Depends on the time of the year, from what I have seen . I have one receiver with fitted barrels for 223; 30/30; 30/06/ ; 45/70 ; and 3 1/2 IN 12Gauage ALL fit well and all shoot well Some better than others but that has nothing to do with the fit of the barrels its an individual thing with the fore...

I LOVE those H&Rs I have to get my butt on line and get a few pictures of mine here Both 30/30s here are nice to look at

Bluehawk

Sorry I dont have my data here right now on 25/20 ZMine is a Marlin 94cl . I sot the Remington 86 grain bullet for years then switched to the 75 grain Speer it shoots better out of that gun I would imagine that the Winchester may have enough differences that bullet weight and length may be different...

Bluehawk

Several thoughts . For self defense I would get a nice stainless OM Ruger Vaquero ( Or New M)and load it with BP Cartridges in 45 Colt I would not feel undergunned at all AND you can escape in the smoke screen :lol: I love the idea of the 32/20 for your small stuff First regular Ground Hog hunting I...

Jack nice pics That primer is scarey . IM hoping someone can figure this out from the other post it appears all the bases are covered in what MAY have happened . Now im not sure whatI want to do with my 5744 that I have left been using it for so long and with success ,but now im scared . Looks like ...

WOW I have never seen one in 44 Special I OWNED one in 44/40 I liked it and woud love to have one in 44 spl. I have always wanted a Henry in that cal , and there was one run of them made for either Dixie or Cimarron about 8 or nine years ago ,from what I have learned , in the Henry I inquired at the...

I picked up an H&R in 45/70 last fall . It is not the most pleasant shooting one i have ever owned .BUT its better than the 45/70 Contender istol i had many years ago :lol: IT is very accurate and handles the bullet weights fomr 400 down to 300 well It di dnot like any thing over 400 I have had ...

Bluehawk

To answer the first question You CAN use a 30/30 for defense but its not the optimum weapon in home . AGAIN there are no cases ever of any one bringing up the question in court of relaoded ammo FORGET THAT IN THE EQUATION Do YOu beleive its a life and death situation ??????? If so use what ever is h...

Bluehawk

GAs checks work if you are pushing the velocity of any round . I use them ( right now ) for only one bullet and one round,thats the 30 cal RCBs 180 FN I load that to about 1900 in my 30/30 rifles it casts about 195 W lube and gas check ready to go . I do not see the reason to go over that in a 30/30...

JACK First im glad your Ok and the gun is OK I have to echo what everyone else is saying here and you alreaddy know A LOT OF US ARE USING IT AND USING A LOT OF IT I even used it for a while in my 25/20 Marlin gave me the nicest groups of any thing I ever used in that gun Stopped using it only due to...

Bluehawk

Actually its a good step in correcting how it was written in the digest from the beginning. the digest had the HOGS listed and written as DOMESTIC ANIMALS If that had stood then anyone killing one would have been liable under the Pa Crimes Code Section 5511 which prohibits killing any DOMESTIC ANIMA...

`Neat sight I have never seen one like that before . Thanx for showing it

Bluehawk

Your right Hobie At first I thouhg it was a 95 but it is a 99 Or appears to be any way
Id love to know what cal. it is and the story too that has to be the odd one there COOL picture though

Bluehawk

Sixgun mentions it as a woods loafing gun AND IT IS but not much any more in Penna. AND I SEE THAT'S WHERE YOU ARE FROM . Its a great round I use it for fall turkey in Pa and as a turkey gun the only equal IMHO is the 25/20 . I use it when my son uses my 25/20 BUT since Pa banned hunting small game ...

MY Ruger BIsley in 45 colt was made when there was only one barrel length. I had to have mine cut down to 5.5Inches. INHO it is the best all around length for carrying .
I wish I could have got one with the 45 ACP cylinder It woud make it much more versatile YOurs is a beaut

MR Fields its a shame you just missed the Allentown show and you could have taken some of the stuff and or pictures there and compared what dealers had on the tables to check out the selling prices .

Sorry comming late to this thread I am having great success in my one 30/30 with 30 Grains of varget and the RCBS 180 GC Was shooting 30.5 Varget which was OK vbut reducing it one half grain made it even better . Have not Chronied them but figure right above 1900 I also like Varget in my MI 47 Grain...

It's easy to obtain that velocity its called the 30/40 Krag

not the 30/30

Bluehawk

Noah Little trivia the S&W 76 got its model number from when it first was introduced . It was to be available only to Law Enforcement agencies and it was there fore priced at $76.00 to them only so they decided to call it the 76

Bluehawk

I have owned three in that cal Ruger , Sako and an custom Jaejer of Jenkintown rifle ALL liked 4350 quite well all shot the 235 Speer very well but I had trouble with the Ruger #1 with it I do not recal the specific loads right now since its been at least 6 years since I had one in 375 H&H

Bluehawk

Noah I agree with you too SIxgun alreaddy knows what I think

By the way Noah is that a Smith 76???

Bluehawk

I have no idea why they were discontinued . I found one for my best friend for his wife to get him for his 60th birthday . It had been converted fomr 30/06 to 300 H&H . It shoots EXTREMELY WELL very accurate and has been rliable now for over 18 months since i got it for him . It shoots the 165 g...

Almost the exact same load . I tested that bullet in my Ruger Blackhawk Bisley while testing for the Rodeo. Tested Unique and three other powders at the same time . Setteled on Unique. I went as High as 9grains of Unique and had no trouble with the gun. but did not like the "Feel" of the g...

Bluehawk

Actually I did do that last year during the small game season I was NOT clean it ended up lint filled

Bluehawk

Hobie there was a small run done around 1990 ( or so ) by either Cimaron or Navy( it was an Uberti) in the Henry, in 44 Spl . I know this is late , but im catching up on the old threads . It would be my vote

Bluehawk

Thanks guys for this thread It just reminded me that the aperture from my sight on my 94 is sitllin my pocket of my one set of hunting pants from taning it out I gotta get thout out before it hits the washer and gets lost

I use "Shotgun " type sling on mine Use it also on single shots i roolit up then put it on if I need to sling the rifle for some reason
I tried the nylon ones but they slip and rub the blue too much for my taste went to the leather ones instead .
