Y'all $hittin' on this thread with 'dem ugly rifles.

Triggernosis

That PTR-91 is so ugly it doesn't deserve to shoot a wild animal.

An enemy combatant, yes - but I wouldn't be caught in the woods hunting with it.

Triggernosis

I've always wanted one of those Clitoris, but just couldn't fork over the dough for only two shots.

Triggernosis

While I'm not crazy about the aesthetics (they're growing on me a bit), I am excited about the much lighter weight of the MK 3 - almost 1 lb lighter. Regarding accuracy, everyone I have ever heard talk about the BAR's claim much, much better accuracy than 3" at 100 yards. I remember being in a ...

Something seems "off" with that setup.

Triggernosis

What scope and ring setups are you BLR owners using?
I have a new BLR in .243 Win. at Neil Jones's shop getting a trigger job right now and I am looking for a scope for it.
Pictures of your rigs would be much appreciated.

Triggernosis

Yeah, I believe I will just wait this panic out. I'm going to have a hard time paying more for what should be a $500-$600 gun than I would a nice new Browning BLR.

Triggernosis

Thanks, Ray.

Triggernosis

What is this "Hobie's site" y'all are referring to here?

Triggernosis

Thanks for the responses so far, gentlemen. If I'm comparing prices, I'm going to have a difficult time paying more money for a Marlin or Henry than I would for a new Browning BLR. Maybe I should just get me a BLR in something like 7mm-08 and load up some light powder-puff loads for it. Hmmm....this...

Triggernosis

About 10 years ago in a bout of craziness I sold my like new Marlin 1894 in .357. Now I want another one and, of course, they're not to be found anymore.
I do want a side-effect, so the Rossis and Ubertis are out. Is Henry quality worth the price?
What recommendations does the campfire have?

Triggernosis

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. She HAS decided....to let ME pick one for her because she can't make up her mind (a woman, remember...). Anyway, I'm going to pass on the .30-.30 and see what we can come up with in probably 7mm-08 ('cause I kinda want to fiddle with it, too ;-) ). She's s...

Triggernosis

New shooter, lady (small stature?), I'd recommend a compact (i.e. youth model) bolt action 7mm-08, scoped for 250 yard shots. No, it isn't a levergun but to be honest, how many shooters without experience will be anything but frustrated by the .30-30 sans scope sight? Savage makes the best, at the ...

Triggernosis

I've got someone that I've been teaching to shoot that is interested in purchasing her first rifle to hunt deer with (from a stand)..usually over a soybean or corn field with absolute max. distances around 225-250 yards. I've come across a good deal on a used Marlin 336 in .30-.30 that I think may w...

Triggernosis

Which model Yamaha is that, Blaine?

Triggernosis

Just curious, but where does one find old throwaway bowling balls?

Triggernosis

Outstanding! Congrats to him.
I was a West Point cadet, though I didn't graduate from there, and know how excited he is.

Along the lines of of "walks with a gun's" camping tip..... Any time you travel on an airplane, be sure to take a 100' extension cord along. If the plane has engine trouble, just grab the cord and jump out of the plane...the extension cord will undoubtedly snag on some unseen object on the...

Triggernosis

I'm wanting one of the .38/.357 versions, but I wish they had the barrel profile of the .22 version.

Triggernosis

I've been to Camp Bryan myself. Waaaay after Babe Ruth was there, though. What amazes me is why all those rich folks from up north would come down and spend supposed "leisure time" in the wilds of eastern N.C.. I mean, I was born and raised in eastern N.C. and there's not much there but sw...

Triggernosis

I don't collect anything. If it doesn't get hunted with or I don't use it to compete with, it gets sent down the road.

Triggernosis

And check this out: I took a package to the local UPS Store yesterday to mail....it had a pre-paid UPS label already on it, but I hadn't taped the top shut yet - the gal at the counter said it would cost me 75 cents for them to tape it shut. Really!? Yep, "that's the policy if we pack it"....

