I would not trade my 24"octagonal barrel .357 Rossi for the world. It points and swings beautifully when tracking fast moving game and the long sight radius is appreciated on the target range or in the field when longer shots present. No matter what Rifle you buy fit a Tang sight, best money I ...

G/Day Peter, I don't live anywhere near Sydney, I'm north of Brisbane but thanks for spreading the word. I must be walking around with my head in the sand as I have never given a moments thought about the SSAA collectors club. I was only thinking a few minutes ago I should use my tax return to get m...

I sold that .22 magnum Marlin 782 bolt rifle back when I was a teenager. Near 30 years later I was looking around in the local gun shop 5 or 6 years ago I guess and low and behold - there it was, much as it was when I sold it - I could not believe it :shock: so I bought it back. Since then the cost ...

Since I bought my .357 Rossi I have hardly put a round out of my .22 mag bolt rifle. Just know I'm refinishing the stock and will probably sell it for a pittance. No use to me owning a rifle I'm not going to use. Shame really as the .22 mag was my first rifle. Guess I got a practical / cheap bone as...

Excellent, over 100 years of an unbroken line. What I like about this, is that it evolved, when a problem presented with handing on the rifle, a bow was substituted

Thanks fella's. My mate received the stock cover I made for him the this afternoon and has offered some good idea's to improve them , refining the loops to better hold rimless cartridges, placing the loops further down the stock cover to get the cartridges away from his face , sewing the locator str...

G/Day folks have not been around much of late, been a bit busy of late making Leather Archery accessories with a view to selling them to help pay for my shooting sports and Hunting trips.

Wal- Mart usally carries this magazine. at 8 bucks a copy :shock: way way over priced!

Went to the SCI in Brisbane yesterday and 2 rifles caught my eye. Mid year is tax return time and I should be buying something similar come early July. First up was a 1874 Sharps replica 50.140 calibre with a brass Malcom style scope- only $5500 :shock: and the next was closer to my budget a Baikal ...

Kinetic energy has little to do with penetration or clean kills though it is part of a complex equasion. Some other factors that are not considered buy the marketing crowd when they are pushing the Kinetic energy myth are way more important. Speed sells, it's sexy and this misconception has grown to...

I said on another forum that had a thread about the new Rossi line up that I sense a lot "American made pride, and there's nothing wrong with that :D :D and a fair degree of Bias against imports :D From my perspective Marlins, Winchesters, Rossi's etc are all imports, they all have there report...

Been using pill to describe a bullet for as long as I can remember. For me it's just another slang word. I'd come close to being the LEAST politicaly correct bloke you'd meet though I am sensitive enough not to inflame anti's I meet at BBQ's.

Bought my 1894 .44 mag 4 or 5 months ago. zero complaints. Nicely polished metal and deeply blued, closely fitted stock and forend, above average figure in the stock and foreand. The timber colour match is pretty close as well. Action was gritty to start with but is smoothing up well. Factory sights...

These fella's have got some pretty impressive results with the .375 Win and 300gr Woodleigh proj, other calibres used to but I was surprised as I thought the .375 is a little light for Buff.

I really can't decide which is more stupid. The cops who go around arresting the kids in photos with knives, or the darned fool kids who knowing they are breaking the law still post photos of themselves doing so. it just goes to show that folks need to be a bit more careful about what they say and ...

I could only get through the first little bit of the video , annoyed me to much , 1st up because I do not get why the young ones see a need to pose in that manner , asking for strife in todays world.

Thanks for the comment fella's . I'm sure the figures I posted are not correct and I am happy as all get out with the performance of my .357 mag . Not looking for more power out it , it has proven perfect for the close hunting I prefer . I just struggle with many of the claims , there is a limit to ...

JohndeFresno , my rifle seems to like medium velocity loads , even 15.3 gr of W296 did not shoot as nice a groups .
