I hunted Mon. and Tues. of the PA bear season with my Marlin Guide 45-70 with the XS peep, all without luck - it was probably the first year in 10+ that our gang did not get a bear. We cut some tracks late in the day on Mon. but that was about it. For deer season - I'll be taking 3 guns to camp... m...

AndyM

great pictures and congrats. on the hunt....

AndyM

very cool pics - good luck

AndyM

yes they will.
I have a Puma 92 in 45 colt and can easily exchange Ruger type handloads from the Blackhawk to the rifle with ease.

I hope you enjoy that Marlin...

AndyM

He sure could work a rifle - although I think it is a shame to take all those beautiful Winchester 1892's and chop and cut them all up.

AndyM

yes - in Pennsylvania - and I think it is a wise thing for general deer rifle season...

AndyM

$50 Bucks for a box of 20 loaded shells!!! Boy, am I ever glad I reload my own... I also seen very good results with the Rem 180 Corelocks for whitetails. My dad shoots these and usually gets his deer. I would not hesitate to use them on deer or blackbears. Me - I have become a fan of Hornady Interl...

AndyM

looks like a good time - I look forward to deer camp - like the song says "It's the greatest time of year"

As 1886 says, those triggers are touchy. My 'smith, who is one of the country's premier trigger 'smiths will not touch an 88. Way too complicated and well, its not worth the trouble on a levergun that decently accurate anyway. I suggest cleaning out the barrel real good of any copper fouling, check...

AndyM

very nice...

AndyM

Bump to top, how about on an original 1892 in 32wcf? I'd like a better rear sight, but don't want it to look wrong etc... and have no clue how to "weather it" to match either? Or is drilling always required? That I don't want to do. Jeff Look at the Lyman tang sight - no drilling/tapping ...

AndyM

Welcome.... I would look at the Lyman or Marbles tang sight. I have the Lyman on a few rifles and enjoy using them. The advantage the Marbles has is that they are adjustable for both windage and elevation, whereas the Lyman is only adjustable for elevation. If you think you want or need a hooded fro...

AndyM

My vote is the Winchester 92 action - either Browning and/or Rossi/Puma
I also like the balance of the 18-20" barrel over the 16" or 24" ones...

AndyM

In my varmint load - I settled on Vaget and usually 50 gr. Horn. V-Max or Nosler BT - although this used in a single shot and not an AR.

I also had good luck with H-322

AndyM

very nice - what a buck!

AndyM

VERY nice!

AndyM

Let's see - you have an unused G2 frame and you like the lock-up - sounds to me you know the correct path you should take... I have the org. Contender - in rifle form - in 223. This single shot hase taken its fiar share of goundhogs over the years. I sold off my pistol barrels and only kept the Cont...

AndyM

I have used these in the past with some success as a plinking bullet in my Ruger 45 LC and Puma 1892 in 45 colt.

6 grains of Titegroup with the 250 gr. RNFP and you have a very mild load to plink with.

welcome to the board - I have the combo Winchester 1892 in 32-20 - in fact this was my first 1892 rifle I purchased a while back and since then, the 32-20 has become one of my favorite rounds. I used 2400 with some success. It has not shown as consistent results as some of the other powders I tried,...

Just a follow-up - I ordered 3 new Glock 23 high cap mags yesterday and some rimfire ammo. Also - looked on Gunbroker for an AR-15 stripped lower receiver and it seems we (on this board) are not alone with our thinking that the new Admin. will limit some sales in the future... The price on a plain l...

AndyM

I always seemed to do better with Remington, even before the Handloader article. Winchester, for me, did not seem to last that long.

But this information was "found" by mistake, because I usually buy whatever is cheaper or whatever has the best deal at the time.

AndyM

renewed last night - a check for $35 on the way to the NRA today
I think everyone should join up...

AndyM

that will be a good time-killer

AndyM

good luck and may you heal quickly

AndyM

great story and pics - thanks for sharing...

AndyM

I would look at Green Mountain barrels - they used to carry replacement barrels for T/C muzzeloaders. You scored a good deal - some day I would like to own a traditional caplock muzzleloader and T/C makes a good product... I have a PA Hunter Flintlock - 1 in 66" twist that likes patched roundba...

AndyM

86'r Try removing the barrel band. I agree - I removed the barrel band and purchased an aftermarket bull barrel. Mine is now a tack driver, once you start messing with these guns - it is hard to stop. Soon it will be a bolt buffer, new trigger sear, extended mag release, bolt carrier hold open peic...

AndyM

not this weekend, but soon...
on my list - some high cap. Glock mags, maybe a new AR or Mini-14 and a few dozen mags, a couple more high cap. clips for my 10/22 also.

I am not too worried @ bullets, powder, and brass - yet....

AndyM

Oh Boy - do I have a good comment - But for the sake that this is a family forum - I will restrain myself...

Like many, I have a recent-onset case of the heebie-jeebies as Nov. 4 gets closer. Went to my local shop today and was checking out the EBRs. I have a Citori that I've had since high school that I might be able to part with (I'm more an 870 type of guy, anyway). Hmmmmm...I just don't know. I alread...

nice bronzeback...
I love smallmouth fishing...

AndyM

In your area - what is the average going rate to have a gunsmith cut a rifle barrel down and re-crown it?

thanks...

AndyM

I like shooting irons a lot, but for a serious hunting gun I like a scope for several reasons, not the least of which is the ability to gather light, which can be very important if you're hunting dark timber. +1 one that - I have not yet been able to hunt elk all that much. BUT.... on my eastern wh...

AndyM

I was always told that a 22mag out of a handgun was about equal too a 22 LR out of a rifle.

So it would be interesting if this saying from my childhood is true...

AndyM

nice - both look like they were good deals - I bet you will really like that 44-40

AndyM

great post and pictures - I shoot the T/C shockwave or the Hornady red tip out of my Omega. These seem to just flatten them, when you connect.

AndyM

AndyM

good luck and may God Bless

AndyM

I have had better luck with lower priced Bushnell's than Simmons. I have one of the higher priced Simmons Atec (or something) on my Ruger 77/22 hornet and it fits that rifle very well. I would be looking at the Bushnell Banner series. I also own one of these - a 4-12x on a Contender .223 carbine rfi...

AndyM

I have used 28 grains of 5744 with the 405 grain lead flatpoint with good success in my Pedersoli Sharps. I purchase 20:1 bullets from Mt.Badly Bullets http://www.mtbaldybullets.com/

AndyM

I have always been a big fan of Leupold optics - so I would say their scout scope, although I beleive Burris makes a fine product and at one time had a 2.5x forward eye releif scout scope.

When I dabbled in the whole scout thing - I used a Bushnell 2x pistol scope with good results.

AndyM

Good Job - your first one is always special.

I can't understand why Ruger don't chamber the 96 in .22 Hornet!

+1 - now that is an idea I never really thought of, but if they would, I would trade up on one from my Ruger 77/22 hornet.

AndyM

I own both and feel they both have their roles in my collection. Although - I owned the 22mag before the 32/20.

AndyM

OK - so who is going hunting tommorrow and for what type of game? The fall hunting bug has caught up to me. I for one am going out with my muzzleloader tomorrow morning to see about punching one of my Pennsylvania whitetail doe tags in their early muzzleloader season. It should be a perfect fall day...
