Looks like a keeper, would try to talk you out of it if it were a 16ga. Have an old Parker Trojan in 16ga, built circa 1919 (back when Americans still could build things and took pride in work) Short chambers, but I will tell you, love it. It isn't pretty, bought it for a song as no one wanted the s...

Darn FTX's shoot high!! Had to crank her down quite a bit, and still might need a smidge. Didn't "one hole" the shots, but each pair was touching except last two, and you couldn't fit a bullet hole between them. Rifle is a shooter. Next will have her dialed in to a gnat's behind. Probably ...

Going to shoot some prairie chickens tomorrow, but first, going to start sighting in my Marlin 338. Right now it is sighted for the Remington 250's, the Hornady 200 grain FTX shoots much higher! I am going to use the ftx on antelope, so need to get it squared away. Running out of time, teal season i...

I have a Colt Pocket Positive in 32NP that I carry quite often. I also have a 32acp Beretta tomcat and WILL have a 32H&R, Gary Reeder has it right now. (More on that when it comes back!) Initially I bought the 32's as in the summer, can be difficult to carry concealed with larger guns, or other ...

Marlin32

For self defense loads, I would use the wad cutters over round nose.
I haven't loaded for the 32 S&W Long, but had Reed's ammo load me some up a while back when ammo was scarce. 100gr wad cutters.

In Nebraska, it is illegal to carry in a church. But there are no signs.

Marlin32

THey made a 24" barreled, camo, turkey version. Wanted to buy one, but with no barrel selection, kind of takes the advantage out of it. Still, Would like to try one in the duck/goose blind.
They are bit cheaper by about 40k than the European version three barrel.

Marlin32

I have a redfield 4x on mine, brother has same set up on his 9422 mag

Marlin32

I bought a colt 22/22mag. Grew up shooting ruger single six, the colt shoots the mag real well, better than the ruger, but not so much with 22 LR.

I don't think you could really go wrong with the bearcat or single six.

Marlin32

Some levers in the Cabelas at Omaha in case anyone looking:
marlin 336 XLR
Two Win 375's
Win 9422
26" barrel win 94 in 30/30

Marlin32

I drew Nebraska Antelope permit for Sandhills. Sounds like a job for the Marlin 338 XLR. Will have to sight in with the FTX rounds. Considerable difference in impact between the Rem 250's and the Hornady. I think the FTX will work fine on antelope size game/distance.

Marlin32

Dang sure nothing good east of Nebraska. Durham Museum downtown, Strategic Air Command Museum just west on I-80 if into aviation at all. Not much for gun shops. Doesn't have any special or must see gun shops. Cabelas on I-80, but probably not any different than any other Cabelas store, Scheels All S...

I have a marlin 357 mag. I think it would work, I have a leopould 1x4 available for it and works just fine.
Can shoot 38 special loads at smaller game, or even some of the lighter weight bullets
I think BUffalo bore has some stouter heavier loads for bears, cougars and hogs.

Marlin32

I carry the Springfield Compact in 40 S&W. I like it.
If into 1911's the EMP in 40S&W might be a choice.

Marlin32

I agree with all. Likely will have him set up in a make shift blind, will have shooting stix and possibly have the ability for a small sandbag or rest. My thoughts now are on the sights. I don't think the SP 101 is set up for any kind of scope mount for scope or dot type sight. He is old timer, and ...

Marlin32

Requesting experience on hunting handguns. My father who turns 80, had his pacemaker moved and will no longer be able to shoot a rifle. He has a 6" barrel 357 Ruger SP101, which will work at close distances. Worried about him using the sights though. I have no experience with the Thompson Cente...

I freeze many bags a year. Red Savina Habaneros. Great in chili. I dehydrate also, grind into powder and flakes. Put them on about everything except my cheerios in the morning. Serranos also, they are my staple for spaghetti sauce (few habaneros go in too) salsa, and everything else Have ghost peppe...

Try a little pineapple juice, splash of lemon juice also and some Worcestershire sauce in with the teriyaki. I grill mine. I have cured duck and goose breasts, smoked them. Then put in crock pot with duck fat, and some Famous Dave's Pineapple rage bbq sauce. Then shred breasts, its a "pulled du...

I have used the Marlin 1894 in .357. I used the Federal 180gr hollow point bullet.
Works great under 75 yards. Bullet will mushroom perfectly and bullet will exit if close enough (on behind shoulder shots) or will be found just under the hide on opposite side.

Marlin32

Great, glad to hear things are working out in everyone's favor. Hard to keep the faith sometimes.

Marlin32

Thanks Horsesoldier, that is what I was looking for. Thanks to you to Joe for the lead on holster maker. Buck you might want to read my original post before you spout of your infinite wisdom. I asked about custom holster makers, not treatise on SAA carry, or what clothes to wear. Just looking for so...

Marlin32

Wasn't asking for a lecture, was asking about custom holster makers. Should have stopped there, left out the why. Then people wouldn't feel the need to throw out unsolicited advice and lecture on wearing a belt or how to dress. Carry my XD 40 with paddle all the time with and without belt. Hardly us...

