Easiest way to tell a wolf track from a coyote is that wolf tracks are farther apart, side to side. In other words, coyote tracks are more in a straight, linear line, while wolf tracks have more width.

Was that not the series with the famous quote "No brag, Just Fact..." ?? I can still remember watching it and hearing Will (WB) saying it. Or, am I crazy...??

I've got the .375 Marlin and really like it. If you're lookin' for some decently priced ammo, try here (mine shoots it very well)

Congrats! Excellent performance from rifle, load and hunter, as well. What would you guess the weight at of that hind? KGs or LBs whichever is easiest.
Thanks.

I agree with what you're saying, Malamute. But, a lot of people that go woods tromping don't have a clue when it comes to the difference between a black bear and a grizzly, let alone a bluff charge or real one. And, me personally, will not be carrying a 45 ACP in known bear country. So.... what you...

Stainless/laminated/takedown in .325 WSM, shooting Barnes 200 grain TSX handloads. Good for anything on the continent. Amazingly accurate, despite the trigger. You can't do better for an all-around big game rifle. One of my BLRs is a blue/walnut pistol grip .325WSM. Mine is also a good shooter and ...

The BLR is a fine rifle and I especially like the old steel receiver guns. I think a low powered variable looks the best atop the short BLR action and a 1-4x20 Leupold (on my BLR/.358) or even a 1-3x20 V3 Weaver would make a nice set-up for that rifle. I also think a gloss finish scope looks a bit b...

I know there are still a lot of fans of this modern lever action from Winchester. More than a couple of owners have lost, or are worried about the idea of losing the removable magazine that this rifle uses. I have found a decently priced replacement magazine (repro) listed in Sportsman's Guide's las...

Of the two, I'd go for the 338 because it's the flattest shooting of the two and that's what you're buying it for anyway. In addition, it's a rimmed case developed specifically for a levergun so I'd guess that it would be easier extracting in that action. :?: Not quite sure what you're trying to sa...

I have a Handi rifle that I love to shoot but I was thinking that I'd like to have another single shot .30-30 with a longer barrel. Something like 26" or longer. I was looking at one a long time ago either a rolling block or a low wall but I can't remember where I saw it now. Has anyone seen o...

I had the good luck of finding one of these BLR's in 358 Win with a steel receiver. The serial number makes it 1989 manufacture. I have tested a few loads already and got good accuracy with it with 200 and 250 grain jacketed bullets. I will now be doing some chronograph work soon to find out the ve...

Rebarreling again to .308 should be fairly easy and straightforward. But to miss an opportunity like that to have a M99 in .358.......

I was reading an article about the 6.5X55 once and the writer said that he couldn't find a tree anywhere in his area that was big enough to stop the bullets he fired as they had so much penetration.

You mentioned the use of irons (ultimately) on that rifle and needing to be able to utilize them after removing the scope. In my opinion installing Warne steel bases and Warne Maxima QD rings would be the way to go (others have already mentioned Warnes). I have several sets of Warne rings and have u...

There are surely pros and cons for either type of action, as with most others. A single shot carries the most respect for it's owner when uncased in camp, but almost certainly restricts it's owner to one good shot ( normally works fine). The semi-auto allows for softer recoil and the fastest additio...

I've owned several BLRs in various calibers and still own three, a .358 steel/straight grip, a .450 Marlin/straight grip and a .325WSM/pistol grip. The only ones I'm not a big fan of are the L/A models. I also have a nice 1895 45-70. I know traditionalists hate to hear this but the .450/BLR is a nic...

They're calling it a model 1886/mod 71. Interesting.... I reckon that's how they will sell'em in both .348 and 45-70. Either way she's pretty darn pretty to me!

I recently saw one online, listed by a dealer that had been re-bored/chambered to .375 Win. I was kinda leary about the pressure tho. What thinks you?

edsguns

Perhaps some of the confusion/disagreement on this subject could be caused by information shown on this link to Buffalo Bore's hot loading for the .38-55. It's rated at nearly 2,000 FPS with a 255gr SP bullet and it clearly states that this load is suitable to shoot in.... "any firearm chambere...

edsguns

I'll go ahead and figure that 150 yds will be your max range while hunting. That being said, I really like the additional frontal area that the 38-55 (.375) gives you. Here's a load that should work well for you with both deer and hogs. I have a .375 Win and really like it. Best of luck! http://www...

edsguns

Congratulations on finding a really good load for that .444. My mid 80s .444 shoots very well with the LE 265 FTX grainer also. Those two Hornady loads here are very similar, the LE and LM.

Not trying to hijack the thread here, but I've seen some .308ME models as low as $400. NIB. I like my .375 and .356 Marlins so much with their 20" barrels, I'm considering a $400./.308ME shortened to 20". Comments?

How could I NOT have had a great weekend. Spent both days hunting with temps ranging from 9* to a toasty 23* !! But, one of theose days was spent with my mitts (and mittens..lol) wrapped around a nice 1895/45-70!! No deer rode home with me in my truck, but that's fine too!

Very nice gun! Looks like an early 80s version and their bluing and finish is much nicer than the new ones. I can see from across the room the difference in my 1980s, .375, .356, and .444 compared to a new one. Looks like you got a gem. Good luck with it.
