One of my go to loadings is a 300 grain bullet with a healthy dose of H110.

Rube Burrows

Oh, these will be nice.

I have a revolver that should be in today from Alan Harton. Bisley Blackhawk 45.

Rube Burrows

That was good. Thanks for sharing.

Rube Burrows

I kept checking with no luck. I was just about to give up hope. Glad its back.

Rube Burrows

Im about 30 min north of New Orleans and that is plenty close enough for me. Too close sometimes.

Rube Burrows

read the question wrong. Disreguard.

Rube Burrows

So very sorry for your loss

Rube Burrows

Man at the history in that place. So cool. Thanks for sharing.

Plowboy got himself a good one with that one. Should get any critter in north america to re-think its life decisions on attacking him.

Sad news today that Val Kilmer has passed.

His role as Doc will always be tops.

Thanks for sharing your memories and photos of JT. By all accounts he was a great man. I never knew him personally but have always admired his work as well as the other gun writers of his kind.

My mother in law has been battling cancer for about 6 years. She was stage 4 when first diagnosed and started treatments. They initially gave her 18 to 24 months. Here we are 6 years later and she's still with us, but now it has progressed to the point that treatments are no longer an option. She n...

Rube Burrows

Sad indeed for his family, friends and those of us who admired his work.

Rube Burrows

He will be a great loss to the shooting community but more importantly his friends and family.

Rube Burrows

I have been getting an Error message everytime I have tried to get on here for the last few days. Glad to see it back.

Rube Burrows

Pretty amazing stuff there.

Rube Burrows

Thank you. It's been a busy last few weeks. I do appreciate the birthday wishes though.

Rube Burrows

Dont know what its worth but it sure is pretty. I did not know they made them in 38-55. I have always wanted one of the Savage 1899s but never wanted to fool with the most commonly seen 300. If I ever saw one locally in 38-55 or 30-30 I would definitely have my interest peeked.

Rube Burrows

Happy these are being reposted. Good information such as this should not be lost.

Rube Burrows

Turned out to be a fine looking shooter. Thanks for sharing.

Rube Burrows

I like the video a LOT. I like the gun a lot too. I prefer stainless, and I appreciate the receiver sight. My thought is that the gun would be more useful in 444 given the frame size. OTOH, I doubt there is a 44 mag load that could stretch that frame... still don't know the twist rate of the smith,...

Rube Burrows

Thanks for the info guys. I assumed that the S&W 1854 could handle the Ruger Only Loads. I have been shooting them in it for a couple weeks now and have not seen any problems. When it comes to the traditional lever guns, that is what I love most. For some reason this one just spoke to me when I ...

Rube Burrows

So, in the manual it says that 45 +P ammo is not recommended.

Is this just something they put in there to cover their butts?

In my Ruger Blackhawk I shoot a 300g XTP bullet with 23g of H110.

I would think that the 336/clone could handle that but definitely dont want this S&W to come apart.

Rube Burrows

Thank you Craig. This information has been so valuable to me over the years when loading for my 45 Colt Blackhawks. I am glad to see it again.

Hard to beat. Now you'll have those memories forever.

Thanks.

Very nice and only 600 bucks!!!! Wow. Around here even the most ragged out and decrepit 73 has an asking price of 2500+

Rube Burrows

Thanks everyone. Me and my sons really enjoy hunting. Both have been hunting and shooting since a young age and I am proud of the people they are. These are the memory makers that I would not trade anything for.

Went on a hunt with my two sons this week and yesterday my 11 year old dropped the hammer on a nice 8 point buck. This is his second buck (last year he got a 7 point) and he also got himself a doe year before last. On this particular hunt he was with my oldest son ground hunting while I was sitting ...

Rube Burrows

Are these available yet? I do not see them online. Would be a nice addition.

Rube Burrows

Horrible. Hate to hear of things such as these. Prayers to all impacted by this.

Supposedly they are a great thing but what can they do that a regular oven and microwave can't?

We have one and They do a great job. We really enjoy some things in there more than a regular oven. Also reheat things better than a normal oven so leftovers taste better.

Sounds good.

Nice video Rube. On the video comments on Youtube, there is someone who theorizes that Rossi & Taurus make these guns for S&W. The 1854 rifles are made in Springfield, Mass, just like the revolvers and have nothing to do with Rossi or Taurus. Take a look at the markings on the rifle. It say...

You can never have to many of your favorite caliber.

Rube Burrows

Nice video. Good to see a modern made lever gun feed reliably. Those loads with H110 seemed to set you back a bit. Yes. All worked well. Fed well, shot well and yeah, those H110 loads with the 300g HTP really laid the smack down. The rifle has a padded buttstock so no issues there. The target did n...

Rube Burrows

Thanks Rube. Nice rifle and video. I like it more for its potential "All weather durability". I don't like to get my wood and blue Winchesters and Brownings wet. JBowen Thanks. That was kind of my thoughts on it also. We do a lot of hunting in the swamps of Louisiana so this has the poten...

Rube Burrows

Good Video Rube ! I love the gun and the way it's laid out with the synthetic stock and the torx head screws. They sure ain't pretty but are really practical. Around here in Ohio We often get nasty cold weather especially in Deer season the big loop lever works with gloves on. Thanks for the Video....

Here is a YouTube video I made on this one.

Thanks. I assumed so but thought I would ask.

Rube Burrows

I have always wanted a Winchester 94 410 but they run around 1200-1500 here. At the price this company wants I would just but a real Winchester. I've seen the Hanic advertised for $1250 here, which is about $805 US. Winchester 9410s seldom come up here but when they do they're expen$ive. This one h...

I wish they would put those M-lok slots on the wooden version, but it's $120 more already :? If in doubt, you can take it apart and see how it's built before using +P or +P+ rounds. That would be nice to have the slots on the wooden one. I normally preferred blued guns over stainless guns but saw t...

I ended up going back up there and buying it. As for modern lever actions, I generally don't go for them but this one really looked and felt good in the hand so I felt I would give it a try. It's not TO tacticool. No AR stock or anything like that. Just enough modern features to be a good woods gun ...

Rube Burrows

Hello. We all know that S&W recently came out with the 1854 lever action rifles. Well, the 44 magnum is a caliber that I have a few of but just not one of my favorite calibers. Yesterday at a gun show I saw one in 45 Colt (which I did not know they made) and the 45 Colt is one of my favorite cal...

My go to deer rifle for where I live is a Winchester 94AE with the cross bolt safety. I absolutely love that gun and wouldn't take 2,000 for it right now.

Rube Burrows

Here are a couple more photos.

The one photo is the carbine when I first got it. I got it as a bunch of parts in a box with the barreled action.

Rube Burrows

I have a Model 94 post 64 that started life as a carbine. I used the Numrich barrel which does not taper and ended up going with a Uberti rifle length front handguard. I don't remember which magazine hanger I went with but I boogered up the dovetail a little and had to get creative with some JB weld...
