I set up this BLR in .308 with a green light for hog hunting last year. I have no doubt I can kill a hog out to probably 100 yds on a dark night with this rig, but you have to see a hog before you can shoot it, and I didn't have much luck on that trip to Texas.

Lastmohecken

No much, I guess. if you can hunt, and you have time and patience and good luck and maybe a little experience. But some of us might want more. I haven't needed anything for many years. But I seem to want things anyway.

I remember handling some of the double stack Para pistols, but never thought much about them, as I don't really like the fatter grip. However, I have a friend that has a gun shop and he got in a Para single stack, double action only 1911, commander size, approx. Well he sold it and it come back on h...

Nath, nice fox and rabbits too. Nice rifle also. I have been tempted to get one of those in .22 mag, but I think I want the full length stock model carbine. Our local gun shop has one. Did you hit the fox in the neck, looks like maybe? Did the 22 mag drop him in his tracks or did he travel a ways? G...

I had a 20ga Superposed, but it had a single selective trigger. I thought it would make a fine upland gun, but while I could shoot it pretty good on clays, I shot it poorly when hunting quail. I think the problem for me is I have just shot side by sides for too long, and my eye needs to see those h...

One that I've watched more than a few times is "Rio Bravo" the singing always makes me smile, thankfully John Wayne doesn't join in....... :wink: Me too! I always loved Rio Bravo, and especially the singing. (Just my rifle, My Pony, and Me) I also love El Dorado, Red River, and on old B-m...

Their is an appeal to a good looking SxS. But I've always done better with an O/U. My Citori fits me and seems to fly to my shoulder. But it's really obvious that these two hombres know their shotguns. Congrats on a nice score. Thanks, Yeah, we do love the side by sides. I do have a Browning A5 for...

Good for you guys, what shell were you using? I was using some Winchester AA, Super-Handicap Heavy Target Loads, 1-1/8 oz of 7.5's, at about 1250 fps in my tighter barrels of both side by sides, but was using some Remington Premier STS Light Target, 1-1/8 oz of 7.5's at about 1145 or close in the m...

I thought you were gonna say you were using the Marlin or Winchester 410 lever actions . While I've used them on the skeet field they aren't what I'd want along on a live bird hunt ! What gauge is your Parker 12 ? Looks to be a VH or VHE ? Incidently I have a couple friends down in south eastern AR...

Nice guns. Have you shot the 76 much. Handloaded for it?

Went quail hunting today. Those side by sides do have levers on them. :) That's me on the left with my J.P. Sauer, and my brother in law on the right; he was using my Parker. There's not much more fun than a good hunt with a classic side by side. It was a great day to be afield. We had a nice little...

For a regular scope, not a scout scope, I recently mounted a Leupold 1 x 4 Pig Plex on a Danial Defense AR-15, and I found that scope on 1 power to be very fast on target, for people that want a regular scope.

Lastmohecken

Sorry, I didn't mean to side rail the OP's question. I did at one time own a Hunter Super BlackHawk, not the Bisley Hunter, and I found the gun to be very comfortable to shoot with the factory green Laminated grips that came on it. It had enough weight out front to really tame it down, but I found i...

On singleaction grips, I have found that I get the most satisfaction with Sandbar Stag grips with a fair amount of bark on them, because they allow some braking of the roll on the pistol during recoil, but still allow the harder kickers to roll some. The only down side I run into is top quality Sand...

Bisley. My Casull was a Bisley. My coworker's Casull had Pacmyers. I still have skin on my palm... even firing 1200ftlb loads. He doesn't. Nuff said. Yep, I tried a set of Pacmyers on a Super Blackhawk one time, and they were terrible. I couldn't handle that rubber tire spinning in my hands, worst ...

I tried the scout rifle concept one time, when I found this Older Browning BLR in .308 that had already been turned into a scout rifle, at a local gunshop. The barrel had been cut down to about 16" and it had a pistol scope on it in a mount that had been drilled and tapped on the barrel. I late...

I seen it last week, the bear mauling seen was the best part of the whole show, and I liked the wolves seen. But the end was not in keeping with history according to the accounts I have read. I go ahead and go to the show most of the time if really want to see something because I enjoy it, and try t...

