JDL

The shells he had on hand were Spire Points. I did not ask him if he used the RN at all, but I do prefer the RN, it just seems they hit harder!

Bigahh

One of those needs to be in the Cabin !

Got kind of a neat story for anyone I can get to listen so I thought i would try you guys out, here goes. Our Deer camp of 5 guys got lucky enough this year to fill up early on our 11 day vacation. We frequented the local Restaurants for Breakfast, and Coffee every morning. I met a 71 year Old gentl...

Excellent! You have all the Bases covered from Mice to Moose. Very nice Collection.

I have only been a part of 1 animal not really recovered. It was this year. A good friend hit a Big 10 pointer, and he looked all day! I found the animal 1/2 mile away the next day 3/4 eaten by Coyotes. The Deer was hit Right in the shoulder from a 270, and never exited. In my mind the bullet was tu...

Thanks Guys, I will try and get my Favorite rifle Wisconsin Weather Ready!

Bigahh

Steve and Ricky, I will give this a try. I use a cotton swab with Hoppe's 9 on it in the whole area, but not right in the Firing Pin Hole. I will try anything as i love the Gun. Thanks for the suggestions.

IMO, the .356 is too much cartridge for the Marlin's single locking lug, thin sides and barrel threads. The standard SAAMI specs for the .356 Winchester indicate 50,000 PSI. You would have to load the cartridge WAAAAAY down to be safe in a 336. Stick to the cartridges the gun was designed for. I to...

Guys, To make a long story short my BLR in 308 failed me on a 140 class Buck last Saturday. I fired all 4 shells i had in it, and all went click. Firing pin hit, but too small a dent to go off. I let the gun warm up later, and all 4 shells then fired. I set the gun outside for 3 hours, and the same ...

My heart goes out to the family. Wish there was something I could do.

Very Nice!

Continued Prayers! I hope the recovery is Smooth for Both of you.

My 9 day Wisconsin Gun Deer Season opens in 11 days. I am in the process of getting my "Ducks" in order for my 9 day Vacation. I know I cannot bring all the rifles I want, but I want all my Bases covered. I have decided that for the 1st time in my 34 Hunting seasons that the 3 Rifles I am ...

My definition of a Trophy is any animal that the Hunter is Happy with! score means nothing to me. I cannot put any type of number on any animal!

I recently volunteered to take 4 classes of Hunters safety Graduates to the Rifle Range, this happened on 4 different occasions the last 2 weeks. The Graduates were mostly 12 year olds with a surprising 40% Girls. I brought along a 1984 Winchester 30-30, and there were also some single shot 22 Long ...

A very Good, and Interesting read Bruce! I also have learned to adjust to the trigger on my BLR. I love the rifle in every way except I just wish it had a heavier barrel to make the longer freehand shots at Whitetails from my tree stand. I just may look into this if it is a possibility in any way.

Bigahh

Joe,

Selling it seems your logical choice. Good Luck, hope you get the gun you really want from the deal.

Bigahh

In the money spent for odds and ends is part of that used for Beer once you get your Elk?

Have a Great time!

Bigahh

I do not watch a single regular season game, but there is just something about the Hunting season, and Baseball playoffs! I love it. I do not have a favorite team, but Love watching the games!

Bigahh

All depends on how bad you really want the gun!

Been reading that book every night, and just thinking, and dreaming. I called my dad to ask him about it. He told me that in the summer of 1936 he and my Grandfather went gun looking as he called it. He was 11 years old, and he saved enough money to purchase his 1st Gun! They took home that book, an...

Bigahh

Had to think on this one. I would love a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem, one of the older Pre-safety rifles. Just like the one Terry got from Santa last year, that would make my XMAS.

Bigahh

Very Nice! After reading your report I am putting my Model 63 in the case to bring with me to the cabin in the morning. I plan on shooting my 308, and a .22 LR is always a treat to fire while barrels cool. I don't think a person ever has enough 22's!

