A JD Machine lower, Rock River trigger assembly and A2 stock. The upper is also from RRA with one of their 24" varmint barrels and a Wylde chamber. The rings you see in this photo are too low, so I have a Burris 1-piece mount/rings on order from SWFA.COM. My initial tests last weekend with som...

LSI Puma made a 92 in 480 Ruger. I have one. I figured that it wouldn't be a big seller so I got one before they were discontinued. I had enquired about opening the chamber up to take the 475 Linebaugh. I think the cartridge was too long. Now if you trimmed the 475 Linebaugh down to the same length ...

Timely topic. I bought a Winchester Featherweight Deluxe in 270 and I have a spare Leupy 2.5x8 VXIII. It was my first choice as I already have it. I will be hunting in timber but may be shooting across some clear cuts that may be 200-300 yds wide. But I think a Leupy 1.5x4 with a illuminated reticle...

When I held one of the Lipseys 44 spl Flattops I found that it weighed about the same as my SBH. The Ruger website lists both the 44 spl Blackhawk with a steel grip frame and the SBH at 45 oz. The 45 Colt with the aluminum gripframe weighs 36 oz. I realize some of that is due to the larger bore and ...

For a PPP for SD purposes my Springfield Armory Milspec 1911 is the same size as my Birds Head Vaqueros and is a lot slimmer.

Could the bolt on a 92 be drilled and tapped for a Skinner sight? The sight base could be made concave to fit the curvature of the bolt or the bolt could be ground flat underneath the sight base. You would definately need a new higher front sight.

If I was to come across one of those sweet little Browning '95s I would cut the barrel to 22" and silver solder on one of those little ramps from a .33 WCF 1886 barrel. Oh yeah, it would also become a .35 WCF. :) If this one doesn't shoot to suit me it's getting rebarreled in .35 Whelen. :wink...

I wonder what that little jewel would do with Nosler BT or Barnes TSX bullets, since there is no need for round or flat nosed bullets? With a good recoil pad it would be a great shooter for recoil sensitive shooters or someone like me with shoulder joint replacements. If you were not worried about c...

I'm different than most folks in that I do not like tang mounted sights. To me, they interfere with gripping the wrist and it just doesn't feel right. I do favor receiver mounted peep sights, though. One of my .38-55s had a Lyman No 1 "D" tang sight mounted on it, but it was removed and i...

I like the 300 Savage with 165 gr Partitions. Load them to 2400-2500 fps and they'll work great on elk at reasonable distances. I think I'd cut the distance off at around 225 yds but a lot of personal considerations are factored into that. I've heard good things about the 150 gr Barnes TSX on elk b...

You could try the Sierra 125 gr FN. Sam Fadala in his book, Winchester's 30-30, Model 94 , lists a load on page p.50, using the Sierra 125 gr FN and 38.0 gr of H-335 for 2709 fps mv out of a 26" barrel. For a 20 inch barrel he said to deduct about 100-125 fps. That comes to 2584 to 2609 fps for...

I believe the benefit of the NF bullets is that CA hunters have more choices where lead free ammo is concerned. Now depending what you are hunting i.e. blacktail or mule deer vs a 300 lb boar with a mud covered gristle plate, you have a lead free bullet that will fill the bill. Regarding the 250 gr ...

For the price I think I will stick with my Puma in 480. It is what a lever action carbine should look like.

If I recall correctly I seem to remember that Paco Kelly developed a 30 cal wildcat based on a 41 mag cartridge necked down to 30 cal. How about a wildcat based on the 454 Casull length cartridge?

Higher velocity - less recoil, hmm. I think I would have to see that. If I recall correctly a 300 WSM was compared to the 300 Win Mag. IIRC the shorter, stubbier round exceeded or at least equaled the velocity of the Win Mag. Of course I may be suffering from "oldtimer's" vs Alzheimer’s. ...

I think that a good example is the WSM cartridges compared to their conventional counter parts.
