My first day of hunting - 22 years ago - was for doves, A day I'll always remember. The gun used was my Grandmothers 20 ga. side-by-side LC Smith field grade. I still have the gun but only gets used on special occasions - hopefully the day will come when my 4 year old son or his twin sister will tot...

OK - I am in the market for a new pair of leather boots. Not really for hard core hunting - just knocking around the house, doing outside chores, and wearing around town on the weekends. I am leaning towards a pair of work/wellington leather Red Wings pull-ons. I never owned Red Wings, but I think t...

Mine was on a Winchester 9422 about a month after they said they were shutting down the plant. I actually walked into the gunshop to get a copy of his FFL to send out for one for $350 - I asked "how much" and he said $200 - I bought it on the spot - near mint late 70's version - no checker...

AndyM

I have had good luck with Hornady 350 FP and Remington 405. I do not know if they are the "best" but they sure work on Eastern Whitetails and Black Bears

AndyM

good going - glad to hear that you got out. I tried, but was not able too...

I thought about thinning the herd and got so sick I had to go lie down. I worked hard and long to get to the point I could have a herd and I'm loathe to be rid of them. :wink: + like, a zillion! :shock: I keep fainting every time I read the title and contemplate... ME TOO! It makes me sick to think...

Great Job - good shooting. thanks for posting...

AndyM

This was a good choice. Sounds like she can stand up to anyone. She sold the state jet on E-Bay! CNBC says she is solid pro-gun lifetime member of the NRA and is a hunter. She'll get my vote.

AndyM

I use a Lee FCD for all my lever loads and they have proven to improve accuracy for my loads.
I am also a huge fan and do recommend them when loading lever action rounds

AndyM

My Winchester 88 shoots better with fac. ammo and any of the bolts guns I have owned in the past. I've seen some BLR's shoot great also...

AndyM

Very nice and sounds like a decent deal- all should be happy

AndyM

wow! very cool

AndyM

Thanks, fellas ! :oops: I didn't have the wampum, either, Joe - as I just sold a few gunz to pay an unexpected expense. But, then...................My wife sorta agitated, for me to take her gambling on our Anniversary last week - and then suggested I actually play one of them slot machines, instea...

Remember you have to pay for quality... The first one coming to mind is Doug Turnbull http://www.turnbullrestoration.com/ I never had any dealings with him, although I do have an older sales flyer, his stuff sure does look nice, but expensive... The typical gun magazines sure do write about him quit...

AndyM

A while back there were some posts on metal and steel rifle targets. I should have book marked the links within those posts, but did not. Can the same people who provided the links as to where to purchase online metal rifle targets, please do so again? I am thinking about purchasing some type of met...

cool pictures, thanks for sharing...

I think the guy in the picture should look a little more happier with an animal like that!
The rack looks like it is in velvet but the person in the picture is bundled up pretty good with fleece and cap on - so it must have been chilly.

AndyM

Great post...
I get so upset when people still claim the 45-70 is a poor killer of game because of its slow velocity

that is right spot on.

AndyM

I use 28g of H322 and Horn. 170 FP. This has proven an accurate combo in my Winchesters and has also shot good out of a 14" contender barrel I once owned.

AndyM

NICE -

Great pic's thanks for posting...

AndyM

At 30 yards max - I would be going with 180gr XTP. I think the 158's would probably open up alittle more, but I like to place my bets on penetration - a lead hard-cast would be close in the running also.

AndyM

I shoot 44-40 a bunch, and have found that W231 or Titegroup work better than anything else I have tried, including 2400 and 4227. Both shot very clean, and leave zero unburned powder. Titegroup is my favorite of the two. :) I have also used Titegroup with good success. I use this powder for both 4...

with a million or so hunters in the woods on the first day of deer season here in Pennsylvania - I've heard alot of bad things and read about some in the newspapers. I will say that all the hunters I hunt with are honorable people.

AndyM

pretty cool - I think I saw this before.
I am surprised that some slob hunter was not on the bridge trying to shot it and take it home with him.

AndyM

$95 in 1966 was probably a heck of alot of money - somehow I remember my father telling me he bought his (now mine) Winchester 88 back then for over $100. This is a pre-64 mod.88 and a 5 digit ser.#

Very Nice - great shooting - and great rifle - love those Sharps.
Sure do not see many of those buffs around York PA

AndyM

I agree - to each his own. I like full mags the best, but if I had a chance to purchase a good 1892 or 1873 with a short or button tube - I would in a heart beat. I do not think 92 sized actions look all that bad with a button mag.

AndyM

When I think of survivalism - I think of New Orleans a few short years ago. Total lawlessness and the so-called police where nowhere to be found. It was up to you to protect your life and those around you. I think, when/if faced with that situation - I would grab my Glock 23 and load the Puma 92 in ...

Yeah, they are all mighty cooperative before they start to nest.

Get what you need while she's acting like it's OK with her.

from a happily married man like myself - that is funny - good luck

I shot one deer with the .357. It was a small whitetail doe at about 25 yds. I used Remington green box 180 gr. and had complete penetration. This was with a S&W 6" 586 handgun. Out of a rifle - I would try the Hornady 180 - those XTP seem to be built to withstand alot and still hold togeth...

Do not overlook the Kel-Tec .380 P-3AT Carrying that gun in my back pocket in a KD Holster http://kdholsters.com/pdc.php is thinner and more concealable than my normal money wallet. At something like 10 ounces and 6 or 7 rounds of either hardball or Federal Hydro-shocks - I would be able to protect ...

They don't have any pictures on their site of individual bullets. Do you know if the .45 255gr SWCS are flat or bevel based?

+1 on this... Peaceable trade - no one should feel offended. The shopkeeper needs to buy it low enough to still sell it, account for the paperwork, and cover his cost of capital if it doesn't sell fast, and make a profit. He is in business, and this makes perfect sense. The seller owns the property,...

Welcome - a couple of us from PA are here.

nice rifle and nice pictures. I always thought a mod. 24 with .223 over a 12 ga. would be the best walking varmint rifle there is.

Don't forget to post the pictures with the 405 and the goat.

Where online, should I be looking if I wanted to buy just a barrel for an old beat up 1892 Winchester. I am looking around for a 44 WCF barrel and can not seem to even remotely come close to finding one. I figured this group should be able to help. Are there any Winchester part stores out there?
