A friend sent me this retweet of a Jefferson County Sheriff asking the good folks of Colorado NOT to feed wild Moose PIZZA!!

Seriously, some idiot walked up to a wild moose and tried to pet it and feed it pizza??? I'm loosing my faith in humanity.

I see it as a means to and end. I'm not a great experimenter. I find a load that does well for a firearm and tend to stick with it. Sometimes they even work well in more than one. I'd rather spend time shooting than experimenting. The advent of reliable progressive loaders were a blessing to me. Oh...

So, I ended up with a 40 cal carbine whether I really wanted it or not so I figured I'd make up some handloads for it just to see how they work. I am going for full power loads as I'm interested in how far out there different loads will carry with decent drop when sighted in at 100yds. I'm not expec...

Maybe I’m wrong ( :o ) but it sure seems like a levergun in 32-20, 327 Federal, 357 Mag, 38-40, 44-40, 41 Mag, 44 Mag, 45 Colt, 454 Casull, 460 S&W, or even 500 S&W will add much to the cartridge’s performance versus the revolver; not just accuracy due to the shoulder stock, but it seems the veloci...

Never. Not a chance. I don't loan stuff and I don't borrow either. This. The liability one incurs with loaning out something is huge. The only time anyone uses my firearms is when I'm with them sharing. I don't loan anyone anything because it's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Consider this. The car is...

My understanding is that the current death toll is over 150 with thousands of injured and up to 100,000 homeless. In addition, the blast and shock wave caused damage to the presidential palace 7 km away and also the airport some 8 km away! Some say that the blast was the equivalent of a 1 kiloton nu...

Hey Steve, with all that money you saved you could get another Leveraction......... :mrgreen: Funny you should mention that.

1st, the AARP is a super liberal, left wing leaning organization that backs all the 'lefty' causes, not just the anti-gun ones.

I considered a new style Ruger PC40 Carbine for a while earlier this summer as I was cleaning up some storage in the basement and happened to find a stash of 40s&w brass that I'd forgotten about . . . some 14,000 pieces of true once fired as it came from our company guards at our range and I'd picke...

I was thinking that there's something a little strange about just how many pictures there are of the event. It's almost like someone knew it was going to happen.

Nope, it's the video everything age. Fire in a building and everyone gets out their phones and films it.

We need PICTURES ....!!!!! Per your request. Got the sight in yesterday afternoon via our 'Rusty' USPS . . . :| After fitting the insert and installing the sight, it's solid and all set to get sighted in.

Well heck!! Mail came today and no sight. Steve mailed it Tuesday and their mail guys said 2-3 days from Texas to Denver so I figured to give it an extra day or two and assume Saturday I'd get it.

I took off the rear sight this morning in anticipation of receiving the bolt sight today and low and behold the barrel was d&t under the sight. Interesting in that the 20" carbine is d&t for a rail or optic but the 24" rifle wasn't even though both were manufactured in late 2008. Oh well, I had some...

As a previous small business owner myself, I agree with both of you. However, it was a nice gesture all the same and one he didn't have to do.

It sure has me thinking about one of my suggested 20" Walnut stocked, Casehardened receiver with side loading gate, round barreled, carbine in .45 Colt. As it could take stouter loads than my Ubertis, I figure it would be a great hog and deer gun as well as a fun plinker. :D Besides, can you ever ha...

Grizz, I couldn't agree more.

In my other post, "Anthony Imperato, More than Just Hinting . . . ." I relayed the answer Mr. Imperato provided. I thought that was good news and shared it with you here. Well, I have some more news.

Shipping tomorrow and should be here by the end of the week. :) Now I'm really looking forward to shooting my carbine more.

Thanks for the info Nate. My Rossi carbine is a late 2008 manufacture I got NIB in early 2009 and I looked under the rear sight and don't think mine is d&t.

I already replaced the front sight with a 1/16" brass bead back when I first got it along with slicking up the action and trigger so the small aperture clearing up the sight picture should give me a fightin chance at those pesky pins out there at 200.

Well, I finally got off my duff and decided that my .357 Rossi 20" Carbine, while just great, needed me to admit that the rear sight is just too far from these old eyes to be of practical use to me anymore. So, I took the .040" aperture from the tang I have on my .357 Rossi 24" Rifle and taped it in...

I have both as well. Both my 24" Rossi and Uberti rifles have octagon barrels and it's great for longer range shooting, however, in a 20" or 16" barrel length, the lighter weight of the round barrel just makes more sense to me.

While I'm not a fan of tactical lever actions, I see some value in Henry's Big Boy X Model. Not for what it is, but for what direction Henry could proceed with the basic action/barrel combination.

Not much a ‘pistol caliber levergun’ in 357 Mag, 44 Mag, or 45 Colt can’t do, and combined with a CCW/hunting handgun you cover all but rhinos and air assaults. Well said Doc.

I agree, the .357 Mag round is so, so much more versitle than a 9mm. You have loads from mouse fart 90grn up to thumping 200grn and everything in between. In addition, in a carbine or rifle length barrel, the velocity increases are in the 400-500fps range vs under 200fps for the 9mm. Again, I'm not ...
