Yes, I've been a huge airgun guy pretty much my whole life. I also had a Daisy 880 and it was a decent gun. Mine had a metal receiver and pump arm. The problem with mine was that the stock became loose and would rock back and forth making it impossible to shoot accurately. Then eventually the seals ...

Yes, I have a few :) But they all work pretty good :D 1951 Sheridan C silver streak https://i.postimg.cc/rsx9d4VJ/IMG-20161018-164954333.jpg 1977 Sheridan C silver streak https://i.postimg.cc/7P0zMC32/IMG-20200111-101914113.jpg 1985 Sheridan C blue streak https://i.postimg.cc/VvJhZW8f/IMG-20160903-1...

Pictured rifle is my 1955 Ballard rifled Marlin 336 RC ‘Texan’ in 35 Remington. The handload used is a 200 grain Sierra with enough H4895 to start it at 2150 fps. https://www.thesixgunjournal.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/20211206_170338-1.jpg Great shot! How do you like those Sierra bullets in th...

Ha, cool. took me a minute. I was trying to make Happy New Year out of the image. Then I said, ok, yellow is 20 gauge and a .22, oh, I get it.

FLINT

Congrats! 327 is a cool round. I bought a 3" 327 SP101 soon after they came out. Mine has a windage adjustable only rear sight and a solid, non fiber optic front sight. Very solid, compact little gun. Mine seems to have a very tight cylinder gap and I definitely didn't notice any problems with ...

FLINT

I guess I'm missing your point. I didn't say anything good, bad or indifferent about either. I have several Winchesters and Marlins of different vintages. A lot has changed in the last twenty years. I bought a Colt Python around 2002 or 03 for $500. Can't get anywhere near that now. Not to say that...

FLINT

yeah, unfortunately I don't load for all of the calibers that I have. I do need primers though to be able to load for anything. It's my fault, I wasn't proactive or prepared. I even thought about it several times from 2017 - 2019. I thought, man, I should really stock up now. But I was hopefull that...

I’m amazed I bought a pre safety 444S this year for $400. Dirty consignment guns can be a real bargain sometimes. Dang! That's a good deal, and is my favorite 444 version. I've always kind of hoped to get one made in 1977 which is my birth year. The days of the $400 Marlin or Winchester are long be...

FLINT

I haven't been in the gun store in a while. Should I bother or is it still pretty grim?

FLINT

I predict the marlins will be offered in limited runs like the no. 1 are. I dont think they intend to compete with henry. I also think its a sad state that a laminated stainless guide gun is the predicted money maker of marlins extensive and highly acclaimed past catalog. Heck i was hoping for a ne...

FLINT

yeah, I was wondering about full power 357 loads in an 1873 rifle. also, about the xtps. I use 300 grain .452 XTPs in my cva optima muzzle loader rifle over 90 grains (measured not weighed) of blackhorn powder. I chrony'd it at 1750 I think and it hits deer like the hammer of thor. I know this is a ...

FLINT

I've had phenomenal success on deer with my marlin and winchester 30-30s, so I imagine they would be pretty devistating on 2 legged critters. I know I sure as heck wouldn't want to get hit with one. the winchester silvertip was my favorite deer round also, until they stopped making them. Then I swit...

FLINT

I currently hunt with a crossbow because my shoulder got too bad to shoot the compound a couple years ago. I also have a recurve that I've had since I was a kid and still shoot it from time. One day I want to take a deer with it.

FLINT

I won't be back up there for a while as it's 5 1/2 hours away from where I live! otherwise I'd go buy the rest of the John Wayne 45 colt and all the John Wayne 30-30 ammo they had!!

The store is in NW PA, so if anyone lives around there I'd be happy to let them know where it is.

FLINT

Hi all, I was driving through the country this week and happened to stop into a little old mom and pop store to get something to drink. I noticed a back room with some fishing supplies so I asked the lady what was in the back room, she said hunting and fishing supplies. So I walked back there and wa...

although maybe I can use this info to keep down the competition in the area that I hunt!!!!

better not hunt this year - might get covid from the deer

FLINT

I also heard about this a month or two ago, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how a deer would get infected with covid. Must be game farms right? When else are humans getting close enough to deer so that an infected person would transmit to deer. It can't be that it's floating around in ...

FLINT

I bought a ruger sp101 3" in 327 as soon as they came out as I was always a fan of the 32H&R and my father before me. He bought an H&R 504 in 32H&R as soon as H&R introduced the gun and cartridge in the 80s. Everyone disses the H&R guns, but that 504 is very accurate! Anyway...

Don't give up on the Savage 99! I got one in 300sav and really like it. Everyone talks about how bad the recoil is from a Sav.99 in 308, but I was shocked at how little recoil my 300sav has. I don't think it has any more recoil than any of my 30-30s. and my 300 has a steel butplate. I can't believe ...

FLINT

I was browsing on Henry's site today and noticed that the rubber recoil pads on the rifles looked really thick. One thing that has always kept me from more seriously considering a Henry is the long length of pull (14"). I prefer 13 1/4" - 13 1/2" LOP, and was thinking that removing th...

go to gunbroker and see what they are selling for

FLINT

Congrats on the 32WS!

I also load for it with IMR 3031 and Hornady 170gr. I got within 40fps of factory winchester ammo with a slightly less than max load of 3031 and had good accuracy.

FLINT

so, what is the statute of limitations?....... (how many years).....

FLINT

Ok, great. Maybe I'll just leave the load as is as long as it is acceptably accurate.

FLINT

Hi all, I'm definitely not TRYING to hot rod. This was my starting load and it was already at 3000fps, and I was just a little confused about why it was that high. I used the LEE load data for 87grain jacketed bullet and 3031 powder. it lists OAL as 2.450. and says velocity for 34 grains should be 3...

FLINT

Hi all. I FINALLY got a chance to shoot the 250 savage 99 I picked up last year. I had loaded up some 87 grain sierras over 32-34gr. 3031 powder in 1/2 gr. increments. However, I never made it past 32 grains because the chrony read an average of 2984 for 8 rounds - which I'm pretty sure is supposed ...

I thought that some "colds" were coronaviruses. seems like I read that some people have even been experiencing some amount of 'immunity' to covid if they had recently recovered from a similar coronavirus cold.

FLINT

Yes, the RWS 48 is a really great gun. Its the only springer that I recommend to anyone wanting to get started with airguns. Very accurate, very powerful (but very heavy). Although actually there are a couple german beeman/weihrauch models that would be awesome as well.

FLINT

With the cost of ammo going nuts, when the grandkids or others want to shoot, I'll probably get out the 177 piston air rifle and we can use that more . . . what is the best weight pellet in that caliber for that type rifle, in terms of practical accuracy and potential use for small game...??? I'm a...

Sounds like you haven't bought a gun in a while. Seems like most remotely desirable guns, new or used are at least a grand now. I also never thought I would pay that much for a gun. Until I did.

years ago I used a clamp/bracket piece from a clamp light to attach a flashlight to a gun. the clamp light I'm talking about is the thing that we always used to use for working on cars - you know with the aluminum light cover and the plastic coated wire clamp - also kind of like is used to incubate ...

I know they made a receiver sight for it. I can take a picture of the one I have and you could probably find one on eBay.

Nice job and nice buck! I saw a very similar half rack buck a few weeks ago, but I had already killed an 8pt during muzzle loader season and we are only allowed two bucks west of the blue ridge and my policy is that my second buck has to be bigger than my first one, so I gave him a pass.