Hobie, my question is this: As a certified Rifle Instructor I can also become a recruiter just by sending in the paperwork. As a recruiter, you can renew people's annual membership for $25, but, can a recruiter renew his OWN membership for $25? And, can you, Hobie, renew mine for me without me being...

Triggernosis

Samick makes good bows. I've had $750 custom bows in the past and can honestly say that the two Samick's I had shot just as well as any of my custom bows and better than most. That Red Stag is a nice looking one, too.

Triggernosis

If so, I've got a question for you.

Cool! That's what I was hoping to hear. I'm sure it'll all come together once I start pulling the lever on the press....

I already have a case trimmer - I was just hoping there was some way around not having to trim it all to the same length....

I've got some .38 Spec. dies and bullets on order - they haven't arrived yet, but I'm thinking in advance. I'll be using the Lee carbide 4-die set. How do I deal with brass that's not the exact same length? Doesn't that affect the crimp? I've reloaded thousands of rounds of .223 Rem. for my AR15, bu...

What kind of smoker do y'all use? And how long do you have to smoke it?

How do I measure my throat diameter?

Yep, it's the P Jr..

Well, it appears that the consensus is to go with lead. I'm thinking this one should work OK:

What do y'all think?
Powder? Is W-231 O.K.?

Triggernosis

I've got a Cimarron in .38 Spec. and am getting ready to load up a couple hundred rounds that I will be using as an all-around load - game dispatch, defense against critters, and plinking. Which should I shoot, lead or jacketed? I'm thinking either a 158 gr. all-lead SWCHP or a jacketed SJHP..... Th...

Well, heck - now that this thread has reincarnated itself, here's my suggestion:

I've got that one completely under control, at least among 30-some 4-H kids that I instruct.

As an NRA certified rifle instructor, I'm frustrated by the abomination of something that gets under my skin almost daily, that is: the correct pronunciation of "Garand". If I'm not mistaken, it should be properly pronounced "'Gerund", similar to "errand" and not "...

Wanted to go to Texas a few years back to hunt hogs. All the cotton farmers in the panhandle were b****ing about crop damage. Every one I contacted wanted a $100.00 a day to shoot them. Hey, its your problem and you want to charge me to help out? Dont think so. Exactly! That's B.S. for sure. I hunt...

Triggernosis

Thanks for the recommendations, gentlemen - I may have to take out a loan.

Triggernosis

What are some must-have books on the single action revolver? I've got my first single action in-bound to my FFL (Cimarron Model P Jr. in .38 Spec.) and want to learn all there is to know about how to operate it, shoot it, and enjoy it.

Triggernosis

Resurecting this old thread 'cause I'm looking for something for my Cimarron Model P Jr. that is on its way.

Triggernosis

7mm-08 takedown is on my wish list.

Triggernosis

11 oz. in 9mm? That's gonna hurt!

Triggernosis

.30-06, .270, some .308 and lately the .300 Win. Mag. for "beanfield" rifles.
75% of the time, though, it'll likely be a .30-06.

Triggernosis

Well, since the .42 LC doesn't seem to have any advantage at all over the .38 Spec., I'll mark it off my list of considerations and stick with the .38 for that new Cimmaron Model P Jr. I've got my eyes on.
Thanks, gentlemen...and Hobie too for the link.

Triggernosis

How do they compare, in reality?

Triggernosis

So, do you use those ear muffs when you're tumbling brass or what?

Triggernosis

Thanks, Terry. I've been informed that the Cimmaron Model P - Jr. is basically the same gun except it has the plow-handle grip.

Now, which chambering to get - .38 Spec. or .32-20/.32 H&R ? Hmmmm.

Triggernosis

Does anyone have one or have handled one? I've got my eyes on it, but can't find any locally to put my hands on.

Triggernosis

What kind of report or muzzle blast does does .32 Long and .32 H&R Mag. give compared to, say, .38 Spec.?
