Sorry about all the upside down and sideways, I'm just lucky to post them, much less correct it.

I'd sure like that Mod 94 in Van Dykes article, 26" half oct-round barrel, tang sight!

20220813_173358.jpg The rifle in the first pic of this thread, the cover photo, is Doug Turnbulls own late 1800's Mod 86 he restored and bored to 475 Turnbull. I'm 99% sure that's the rifle he used to take a Dall Sheep (could've been a Big Horn Sheep, but I believe a Dall) in the far north. It does...

Great kill pic Flint! In my younger days deer hunting around here, 70s-80's, I bumped into a lotta hunters carrying either the Auto version or the pump action version of those Remingtons, several different model numbers for them thru the years.

I got this one back around may, also for $600 at a local PS. It's a Mod 742, not sure the difference, cosmetics I'd say? I've not shot it at long range, but it's a great deer rifle within reasonable ranges!

I was gonna PM em but on 2nd thought, I'll just post them on this thread so any interested can view em also, get em on here after while, busy right now.

I'll send pics of the best of it if you can't gamekeeper. Let me know?

That is a beautiful Savage, and no doubt one the best hunting cartridges there's ever been! I've never had either, I believe I've missed something!

I just got my Guns&Hunting Issue of Sporting Classics Magazine yesterday. I haven't read any yet, only thumbed thru it so far. It looks like it might be the best Leverguns articles since Rifle Magazines special editions? It's not that in depth I'm sure, but it sure looks interesting, Lotta history a...

With useful being the key word, my Marlin 336 wins by a fraction. I've got the open barrel sights fixed to where for me they're very precise out to 100yds+. I filed the rear sight down flat, so there's only a small shallow U left. Filed a slight flat spot on the front sight. And I have a Marbles Tan...

Old Jed & Old Win both got it right! Mod 94 from every year and in all configurations, has done the job like no others! My 1971 Commemorative is my favorite rifle!

Drawdown

Oh OK, I see. I've never tried that, loading a bullet backwards! What, you never loaded HBWC’s backwards for a .38 spl defense load? It’s all I use for my 2” revolvers. Even with today’s magic bullets I don’t think there’s a better load for snubbies. No, I hadn't tried any this stuff. All my reload...

I hunted with a Browning 71 quite a bit for a couple years. Shot 6 or 7 deer (crop damage permits) and a black bear. Beautiful rifle that handled great but as OldWin said, it's a lot of iron to pack around when you're hunting small big game. I'm a walking hunter and it wasn't doing anything for me ...

I love the ones that came on my Kimber. The night sights that glow in dark.

And as far as battery life, I've had great life out of all mine. The Moultrie been there since mid March, last I checked I believe it showed 90% still, that's 8AA battery's. Most use 8, but the Browning is only one I've seen which holds 6 AA.

Drawdown

Doc, I had 2 Stealth Cams that I used for several years, one was good, one was not much. They where identical, cheap. Now I've run one the cheapest Moultries I could get at Walmart, aprox $50, and it's been great, really perfect. I had a really cheap Tasco a buddy gave me that seemed to be doing goo...

Welcome, and you've come to the right place for Leverguns Lovers! Growing up reading the old adventure stories of mainly B.C., is what give me my love for levers, and there you are already there! If you ain't careful you'll be buying a new gun cabinet before long

A 6" S&W 357 was always my pistol, mine a Mod 19. I kinda abandoned it when I started packing 4" 45acp, because it's so light and handy, but the S&W is my first love! Good shooting!

One of the new products I have started using for a special purpose, Gun Medic. To clean a bolt, trigger assembly, tight spots in fishing reels, etc. Spray it out good with Gun Scrubber, the aerosol kind, which I've used for years, it is under pressure. Just recently I got a Tikka Bolt Action made in...

Good looking setup YK. I'm a firm believer in Ballistol. To clean any barrel I've shot, swab it first with Hoppes #9 PS, brush it. Then do the same again with Ballistol. If I know I'll be shooting it again within months, I just dry it, I'm done. If it's gonna be a while, I'll go over it last with oi...

I sure miss his post. He's a wealth of Levergun knowledge & info, and great pics of the subject!

I knew a search would find a good man busy! Good to see you Pitchy, and still hammering!
Most all of us I believe, got to keep hammering Quit working a garden, it's soon runover with weeds, disease, or something for sure!

Oh OK, I see. I've never tried that, loading a bullet backwards!

Looks like rabbit medicine to me! If you're looking to do any testing with any other bullets, I've recently tried some Speer 130gr H.C. with a minimum load of 3031. In my 20" 94, they're grouping at squirrel hunting accuracy at 30-40yds. Didn't chrono them, didn't matter.

Yes Bill, go right ahead its worth a try! I've searched a number of times, questioned, but never gotten any answers. It's obvious these two spent a lot of time together in the B.C. Wilderness! And I've read others acknowledge Bones plenty times, but always in relation to him just in the time spent w...

My Tikka LSA 65 in 30-06, bolt gun, and my Mod 64 in 30-30! They'd do everything I wanted to do there!

I've probably asked this before, but I've never started or seen a thread about him. It's obvious from reading 3 of Townsend Whelens books, numerous other articles and articles other people have written about him. But best I can tell, Whelens first trip ever to the far north- B.C., was in fact the tr...

Congrats on a great rifle and a cartridge I'd like to get to know! And yes more pics are welcomed.
