I don’t know but I would think it would be enough gun. It’s close to heavy bullet 30-06 specs, close to 444, 356, 358. It is not far from 338-06, my 338 RCM, 35 Whelan, 350 mag, the 9.3s and such which are considered fine. A guide might want more as he shoots when things are going badly.

44shooter

It doesn’t make much difference to me in feel and some models look better with one or the other to me. I have both straight and PG stocked lever actions. Generally, I think straight stocks go with carbines/short rifles and PGs go with longer rifles. I tend to like a more open pistol grip even on bol...

Congratulations on getting that timepiece working. It saddens me to see stopped mechanical clocks. Most just need a cleaning and reoiling, sometimes a few worn parts replaced

44shooter

That is an excellent buy!

I think it’s a bad idea. I get they are trying to introduce CWD resistance into the population through genetic introduction. Thing is you are introducing the captive deer’s entire genome into the population which unknown consequences into the future. This could very well reduce the population fitnes...

44Shooter, I have not seen any warnings to avoid the hottest loads in a medium frame Ruger .41 magnum but I am certain that Ruger covered all their bases before releasing these revolvers. Considering their .480 Ruger and .454 Casull revolvers with "Carpenter" alloys used in their cylinder...

44shooter

+p would be fine I’m sure, as would equivalent 45 Colt pressures (23k). I’m not sure about 45 Super, but I think it would handle it

44shooter

. Is a 'medium frame' for a single-action Ruger a regular 'Blackhawk' frame (and the Super Blackhawk the large, and Vaqureo the small...???) Not quite. Original flattop Blackhawks are medium-frame as are the New Vaquero, the 50th anniversary 357 and other modern flattops like this 41. The medium is...

44shooter

Those would be nice eating size. Probably no time to deal with that on the job though

44shooter

I have the one my dad and his siblings bought for my granddaddy. Very light for a full size rifle. It now wears a Williams peep I bought for my dad after he inherited it.

44shooter

You need to go out and examine different makes. Work the bolt, and safety, check out how the bolt locks up and how the magazine system works. There are many similarities, but they are not all the same. Take your time and find out what you like. If you are just getting one, get exactly what you want....

You can cook tiny pieces of liver in broth style gravy to bolden the flavor without it tasting like full blast liver. It’s good in egg gravy on turkey, dressing, cream potatoes etc

44shooter

Very nice buck. Excellent revolver too

44shooter

Personally I would keep it under 100 yards but otherwise I think you are good to go assuming good shot placement. I put the Federal 300 gr hard cast load the long way through a whitetail.

44shooter

So far I really like handloading 45 acp. 38 Special is pretty fun too

44shooter

Am I understanding that you are firing LR ammo with a WRF case sleeved around it? If so, how do you extract the sleeve from the cylinder? Do the two cases just stick together? I’m wondering if you can somehow make fixed (but removable) chamber inserts to allow chambering LR or the shorter cartridges...

44shooter

I think it is a legacy of the group that bought S&W a while back. The company had some sort of safety trigger apparatus . I don’t care for it either but I have bought two revolvers that have it and don’t let it worry me

44shooter

I would say with that with recurrent ammo supply issues and resulting high prices, it is too expensive not to consider reloading. Yes we still need consumable supplies, but components have a degree of flexibility. Also you can keep making the same load. Factory loads are often discontinued, changed,...

What an amazing inheritance!

44shooter

That’s definitely lead shot from an earlier time. Do not take them waterfowling. I used these as a teen and they killed squirrels WAY OUT there (I bypassed the weaker Rabbit and Squirrel version). Should do fine on turkey too with the right choke.

44shooter

Thank you!

44shooter

Leupold Dual dovetail for sure. Readily available rings. Rock solid system

That’s horrible. Yet, I would like to have it

Same frame size and lock work. Different sights, steels and chambering

44shooter

I passed on a $600 one around 2005 and regretted it. Lever action prices have gone way up across the board since then. You don’t see B92s for sale that often. Well made, no added safeties, it probably a great buy assuming there are no mechanical problems

44shooter

Got to love it when it’s easy. I would do the same thing

44shooter

At least she won’t be selling your guns again. Seriously I know it sucks. We get used to people even when it may not be ideal. Keep yourself busy and take care of yourself and you will be alright

44shooter

Looks much better without the bowling ball finish

44shooter

What happens to them that they need to be replaced?

44shooter

They all are under Taurus. The Heritage 92 is made in Brazil just like Rossi. Like Chevy/GMC. And the Roscoe is just a Taurus 85. Maybe they are doing some brand restructuring

44shooter

First time I’ve seen a roller shotgun. It looks so clean and balanced.

44shooter

Do you eat those? I read you can eat the fruit and the pads. We only have tiny ones here and only on the sandy coast

I have never seen a practical difference. I don’t buy the excessive freebore theory. Any bullet from a revolver has to clear the chamber, bridge the gap, and enter the forcing cone before it engages the rifling. If the ammo and the gun is decent, an extra tenth doesn’t matter. If it were a thing, wa...

I have a Burris compact 2-7x on my 77/22, both mid 80s vintage. I hunt on 4x and rarely change it.

44shooter

That snubnose looks so cool. It should make a nice belt gun

I have seen solid white pipes to replace the fiber optic

I have a Huglu double in 20. I got it before CZ became the importer but it is what is now the Ringneck. Absolutely beautiful gun and nice to carry. I had a hard time opening it once after firing at a dove but otherwise it has been fine. I don’t hit well with it though. I haven’t shot it enough to fi...

44shooter

I hope they go back to what made them famous, Contenders and muzzleloaders. Encore or TCR and maybe a good quality bolt gun that stands out would be good. Not four different lines of box store discount bolt actions that no one can keep straight.

44shooter

RIP. I always read his articles in the magazines I get, even when they were about guns I did not have or likely to get. For his friends here, Iam sorry for your loss.

44shooter

Taurus owns Rossi too. But yes they are imported from Brazil from a Taurus owed factory.

I’m still waiting for the sheriff to arrest me for not paying that Indian fellow delinquent taxes a few years ago

44shooter

I handled one at my lgs. Seems like a well made little rifle. My favorite semi pcc is the Ruger LC in 45 acp though. If I wanted a 9x19 I’d probably get the Smith that folds on half. If I’m going to shoot short auto cartridges I prefer they load in the grip to reduce receiver length

44shooter

Taurus owns Heritage. The Heritage Roscoe revolver is a Taurus 85 but with traditional styling

44shooter

Experimental prototypes in the 308s infancy I suspect

My stepdad got the second phase of the brain pacemaker surgery today at UNC hospital. His Parkinson’s has been really progressive lately.

44shooter

One caliber for rifles and handguns, I’m thinking 35 although it’s not my favorite for either. I suppose my 44s would work but I like having a flatter shooting rifle. Give one caliber for each, 30 for rifles, 45 for handguns. Still need a shotgun or three

44shooter

Eye relief is usually reduced as magnification increases. You could try loosening the rings and pulling the scope back until you get a full field at 8x. Hopefully your field of view will still be fine at lower magnification. That’s a lot of zoom at arms length

44shooter

Easy for me. My early production 77/22 I got for Christmas when I was about 15. Bought a compact Burris for it. I replaced the trigger with a Dayton Traister when I was about 30. Will shoot about anything decently. Will one hole at 50 yards with a few loads. When something small needs to be shot, th...