I will take a 39A without the &*() cross bolt safety, tuned action that feeds smooth, and a match quality barrel, (not micro-groove), and a 2LB trigger, and of course a fine walnut stock.

While all them fellars been full of praise and gushin' on like old women, I'll give ya dose of reality. You know don't ya, that Ruger made a .22 lever gun... Maybe next time? :P :P Good looking rifle. Hopefully you'll enjoy it for many years. :mrgreen: yeah, it will outlast me for sure. I remember ...

Yep, we have open carry, in Arkansas now, but it's been hotly debated by some as to whether it is legal or not. I have open carried a little bit where I know I won't be challenged but generally I just continue to carry concealed because that way I can just go on about my business pretty much whereve...

I have been tempted by those CZ's, full length stock in .22 mag. I see them every once in awhile at the local gun shop. And I used to own a 30-06 full length stocked Sako which I wish I had kept, but that particular gun was pretty heavy and I eventually sold it, but the balance made it a great off h...

I picked up this used Ruger International .22
It has turned out to be a great shooter. I always liked the looks and handling but I just never did jump off an buy one until now.

Lastmohecken

For the money, it's looks to be a fair deal. I would buy it, if I didn't already own a nice one. I tempted to anyway. Somebody ought to buy it. I would take my chances on it, before I would a Rossi for the money.

My favorite but a little more expensive, probably, is the Uberti 73 short rifle. Mine shoots very accurately, and has a very smooth action, although I did have to take it apart, and take off some rough edges because the shells were hanging up coming out of the mag tube, but after I did that, all has...

My circa 1967 Marlin 444 rifle that was made into a "Retro 444P" cut the barrel to 19" and reblued the metal a couple times and I redid the wood it has about 25-30 coats of Tung Oil on it now ! In this picture it has the Leupold Vari XII 1-4 that will stay with it for good now . And ...

I have lots of Winchesters, but my go to when I just have to get something killed is my Browning BLR.

Merry Christmas and tell them I loved it, they have some talent.

I leave them on, But I can take them or leave them. I do like the looks of them, but I don't tie leather on them, because I am left handed and they get in my way.

After the CA shooting I was thinking about concealed carry calibers. The shooters wore body armor (and we don't know what type) so is there a handgun caliber that can defeat body armor? Pretty sure my 9mm won't. I know head shots are an option and perhaps lower abdomen/hip/groin area would be a via...

I carry .380's too sometimes, any gun is better then no gun, but that doesn't mean it's a good choice if one can carry something more substantial, but yeah, carry your .380 if that's all you can conceal, but most of them are harder to shoot effectively at distance, then a slightly larger gun, althou...

I have been shooting BLR's for many years, and you really shouldn't have to grip the lever very tight at all to make it fire. it's either out of time, one notch or the trigger disconnect is not adjusted right from the factory, probably. I would send it to the factory for repair or a good gunsmith th...

Interesting Thread. I don't think the answer is some magic bullet, or caliber for concealed carry. But I do think if we eliminated these so called gun free zones which are so very stupid, and it seams like these soft targets are usually always the starting point for one of these mass shooters, Musli...

Congratulations on your new to you Parker.

You can't judge bullet performance by only one instance. As long as you make the same type of shot, you should be good. If you had used a heavier soft nose bullet you would probably had had a pass through, but possibly not as much damage and the deer might have went a little farther before dropping ...

I have owned those tip barrel guns before, and will echo what someone else said; for one if you are going to .22, I suggest staying with something like the Smith and Wesson J-frame revolver in .22 mag. That way if you have a misfire you can just roll on through it. The tip up barrel guns don't have ...

I never had or heard of that happening before, and I didn't know it was an MIM part, now days. However, I believe I did have a hammer break one time, several years ago.

I got the 20 inch mostly because I like the balance better then the 24 inch rifle, and I couldn't see the sights as well on the shorter carbines then 20", mostly because the front sight filled up the rear notch too tightly in 16 inch versions I looked at. Mine is a Cimarron by Uberti.
