Buck's access problems should have been solved and I expect he'll be back on the forum shortly.

Good evening, I'm here in support of Old Savage. As moderator he is responsible for ensuring that forum standards are maintained. Sometimes they have to be enforced. This is always difficult because it often requires thought and reflection to be reasonable, fair, direct and effective. This requires ...

Our shop put 5 on order and all are sold awaiting delivery. It is interesting how the darn frames reproduce in the safe.

As the old timers know I have not been by here often. Life changes and other responsibilities have prevented much activity on my part in the forum. I hope all are well. Unfortunately, I've had several complaints about the behavior of a couple of people on the forum. This is really disappointing. Whi...

- military ammo cans work to keep water out (but I already knew that) - most commercial "totes" do not work to keep water out especially from above - the plastic bottles/jugs are wonderful for storing reloading powders - it CAN happen to you - water off when you leave the house I'd tell you "don't a...

Yes, I still live and yes, I am still a moderator and yes, I still have the same standards. I hope that is all I have to say.

I just wanted to stop by to say thank you for the birthday wishes. I'm glad I made it to another one! May God give you all many more wonderful birthdays.

I agree with Pisgah, but that period in history is of great interest to me. Looking forward to seeing how well they do it.

Get one if you can but the Rossis and Browning 1892s are good, too.

THAT is what a bolt gun should be!

A good topic to raise from the dead. The .303 Brit round is a great one. Anyone got one of the Ruger #1s?

I have two (.177 and .22, thanks Fred!), and an "extra" handgun scope, I think there's another project in the works! Had one earlier .22 caliber model when I was a kid, fashioned a butt-stock for it before they made them and shot starlings off the bird feeder with Dad's encouragement. Flat nosed pel...

CAS has been pushing the .22 Whisper for a while...

I have a D-I-S-T-A-N-T cousin in England who is in high dudgeon about a badger 'cull'. Apparently he thinks it is the equivalent of the Turkish genocide of the Armenians. What say our English members?

it was a great day and thank you for all the birthday wishes.

OI hit a good point.......for those who don't reload or are too lazy to....the 32-20 chamber will fire the 32 S&W short, long, and also the 32 auto. Now that my brain is in gear, it will also shoot the 32 mag. (I think) I've done them all, sometimes looking to get rid of a mess of old ammo. The 32 ...

Good to see you are still here.

Am I one of those cousins?

Seriously, I am to the point that I'm going to do this to verify the paper trail, of which I have made a very extensive one. The thing is all of European descent are all descendents of all the people alive in Europe in 1000 AD. IOW, we ARE all cousins.

Good guns. Good for you!

These two loads have never failed to kill squirrels when put through the chest OR head. The penny is for scale. 5 shots each of Aguila Colibri and CCI Quiet 22 solids (not the segmented bullet) at 27 feet from standing using a Winchester Model 47 with the issue open sights and with light on the targ...

The math says that every person of any European ancestry is related to EVERY European of 1000 years ago who had children. EVERY one of them. That is because that many generations back you would have a TRILLION+ grandparents. Many/most/all of those people are likely ?great-grandparents of yours 2+ ti...

Very, very sorry to hear that. He was a fine dog.

I liked the tavern with the drive-thru window...

Our shop is buying leverguns and selling them. However, prices are, to my thinking, just a bit high. On the other hand, the dollar isn't worth what it was and that has to be accounted for as well. We sell LOTS of Ruger American and Savage Axis rifles for less money or just a little more with a scope...

Yep.

I put 70,000 + on the last set of Michelens on the truck and expect to get that out of this set. Beats the old days all hollow.

The quality of the most recently made Remington Marlins is outstanding. I have not tested accuracy, but fit and finish is excellent with everything plumb and straight and nary a thing too proud of its neighbor. I am not a fan of CB safeties or the checkering but both are well done. The actions have...

After an extended "jog" with an M60 anything lighter is a dream date...

CCI Standard Velocity does have better reputation than the Green Tag among local 50BR shooters. I've been using SK Standard Plus in my 52C-HB this past season because that's all I've been able to get.

I was once taught that speaking to the point isn't insulting but being insulted by it is. It appears that in my absence some of you have devolved and for that I am locking the topic.

Mine was in 45-60. Looked like Shasta's Took it shooting with 86er and Jason. Shot a Yak And a pig. I reloaded in BP and really liked the gun. Moved it to get an original 1886 Yours was a .45-75. I bought your surplus ammo when you sold the gun... :wink: PS - I know how hard it is to remember speci...

The .45-60 is the one to have if you want cheap brass but the .45-75 is the one if you want something more. You define "more". I like my .45-75. I do NOT shoot it enough... http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/s ... abel/45-75

Test show that if one does go off you likely wouldn't be missing fingers. .38s I don't worry about EXCEPT don't use wadcutters. Now hot .357s, I'd be wary but I use FPs or HPs anyway.

Fixed.

We want only the best for you OI, our prayers are with you.

Yes, we just got some of the .22 Auto ammo. I think it was made by Aguila but don't have a box here to verify.

About 2 seconds ago...

I would bet that we're not getting all the information. We never do. Same at the shop. I do the same when I take my vehicles in for something if I don't know what's going on and it is due to ignorance of the subject.

Malamute wrote:I'll be the odd man out on the working the lever smartly. All mine have worked perfectly no matter how slowly the lever was run. If it requires running it sharply to work, something is wrong.

Good point but smartly can help diagnosis.

Clean, oil, try again, smartly operating the lever. Doesn't work? Come back here and report.

Mine shot SK Jagd and Remington Target very well today.

Not an expert but recently picked up a 52C and after research don't think the checkering is factory. That's a Ken Viani mount on it. Just put the T-36 Weaver on today. They want me to shoot this Sunday! I don't think so.

I routinely give the same advice with regards to paddle holsters and just as routinely get the same response. As it is my job to help the customer and I am considerate of my boss in this matter I generally let it slide but have been known to point and tell them to have at it as so-and-so will check ...

Hoarding will continue due to the political climate and gouging due to the hoarding and shortages due to both. That is how it is.

Amen.

Who has a dog that has not experienced this sorrow at their passing? Such a person would be no friend of mine. Most dogs are all the best that God can offer in this world and what a sad excuse for a human being is he that would not be heartbroken at losing such a friend. I truly feel for you and my ...

Ooooooh, oooooooh, ooooooh, those are WONDERFUL guns! You are VERY fortunate!

If you can't find a handi barrel of the correct caliber and twist rate to rechamber you can have it stubbed. http://shootingwithhobie.blogspot.com/2 ... bbing.html

Some are great, some not so much. I have shot a couple, like those but have not owned one. I.e., I haven't been so enamoured as to put my own money into one plus the aforementioned necessaries. Those that I shot were adequately accurate for combat, not good enough for hunting. My .54 New Englander w...
