Welcome Pete. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the available pistiol caliber rifles, and 38sp/357mag is my number one choice.

I was born in Illinois can I stay too?

Nath, my part of the midwest (Indiana) has some pretty dreary winters. Today is a perfect example, light snow on the ground, cloudy to partly cloudy with a high temp of 27 degrees ( F of course ). Yesterday we had a freezing drizzle that turned to a light snow overnight but not enough to really cove...

JReed,top of the mornin to you. I know these discussions turn into a Chevy vs Ford type thing, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Accutrigger Savage if I was shopping for a bolt gun (I'm currently shopping for a Blackhawk in 357). A month ago I was contemplating a Savage in 308, but I came acros...

nemhed

Good lesson there, thanks for sharing, and I'm glad the only thing hurt was your pride.

nemhed

Okay, I'm going to let my Winchester ignorance show. How does the 64 differ from the 94? Okay, there, I said it.

nemhed

My Dad passed all most 5 years ago. My mom just gave me his old Argus C-3 35mm camera which he probably bought in the fifties. Just looking at it makes my heart ache. I'm going to try fixing it up and start using it.

nemhed

Joe, I appreciated your story and your troubleshooting techniques. Sometimes you never can tell which direction these threads are going to take.

nemhed

I like Mila's kukris. And no that's not dirty.

nemhed

Attitudes are contagious, whether positive or negative. I've seen these forums go in cycles, usually they come back around to being a positive experience for most of the members. I think that will happen here. I personally try not to pay much attention to the political posts. It is hard sometimes to...

Tuesday night my friend shot me 13 rabbits through the head out of my 4x4 using his 22 and my Rem cyclone ammo, they shot well (ammo and Rob) pulling a couple off at 60 odd yards.

Nath, that sounds like some good old fashioned redneck fun.

I always love your stories, keep them coming.

Doug

JReed , at least their story is being told and hasn't been forgotten, and thank you for your service to our country!

nemhed

No doubt that is a sweet rifle. Even if you don't know it's past, just imagining the adventures it's been on will make future adventures that much sweeter. I hope you get to pass on a lot of great stories with it.

nemhed

Just adding my 2 cents. I've been hunting with a levergun for about 30 years (I got my 39a when I was 12). I've been hunting with a scope for about 29 years. I didn't take me long to figure out that if I wanted to use the accuracy potential of my 39a, I needed a scope on it. I've deer hunted here in...

nemhed

JReed, my only point was the guy completly missed the irony of what I was trying to say. He is the "nothing less than a 300 win mag" type of guy who also can't undersand how anyone could kill a deer with a traditional bow, which is what I use. Most people don't get my sarcasm anyway, just ...

nemhed

I had a conversation with a guy who told me .357 mag wasn't enough gun for deer. So I asked if his compound bow was enough gun to kill a deer. He said that was different.

nemhed

Holy cow, what's the length of pull on that stock, that thing sure looks tiny but sweet. Sorry I don't have any information.

nemhed

I don't know, I think Jeff looks bored holding all those guns at the Shot Show.

nemhed

I hear what you guys are saying, but is a scout truly faster than a standard scope set up. I'm wondering if the speed in getting on target is just a function of the low (relative to most scopes) power and the target being in the same focal plane (is this the correct term?) as the reticle (which is n...

nemhed

Right now, mine should be: 444-357-4570

nemhed

I would like the opinion of those who have the scout scope set up on any of their rifles, and why you went with it. I would also the opinion of those who have tried a scout scope but decided against. I'm already aware that some feel it is blasphemy to put a scope on a levergun. I recently checked ou...

nemhed

johnly, am I missing a picture here?

nemhed

That was awesome, I read that entire speech, thanks for sharing.

nemhed

All I can say is WOW, not your average 336!

nemhed

I got my Marlin because it is now legal to hunt deer in Indiana with pistol caliber rifles (ie 357mag,44mag,45lc,454, and 500sw). I went with the 357 because it does more of what I want. The ammo is cheaper, whether reloading or factory. The 357 isn't overkill on small game and varmints, but will st...

