Europe still has a ton of cabovers on the road. In fact, you will seldom see a conventional. As many have stated, the conventionals do hold up better and the primary reason Europe holds to the cabovers is they have a better turning radius for city driving. I could drive around the circumference of ...

Length laws are more complicated than that. Another reason is that there are now what's called "bridge laws" that go along with your weight. You can have a gross weight of 80,000 but only if your wheel base is long enough to carry the 80,000. There are formulas to give you what wheel base...

It's nt to bad right here in S E Oklahoma. There are times I wish I was in bigger country with a wider variety of game hunting. As far as cheap living, decent gusn laws, etc it just not to bad here.

Well folks, here is an update. I rolled into Poplar Bluff, Missouri yesterday afternoon and had time to kill.

I do my hunting with a Kenworth T600. After six years of driving my tally is one coyote in Kansas, several squirrels, a redtail hawk in South Carolina, a dozen other flying critter birds, couple dozen wabbits and I think one shrew.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, should get a "bean shooter"/wristrocket and use it as much as humanly possible. If you can't get as good as that old guy in the video, then get 1/2 as good... that's plenty good to kill small game and other critters as necessary... I could practice all day e...

What about a Marlin 1894C? Would be a lot easier to come by than the CB. This was my first choice for a lever/revolver combo since I enjoy shooting the .357. I'm unable to locate one though. So far I'm leaning towards the Marlin 1894... though I can pick up a new .45-70 from my local gun shop. Of c...

As some of you know as a newb to the levergun scene I purchased a Marlin 336W .30-30 not long ago. Some of you said that I'd be looking for another eventually.

Yup. Several hundred at a time to be exact while going through M60 training at Camp Bullis outside of San Antonia back in '83. With ten or so M60s firing at once we somehow managed to set the wet grass on fire a few thousand feet down the range. Guess it was all those tracers.

For Europe as a whole, about 200,000 people die from excess heat each year. However, about 1.5 million Europeans die annually from excess cold. That is more than seven times the total number of heat deaths. Just in the past decade, Europe has lost about 15 million people to the cold, more than 400 ...

As a newbie levergunner gaining interest in reloading, I'm intriqued by the process of loading with simple tools (though I'm still looking at more modern techniques). With that preface, here are my dumb newbie questions: 1 - can this be done in .30-30? 2 - are these tools available in this modern er...

Good advice so far from everyone. I started with the RCBS kit and went up from there. One thing you've probably told yourself to get started in reloading is "I'll save money in the long run!".....HA..... :lol: this is a lie..!, don't believe it. Reloading is a never ending hole that sucks...
