparable to the NY Times. Why are you a lifetime member? I just don't know what to say now. But some of the other responses are hilarious! :lol: I'm so concerned about what you think..... :twisted: Bite me..... Just trying to get ins...

With time & $$$, yes. I'll let you know when I have enough of each.

I was just thinking of yanking the carpet and laying down cheap vinyl. Could always upgrade later. I could not deal with carpet in a kitchen. Rather see plywood.

44shooter

I guess if 22 was drying up along with everything else, I might could buy it. But there are plenty of shotshells and centerfire rifle cartridges on the shelves, although at high prices now. The American Rifleman article explains it. Do you think the NRA is lying? Are the ammo companies lying? I'm ha...

44shooter

I'm glad you found some. For "some" reason, the Gubment is buying up .22.....hmmmm Seriously? The government is not buying up .22 LR, the people are. People are hoarding it and speculators are buying it. Eventually demand will fall and supply will resume. If the government were trying to ...

44shooter

I don't think it is about safety at all. It is to limit the number of turkeys killed. They can only be taken with archery or shotguns in NC. Either can kill you dead if mistakenly shot. State wildlife commissions didn't go through a nationwide reintroduction program to have morons spotting a tom in ...

44shooter

My LGS has some T-Bolts stocked in maple. Now those are purdy!

44shooter

I don't take a 308 and a 270 or 25-06 to the range at the same time. A 308 will chamber and fire in either one. That would be bad!

44shooter

You know that can be remedied, right?

I have a Swarovski 7x30 that I've had for about twelve years. They are awesome! Don't think they make this model any more. They cost $600 then. You can't get a Swarovski for any where near that now though.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It is not a holiday but a media and corporate word for the big sales retailers have that day. It's done because the vast majority of the American populace is off that day,have their minds on Christmas shopping, and are not at grandma's eating any more. I f...

44shooter

If that had been a coyote or prairie dog, there would be no talk of him disrespecting the Creator's gift or being in a vehicle. It's pretty clear to me, he is not on a road at all. He did a turn in reverse to get the shot and the deer ran in front of the vehicle...no asphalt, sand or gravel. His con...

Pics please?

Sell it to a collector and buy a modern Featherweight built in SC and put a modern quality scope on it. Or keep it as an investment a while. I can appreciate vintage firearms and have a few. But, never been into vintage optics. Optics are improved upon pretty constantly giving you better glass, coat...
