Dogngun: "I don't see a need for improvements". Good on you for not following the herd and automatically ordering all the stuff you need to make it work right according to some of the pundits. I'm afraid I did that and ended up with a .44 rifle that barely ejects and then only when really...

Is that thing REAL? Looks like it's from some online zombie killing game...

Some people still look down on Savage, but I have been shooting various Savage rifles for decades, and have not found more accurate centerfire rifles made here in the US. The company constantly improves their products-really improves them, not making changes for the sake of changes, and their custom...

Greetings Individuals buy items for all sorts of reasons, then discover there are all sorts of reasons to sell. About 8 years ago an ILLinois State Police officer purchased a S&W snubby .357 mag at a police supply store. Took it to the back range and fired 10 rounds of 125 grain ammo . Took the...

My old Savage .30-06. I bought a very used model 110 that w probably made in the 1970's...Dirt cheap, because someone had painted the wood flat black. I stripped and oil finished it, and found it was about the most accurate bolt rifle I have ever owned...till now. It was very plain and made for low ...

Just so Indianagirl won't be dissappointed here's a picture of mine untill you find yours. http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/oo106/flightsimmer_2009/RossiM92s-357Magtop45Coltbottom-1.jpg Mine looks like the top one-the matte brown wood. Very nice rifle, I see no problems with it at all out of the ...

I just could not get used to, and it had holes for a scope mount drilled into it ... Found my new rifle online at Buds for $419, free shipping. It's on its way now, should have it early next week. While it's always good news to hear that someone's getting a new gun, I'd be interested if you found 3...

Got it. The quality is much improved over the old Puma I once had, and I don't see a need for improvements. Trigger is very good, laver needs a few hundred cycles, loading gate is pretty easy. Wood, finish and fit is first rate. I really like the buckhorn rear sight -it is also improved over the old...

A sporterized long before I got it-probably in the 1960'- Spanish 98 Mauser action, with a new US commercial sporter barrel in .308 Win. Has a jeweled bolt, bent for a scope. I put in a TImney sportsmen trigger and an old Redfield 2x7 scope on steel mounts, put it all in a plastic stock of some sort...

Since I'm an old retired guy, not very much. I have a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe we got a few years ago...with only 70,000 on it-for about $6000. And I'm just buying a 1999 Buick Regal GS (supercharger) for $1500. This one needs some mechanical work, but I think I can get it legal, safe and working fine ...

It should ship today or tomorrow, might get here by the end of this week . It's the standard 20" round barrel which is what I ws looking for anyway. My old Puma was a very handy little rifle, and I had no problems shooting it at all...I have owned one or 2 EWinchester 94's and maybe 8 or 9 Marl...

I had an old Puma some years ago, and liked it but it had that big cowboy lever that I just could not get used to, and it had holes for a scope mount drilled into it... Found my new rifle online at Buds for $419, free shipping. It's on its way now, should have it early next week. I have mostly .38 S...

About 15 years ago, I bought a used SAA in .44 magnum, made by Sauer & Shon in Germany in teh 1970's. I have had several of these-I like them a lot. I eventually sold it, saw it again a few years ago, in a different shop, with a broken ejector rod. I bought it - cheap- and installed a Ruger rod ...

My understanding on the J.C. Higgins Model 54 is this...they are pre-64 Winchester Model 94's stamped with the Seart "J.C. Higgins" brand name and a serisl number series all their own...which no one knows. The Higgins Model 54 was discontinued in the late 1950's or early 1960's, and the le...

FWIW, the "new" Rossi 462 revolver I have now is first rate. Thanks. mark I've looked at those and have heard generally very good things, save for the usual knee-jerk Rossi detractors. Few people know that it's one of the--if not "the" (at least among popularly known)--small fra...

The one I had was an old Puma with a big lever, which I was not crazy about and it was used when I bought it about 10 years ago...but it functioned just fine with .38's as well as magnums, and it was a good, handy size and an accurate rifle...I'm already saving and will probably start shopping in a ...

went and traded it on something else. I am thinking about buying a new one for my birthday late this summer. Are they still as good as the older ones? FWIW, I have owned several other Rossi guns-including my current carry revolver, a Rossi 462, and I like them a lot and they have been trouble free. ...

Our dog had surgery for cancer in January of 2010. It kept him alive and happy till this past February, when he left us. It has been among the hardest things in my life to lose a dog, and I still feel the grief for a dog who died almost 25 years ago...I have pictures of 3 of my dogs in my wallet. We...

I had a very nice older Marlin in .35...I liked the factory sights beter than the peep, but that was some years ago...The .35 rem in the Marlin rifle is a very popular gun here in eastern PA for deer and black bear. I think they are hard to beat for accuracy firing offhand...makes me look a better s...

I recently bought a .303 Ishapore that someone had "improved"...It did hjave a great bore and a really well done single stage, lightened trigger. I paid $75 for it. Still getting it together-cut the barrel down to 20" and re-crowned it, Still cursing the rear sight mount-probably have...

I have owned maybe 3 over the last 45 years. I find they are very accurate off hand...VERY accurate. I also find I like them best with the factory sights.They give you a fast pick-up and good picture for quick shots at game. The round is proven over more than 100 years. It is a popular rond here in ...

I bought several '50's era Marlins maybe 9 years ago for under $200 each, one in .35 rem, the rest in "30 Win" (.30-30)...The versions I got were those with the fat forend...In several I had to replace the magazine spring and follower (made of wood) and I really recommend taking the mag sp...

I just saw a bunch of various used Win '94's, some actual old collectors and some newer shooters...the shooters under $300, and my bell is ringing...I might just put one on layaway...they had a Ranger version with the slightly longer barrel that looked interesting to me.

Paco, I have not been to this forum for some time, and I am happy to hear your wife is recovering. My own wife is chronically ill with a liver disease, and I know the terrible and helpless feeling of the sickness as it comes and goes. My best wishes for a long, healthy and happy life to you both. mark

I have owned several Uberti and Pietta SAA's and several Pietta BP revolvers over the last 45 years. The Piettas are first rate, and one of the Pietta SAA's was the most accurate single action I have ever owned. I have also owned several Rossi firearms, including an older Puma '92 in .357 magnum. It...

I have owned and shot a trapdoor, and front-loading black powder arms, both revolvers and rifles. There is a real advantage to the trapdoor-the pre-loaded cartridge is very much more reliable, consistant and weather proof than a front loading rifle, and it IS much faster to load if all is working ri...

Hobie;
Just a THANK YOU! for all your hard work and time spent getting this site up and running.

I had an older Rossi '92 Winchester copy in .357. IT fed every configuration of .357 mag and .38 Spl loads I would put in it, even mixed magazines, but would tear up the Blazer cases and jam them in the rifle. The cases are a bit too soft and the gun steel seems like it distorts the case in handling...

Please check this link: www.gunowners.org/fs0404.htm It concern several reports made by the FBI on where and how criminals get firearms. I can assure you none of them buys from a legal dealer, or through any "gunshow loophole". That whole idea is a creation of the anti-gun lobbyists and ha...

I live in PA, where there are no griz, but I carry a SAA and a derringer in .45 LC while in the woods.
I was going to say that I can't believe the lawmakers in the State of Washington is that stupid, but yes, of course I can.
If I lived there, I'd carry anyway, under my coat.