nemhed

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm going to do when I get home.

nemhed

Welcome, to the forum. This subject has been batted around a lot here. My short answer is the 357 in a Marlin 1894. It does everything I want, at a reasonable cost.

nemhed

I won't argue the points brought up so far. One isuue I have with the current political process is that as an Indiana resident, I won't get to vote in the primary until May 6th. The rest of the country will already have selected the candidates from both parties.

nemhed

Oh, I get it now! No one is going to force this communist red square stuff down my throat anymore!

Well, maybe just a couple more tries to break 25 seconds.

nemhed

Nath, my prayers go out for him and his family.

Doug

nemhed

My prayers go out for your family, I'm not a horse person, but I know what it has been like for my family to lose a couple of dogs that were long time members of the family.

nemhed

If a person truly is a Christian then their political beliefs or platform have to be an extention of their faith, not something separate from it. Abuse of authority "is what it is", a plain and simple example of human nature, just like greed and lust, not an example of Christian faith.

nemhed

After about a dozen attempts I made 21 seconds.

Right after that I made it 5 seconds.

nemhed

I'm voting I-80.

JReed et al, I used Fusion Satin River Rock as my base coat, then "splattered" it heavily with with the flat khaki, then added layers and shading with the flat brown and OD green. I was trying to duplicate the NaturalGear SCII camo I use. it fits in very well with winter foliage here in In...

Am I the only dude here who has no intention of watching the Superbowl?

nemhed

I'm with JReed, I've been ignoring these things all this time, maybe I'll go check them out a little closer.

nemhed

Doesn't someone make what amounts to a trigger blocking safety for these things? I always imagined Russian soldiers never bothering with the safety. I read an article a few months back about the Finns using Mosin-Nagant based sniper rifles up through the 80s and 90s.

nemhed

The LCP looks like a much more refined Keltec. My buddy has a P380, that I've shot. I just couldn't get myself to spend $220 on one even though they do exactly what they are designed to do. I bought a used Detective Special for the same price and purpose although it weighs 3x as much. The SR9 I coul...

This was no store , the individual had everything for sale; jeep, hunting gear, tree stands, bow, guns. He placed an ad on a local free internet want ad site and everything was gone in less than 24 hrs. I was fortunate in that he lives close to where I work and I went over on my lunch hour with cash...

nemhed

Pricecw, Nice work! You've really made quite a transformation on that old Russian. I'd like to see a close up of the work you did on the bolt. I think the learning experience will be worth a lot more in the long run than any collectors value. I would like to hear a range report, maybe then I could j...

nemhed

You have my prayers for the whole family!

nemhed

Prayers are being sent for Elliot and his parents!

nemhed

He might also be an Australian Shepherd/ Blue Heeler cross which they sometimes call a Texas Heeler. That's what we've got, she's pretty dark kind of like ol' Skidboot there.

nemhed

Nath, if I can just shoot two coyotes, one with each rifle, the whole purchase will be justified. Yea, I know I'd did alright.

nemhed

I just picked up the two of these in a package deal for $440, including hard plastic locking case. The top is an early nineties 45-70, the bottom is a 1989 444ss. They both appear to be unfired. Did I do okay?

nemhed

Just remember, no one is looking out for your best interest except you. Your agent is working for him or herself. The inspection is a tool to use as leverage for negotiations with the seller, or as a justification to back out of the deal, or finally as justification for the purchase. Best wishes on ...

My apologies Hagler and everyone, I'll keep my internet mouth shut.

Mr. Murbach why are you shouting?

For daily travel on my motorcycle, I use a sling bag (single shoulder strap). It has a 1" strap that goes around the waist to keep it stable. This seems to be a good solution for me, I don't need to carry a lot of weight ( items similar to what you've described including a cover for my bike) an...
