I have cresents on a 94 in 38-55, 1895's in 30-40 and 30-06 and an 1886 in 45/70. The 45/70 with hot loads is the only one that is the least bit harsh. For hunting use-- it would be unnoticable. I limit myself to 5 shot strings at the bench then switching guns and returning later for more with the 8...

I put the leupold 2x8 on my 308 express. I wanted the silver color and a scope that was small enough it did not ruin the balance of the gun.

A friend told me to remove the nipple and fill the tube to the chamber with more powder. Seemed to make it...

Try some 185 grainers and see where they shoot. Do you know that those commeratives sell for well over $1000.00. I would work for a load that shoots in that gun and refrain from doing anything that would modify it from original. Although collector value has been damaged from shooting it, if in origi...

2ndovc, The winchester 1886 deluxe takedown is a very beautiful rifle. The fit, finish and wood grain are beyond description. The 1895 in 30-40 is a very nice reproduction and the wood does have some figure to it. Unlike you, I have been purchasing these and I feel I shouldd be buying 'black rifles&...

I have a Marlin Cowboy 45/70 and a 1st year 1895 45/70 standard rifle along with a Ruger 77 .458WM and a Winchester 70 in 470 Capstick. With the 45/70's I can fire 20 rounds of 405's at 2000fps with little discomfort. 20 rounds of 458 WM shooting 500grains at 2150fps leaves me with a bruise and a sh...

I have a Turnbull reworked 1895 Marlin Cowboy in 50 alaskan. I have just loaded some 535 grain woodleighs with the nose flattened for safety to 1860fps out of my 26 inched barrel gun. As these woodleighs are used in 50 cal DG bolt guns-- I do not know why they would not be just as effective from a l...

Now the new ones are priced at $1188.00 with tax. with the last retail of a 94 original legacy 30-30 at $597.00 from my catalogue-- that means a new one will be about $1300.00 with sales tax.
