Very nice Jason. It's a shame that We can hunt in Ohio with any straight walled cartridge but the 30-30 is just toooo much gun.

I'm not a Coot....I'm a COG .Certified OLD Geezer. I showed up here in 2000, then when they re-did the forum All had to sign up again . I have Marlins in many calibers and haven't had trouble getting decent groups.

I have two 45-70's . A Marlin for Deer Hunting and an 86/71 to use for weight training. It's good to know It will take anything in Ohio including the Zoo.

Pat, You could contact our member "Coyote Nose" . I believe He is a retired machinist and He has built and repaired many classic Guns including a '76 in 45-60. I had some dealings with Him several years ago . He may be able to help. Keep us informed.

I looked around and found this From John I had read years ago . " I have personally taken about 10 antelope and 1 mule deer with a .45 Colt. My wife has taken around 6 antelope and 5 mule deer with her .45 Colt. She uses a 4 3/4" Seville and the handload is a 260 Keith cast at 900 fps. Thi...

After seeing Earmick's post about the shingles I have to ask this question. This year the Wife and I went to South Carolina the week of Easter and had a Great vacation . Came back to Ohio cold and rain and on May 7th we came down with covid. The Wife wasn't too sick but I was near going to the E.R. ...

I'd like to hear that Walt. The big news around here was a Black Bear Sunday down the street .

.45colt

Wow, that is off the hook with the Cool Factor!

. How is the bore?

.45colt

Sarge, When it worked the double action was fast and smooth, the grips fit great. I don't expect much out of an inexpensive gun. but it has to be reliable. This is one I would take to the river and very well may have gotten dunked along with Me.

I Too am glad they took care of the problem. A few years ago I bought one of Charters .22 revolvers to have a lightweight gun to pack in My fishing gear. It was for a short time terrific and I was very Happy. around 300 rounds it started to misfire and I returned it under warranty. They had it quite...

In '76 I was 22 and totally Nuts. I bought a 3200 skeet gun for $550.00. My Family was

. That gun was for Me a machine and I shot it so much that targets looked like the lid of a Garbage can. I even did pretty well at international skeet with it. To be Young again with out a care.!

Every time I See Walnut like that I'm transported back to the local Gun Club in the 70's & 80's . A new Wingmaster Field Gun was around $225.00 and TB Trap guns weren't too much more. about every week some Shooter would order an 870 Trap or an 1100 . A small group usually gathered around for the...

I bought My Marlin CL 32-20 in '07 after Kirk D from Canada posted here about the round. Starline has 1000pcs of brass for $246.50. The 32-20 and 45-70 will do anything I could ask for in Ohio. They would be the last I would ever sell.

.45colt

That's Terrific !! Love the Marlins. Good Shooting.

.45colt

Some dealers are going to make a killing on that sale....50-95,45-75, more than 20k pieces of .33 Win. Like a Treasure.

I have had a Love affair with Air guns most of My life. The .20 caliber Sheridan I bought for $37.00 when I was fourteen is still shooting well. during covid I got a RWS 350 Mag in .22 caliber . the .177 are too small for My hands and I would surely need a pellet pen. I shoot mostly Crossman .22 pel...

That's a Great picture Walt. Nothing like the views out West. I'll be happy if We don't get any snow here for the next year. Thanksgiving weekend N/E Ohio got 4-6' of snow , the roads were closed and at 71 I could find no fun in it at all. hundreds of barns,pole buildings and sheds collapsed under t...

Iikocher, I get it , In Your Shoes ( and I've been there ) in the 1854 the .44 mag is the winner all day long .ammo can be found just about anywhere and if You reload brass is cheap and easy to get. Good Luck.

Grizz, I don't know about the twist in the barrel.....but here is some results................https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voMrfb2Q8DY&t=86s

.45colt

If the 1854 could handle the bigger magnums I would think they would have all ready have done it. You Look like a young Man so why not Go For it and Go Big.? Here is a reasonable Spike Driver. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/big-horn-armory/big-horn-armory-lever-action-...
