liked the smaller Uberti roller, but thought a 4.5 lb. 45-70 was just dumb. A couple of you guys said, it might be fun with BP. It ate away at me for almost two months. I went and got it today. I can't wait to play.

Owen

I think Pedersoli, Uberti and Berreta are all the same.

I've been asking about test rifles for my 357 mag. loads. Rossi '92's. Baby rolling block, and such have been on my mind. Now I've taken an interest in the current repro of the Colt Lighting made by Pedersoli. Does anyone have experience in these?

Owen

hightime

Thanks for that, my wife and I both though it was great.

Owen

hightime

Great!! What did he get ya? A levergun? LOL.

hightime

That is very special. Isn't that the model used in Crossfire Trail?

Owen

Good luck on your retirement. I couldn't make it here in Northern , MN. Taxes and heating bills. I went back to work. I found it is way better. Yes, that's what I think. I had little pride in what I was doing. I went back to work building hunting shacks, cabins, saunas. Now I look back at what I've ...

hightime

Some ideas I hadn't thought about. I better go looking.

Owen

hightime

I'm not sure quite what I want. Of course I like levers. I could get a '92 in what, three brands? Armi, Rossi, and Winchester. Or maybe a single shot. I like the idea or a small roller, but as of right now, I can't seem to find one. I might carry it though the woods once and a while too, so I'd like...

hightime

Thanks for the common sense responses.

Any word on the end to lead wheel weights?

Owen

hightime

know there's a lot of warnings, but often they're over stated. Does lead really go air born, seems unlikely?
I try not to over heat and have plenty of ventilation, a good idea anyways, but just wondering. Your thoughts?

Owen

hightime

You need to head up north a couple hundred more miles. Although it's not quite spring here yet. Good grief. Oh wait one of those lakes is thawing out. Boy is it going to be crowded for opener.

Owen

hightime

I made this one. I needed to be able to lift it, but I wanted it to be staple on uneven ground. Thus both table and seat are three legged. I put a blanket over it to shoot.

Owen

hightime

Thanks for the laughs.

hightime

I sent mine back after a year and they gave me a new gun. Both were tight near the chamber then tight near the rear sight. The second rifle was a much better shooter, but I still lapped the tight spots.

Owen

hightime

Like these guys said . if your shots are under a hundred yards on a deer sized target a low power scope will help you find the target faster. The scope will help with old eyes that have trouble focusing on iron sights in low light. I tried the 1.5 power and opted for 2.5. I still use a tang peep if ...

Boy I'm not sure hoarding accounts for the shortage. It seems like my local shops aren't even getting any. How can one hoard if it doesn't come in?

hightime

Oh goodness! I had to do the same thing. It was very hard on me to do it, but "if'' I had to, it would be on the AE 94. I didn't mind the look of the Leatherwood 3/4'' straight tube scope, but alas not too practical. I finally came to the conclusion an old blued Weaver with a straight tube fron...

hightime

So why are .22's so hard to come by?

Owen

hightime

Now I need to relax after that now. LOL

Owen

hightime

Awesome! Some of my favorite guns. I can't afford any, but I sure like them. I buy the Italian replicas
instead.

Owen

hightime

I too sold my only BLR and I don't sell much. It just didn't quite do it for me.

Owen

hightime

S & W Schofield? I prefer the New Model Three Target myself, but that's not so well known.

hightime

Ok.........

hightime

just got the knives as a gift last night, I thought they're so cool to go with some of my other items. What do you think?

Owen

hightime

Thank you for the chance.

Owen

hightime

Thanks for the chuckle. LOL!

I bought my wife a Buffalo Bill Win. 94. 30-30. I was walking though the woods when I jumped a white tail. I up and shot. Not only did I kill the deer, as I walked up to it, I figured I should reload. I already had. That's when I realized what a natural action it is. Having hunted only with bolt act...

hightime

I'd carry my Weatherby Mark XXII, 22 auto. I could eat well on what it will kill.

Oh by the way hi guys, sorry I've been over on the snowmobile sites for the winter.

hightime

Just checking in and wishing you all a happy new year!

owen

hightime

A plan that came together. Ya can't beat that.

Owen

hightime

Good job. It's a very nice deer!

Owen

hightime

Some have said ticks, but I hate deer flies more. Not much on mosquitos either. I was freaked about deer ticks, but thanks to a quick treatment, I'm not too worried anymore. Just ticks give me a crawly feeling. I don't like 'em but deer flies drive me nuts. Deer tick, deer flies, you'd think we had ...

Doxycyline in a pill is amazing. My second daughter got Lymes when she was eight, 1991. No rash, just headaches, sore mussels. When she couldn't walk one day we got a clue. Doc. thought she might have had it for three years. It cost several thousand dollars and 45 days of intravenous treatment, unin...

hightime

If anyone could do it you can. Good job! As you know, I had to use a angle eject and a carry handle, still a lever though.

Owen

hightime

What's your sidearm there? Very nice looking shooting rig you used to harvest that buck. Wise choice and apparently well matched to the task at hand! I carry a Smith and Wesson New model Three Target replica made by Beretta in a 45 Colt. It also is a good shooter and has earned the spot of my numbe...

hightime

Thanks, It's just nice to settle in on a lever gun for my hunt. I've done good in the last few years with my Marlin cowboy 45-70, but it didn't seem like a caliber for a scope. In good light the Marlin is still an option, late day shots were difficult.

hightime

As I've said before, my open sights have been a bit hard for me to use. At least late in the day. I bought a '94 AE, 30-30, so that I could scope it. I got a 1 1/2 power Weaver from days of old. It's working out fine. So far this second weekend of season no big buck , but opening day I did shoot thi...

I have to share this. The oldest grandson is twelve. He's been my side kick all along. He was sitting beside me in my deerstand at nine when I let him shoot a small buck. He's always been up on hunting and quite a know it all about guns. On the down side he is always bragging and puts his younger br...

hightime

Over paid? I don't think so, I'd love to have it for that. Very good find.

Owen

hightime

Thanks. My 30 year old daughter has the same birthday and happy birthday to you JReed, ans Swede71.

Owen

hightime

Nope.

hightime

OK maybe Don is a good guy. It's just that any post about any Sharps that isn't a Montana build, opens up a discussion of why we shouldn't have bought it. This isn't on topic or valued whether not he's right or wrong. It is hurtful and not necessary. Sorry Don, I love ya man, and let's leave it all ...

I'm a contractor. I find that there is a general feeling that metal is better. I'm not sure why. I don't though and would choose those shingles. The new shingles seal down better that ever before and I think they look better. Up here in snow country metal roof may shed it's snow weight and people ar...

hightime

On the lever guns, Do you hold them upside down then to keep the water from dropping into the carrier?

hightime

OK, I shoot BP cartridge, Ped. Sharps 45-120 to be exact. It's an easy clean up, mostly because you can push patches through from the breach to muzzle. Many here promote BP in leverguns, at least in cartridges mean for BP. I've tried it a few times and it's fun, but I'm still concerned about accumul...

hightime

That's pretty cool. I'll be looking for it.

Owen

Sweeeet addition to the herd.

My wife had a beautiful '69 Bronco wagon and misses it dearly. So that made buying this one easy. Wives, always a challenge. I couldn't get another gun, boat, cycle, but a Bronco, yes. Oh I guess I could work on the house , if I want.

hightime

Was it a half cab? The one I just bought was from WY. about fifteen years ago, the garaged in SW. MN since then. It came up on Craigs list for about half of normal price. I got it for $500 more than he was asking at $3,000. No rust on dents , 64,000 miles. I could sell it in a min. for $7,000. or te...