Marlin32

Looking for custom holster makers. I want a paddle style holster, similar to like a Fobus type paddle holster (although no need necessarily for it to be plastic) to fit a SAA style revolver.

Mernickle makes a decent looking holster but attaches to a belt. I do not want holster to require a belt.

Marlin32

2 sxs's an old Parker Trojan with 2.5" chambers, a Win 24
2 Sweet 16's
and a Citori 16ga
Load with MEC jr. and handload roll crimp.
Mostly load short hulls, use them in all above. Same load as a 2.75 but in a roll crimped short hull

Marlin32

Please post your results. I would be interested in using those myself

Marlin32

Hawk bullets does or will make a heavy 32 special bullet.

Marlin32

I would entertain the notion if in 358 or 338 Federal
But will have crappy trigger, day I buy it will have to take it to gunsmith to work on trigger, that is a guarantee

Marinate in Pineapple juice, Lawerys (spelling?) teriyaki marinade (has pineapple in it also) Worcestershire sauce, little bit of lemon juice, lemon pepper, half-sharp paprika, garlic, little bit of ginger, salt and pepper. Grill and yes, Leave pink!! Biggest problem with cooking deer is cooking it ...

Marlin32

Probably have same gun. It is light weight for one, especially for big ol' turkey loads. Stock fit is very poor and compounds problem. I have a couple of double barrel 10s, O/U and a sxs. BOth heavy guns, recoil much tamer, but still not fun to pattern, but neither is a 12 or a 16ga fun to pattern. ...

Marlin32

I am hoping the crank some out too, I may rebarrel or rebore it to neck up the cartridge to 348 or 358
Don't want to use the one I have, had Mic McPherson do some work on it and is a real shooter. BUT...

Good bullets still allude this cartridge.

Do you have list of trophy fees. I would like to shoot a Kudu, an Impala, and an eland. But would like to know some others,

To me, this is a relatively cheap hunt. Interested, but not sure I can turn it around this quick. But will give me idea if in next couple of years I want to go.

Thanks.

Marlin32

Wouldn't be my choice. Hunted two years ago with a guy who shot moose with 270, I helped track that animal for three miles. High lung shot. Remember, that is one big critter, first shot is kill shot, after that, the next shots are for how difficult your packing out is going to be. They are big critt...

Marlin32

Who did that set up for you? How does it shoot?

Marlin32

I may be wrong, but I Believe Universal refers to Universal Clays in load data.
There is a different poweder titled just Clays, is different from Universal. International Clays is another.
In load data usually refered to as: Universal, Clays and International Clays.

Marlin32

Man, where are all the 358's at??
Have been cruising internet for a BLR pistol grip 358, there are none. Big dealers say out of stock.
I can find the BLR 81, but don't want that one.

Not many savage 99's around either, and are selling in the 1500 and up range.

Marlin32

I would second what 86er said although I have no experience with the .35 FTX, the .338FTX not, in my opinion, a good choice for elk or moose. WIth the .35 you have a chance to move up in sectional density with a larger bullet and in the 356 (something I am contemplating myself) the 220 speer I think...

Marlin32

Stay away from Broadmouth Canyon in Idaho & Utah.

Marlin32

You'll have good time at 86er's. Jealous, I fully planned on hunting there in Feb or early March, but plans fell through. Had to put off until next winter.
Sounds like good trip.

Marlin32

Sorry to hear. Seems silly to some that we care that much about our dogs, but maybe something wrong with me, I like my dog (and others dogs) more than I like most people. They can be big part of one's life and it no small matter. I am not much on religion, and can't speak for humans, but pretty sure...

LIke about anything, the young ones are ok, older ones not so much.
Not sure where you are or what your woodchucks diet is.
Around here, they eat well, people's gardens, alfalfa, etc, they can eat pretty well around here. Haven't eaten a "whistling pig" for long time.

Marlin32

If you look long enough, you can find some good Trojans for 1000 or less in better condition. I have a 16ga Trojan, bought it cheap as it has short chambers, no one wanted it, got price down without much of a fight, I now shoot mostly short hulls in all of my 16s as I roll crimp and able to use same...

What is re-sale value? Never bought a gun to re sell it. I guess wife might be interested in that in case I die first. I agree somewhat with 6pt in that I would rather just buy an Invector barrel for my Belgian, but so far, not much luck with that and they are at least $450. But, still cheaper than ...

Been out for quite some time. I am an A-5 aficianado. Owning several. I want one of the new ones and have been on Browning for years to make a new version using new technology. Not 100% sold on the stock styling, I like the rounded grip, and the receiver has some curves to it that I don't care for, ...

50's I think suffered from the receivers cracking especially with larger payloads. At least that is one complaint I have heard of. The 59 I think was alloy receiver and the new fiberglass wrapped barrel significantly reducing weight. The 50's are not long recoil actions, barrel is fixed, receiver mo...

Marlin32

My advice would be no. Even Modified choke might be a bit constrictive given the fact you will be shooting geese and using large size shot. Hevi-shot not an option either, unless using their "classic doubles" line which is slow worthless ammo Rio makes bismuth loads, RST loads Nice shot (t...

Took home a bronze medal in the Cornhusker State Games with a Ruger Red Label 28ga.