No Prices, I was hoping for that, but none listed.

It sure is! They tout it as the new Semi-Hammerless Single Shotgun. "Steelbilt, Low in Price, and Hard Shooting, along with a Big Write-up. Heres the page....

Still reading it, and the Model 70 in 3 variants is listed 1st with the model 71 on the very next page. I believe the 71 was introduced in 1936 the year this book was printed. When did the model 70 replace the 54, same year?

Was going through my Dad's Filing Cabinet today looking for his Birth Certificate for him. I did not find it, but what I did find is an absolute Mint 1937 Winchester Rifle-Shotgun-Ammunition Catalog. All the goodies are in there. The 71,65,64,94, and on and on. Heres a picture. The model 70 is liste...

Thanks Guys! I knew you would come through for me.

My cousin uses a C-Pap Machine to sleep. He asked a question that I thought I might be able to find an answer from you guys so here goes...... He has no Electricity at his cabin, too far off the beaten path, and his generator lasts 3 hours, does not like to run a Generator all night anyway. He has a...

Wishing you the best in thoughts, and Prayers! Hope things work out 4 you.

Bigahh

I feel your pain. after more than a year I still feel the pain from the loss of my Dog. Sorry to hear the news.

Bigahh

I simply Love BOTH!, and do not think I could get by without either. I just have to have Rifles set up both ways! I even have a recently purchased Marlin 336 I would love to set up with a Quick Detach mount to use a Peep, and then re-attach the Scope. It would be the best of both worlds!!

Bigahh

Every time I see a "Project" gun at a shop someone scoops it up as I am at home thinking about it. In your case I agree with everyone else! It is good to go, see how it shoots before you do any work to it. If it shoots good, oil it and use it as is. You did very well!

Bigahh

Even though Fall is my favorite time of year, It is always sad to see Summer fade away! It was another Great Summer in my Book. One more Big weekend to enjoy it up here.

Bigahh

The time has finally come to make some ammo for my Grandfathers Winchester Model 64 Carbine. I shot the last of his factory ammo last weekend, and decided to store 3 boxes he bought in the early 70's. Can someone steer me in the right direction. I am thinking IMR 3031 with 170 grain Hornady Bullets,...

Bigahh

If the rifle is new, it could have excessive packing grease in the chamber area, and does need a good cleaning.

Bigahh

Have a good one Joe! Just got home from work, and I am headed out to BBQ some Chicken. I will have a Cold beer just because it's your B-Day! I knew there was a reason to Pop-a-Top.

Bigahh

Tough to beat that price, you did well !

Bigahh

Mike,

Very Interesting to say the least! Would love to be there, and watch. I talked about getting a metal detector some day, and now after seeing what you found may get one real soon! Please update this if you find anything else.

Bigahh

What a Great story, thanks for sharing crs !

Bigahh

Got a Trail Cam Picture of this guy. Looks like it may have a damaged rack early in Velvet, but I am not sure. I will get more pictures of him in the near future as he is in My backyard.

Bigahh

Very Nice! Congrats

Bigahh

I believe Joe hit the nail on the head. I have a 1951 that I wish had a Williams peep on it. It may before summer ends.

All I ever carry are "Case" brand knives. I have all sizes of the fixed blades, and my favorite is the 3 1/2" blade with the handle wrapped in Leather. I have the bigger ones also, but I love the smaller one. They run just under 50 Bucks. You can Google "Case Knives" , and f...

Bigahh

Joe, I have to completely agree with you on not shooting 38's out of a 357. I did the same thing out of my Smith, and it will never happen again. It took a great deal of elbow grease to get it back to where it is now. Low powered 357's are the key as far as I'm concerned. I coated the inside of the ...

Wolverine or Maybe a Mink

Very nice Joe! That Winchester .45 would be an absolute perfect Deer Hunting Gun in my Neck of the woods! Would love to get one just like it some day!
