Maybe it was on Marlin forum, but I also saw a thread recently where the group size was way smaller from a .45-70 or .444 when the rounds were singly loaded and fired, vs. a fully loaded magazine present. I'd expect little measurable difference whether the individual round was fed through a magazine...

Thirty years ago after a break-in :evil: we recorded our answering machine message to say :twisted: : "Please leave a message - we may be in town buying some nice stuff you can steal next time we're gone. Or . . . we may be sitting up on the hill behind the house with a .30-06 just to wait for ...

I just came across the thread last week where someone had repeated case splits (ring splits or front separations) in their Puma .454 and the theory was .45 LC loads had pitted or crudded up the front of the chamber and were causing excess pressure somehow. 1) anyone know what ever happened with that...

We didn't have the spare cash at the time to get my son's first buck professionally mounted, but a friend advised us to do a "Texas Mount" which he described as the skull and antlers on a plaque. My son was ok with that, so we asked how to do it. The answer was "just hang it out where...

Why not shoot a 44 mag. ? 44 Mag. would be approx. same length as 44-40. Mag. is a stronger case. If you look at the cartridge dimensions, the .44-40 is VERY close to the diameter of the .444 at the base, whereas the .44 Mag is significantly smaller diameter. I think the .44-40 would be supported w...

(Sarcasm ON...) All you guys must be evil racists, because the only reason anyone could hate that man would be if they are racist!

I let my wife carry it only once - she fell into a muddy ditch while hunting with it. I made sure the rifle was OK before I helped her out the ditch. Something she has never forgiven me for... You dummy, you're supposed to have HER check to see if the gun is ok, then hand it to you for verification...

In my not-so-humble-opinion, property taxes should be abolished, not just reduced, but we just tried that in Indiana and got a "compromise" where they were slightly reduced for some people, (but increased for others), in "exchange" for raising other taxes. In the end, we're payin...

I want to test mine off the bench this summer with different loads, but my 44 mag will usually do 5 shots/3" at 100 yards if I do my part.

I was intrigued by the single-load vs. loaded magazine post on the .45-70

The REAL heroes are usually un-sung, but of course the real ones don't mind themselves. We mind, on their behalf, and out of principle, though.

I have a B-Square on two long barrel Pumas (44 mag and 357 mag) and like them. Both I've used short, light scopes on, because the torque could be great with a long or heavy one. No problems with a 4x 20mm or a Barska 3-9 IR compact, though. Ejection hasn't been a problem with these particular guns -...

I've seen less of that on guns where the frame has more clearance between cylinder and top strap, and less of it if the cylinder-barrel gap is thin.

The revolver is an Uberti and it is 2/3rds the size of a full size SAA clone. I got this specifically with the idea that this would be a great transition from .22 rimfires to centerfires. What do you (or any others out there) think of the little Ruger Bearcat's - they had the re-issued ones at the ...

We laugh at the 'banana republics' and third-world dictatorships, yet we are already living in a socialist police state.

You sound like Ted Nugent - "You can't GRILL it if you don't KILL it!" Heard him speak at the NRA meetings yesterday - if you get a chance to see/hear it, it was very motivating. Essentially, he admonished the crowd that if we weren't being PROACTIVE on gun rights, and just settled for &qu...

I like GunVault - they have a website I think, but I got mine from DillonPrecision. I didn't get the one with the biometric thing. Reliable for 15 years or so now.

A peep sight out on the barrel will be too far from your eye to work properly. Not trying to start an arguement - but I mounted a Williams WGRS peep in the forward pair of scope-mount holes on my Marlin 1894c - and it's works just fine. Maybe the peep hole is larger than most? Anyways, I used the f...

Which model fit the Puma? Did you have to D&T it? I think they sell it for their rifle model 62. I have one on each one of my four Puma's. The long/octagonal Pumas are already drilled and tapped, and the round carbine ones weren't. Easy to do, just be sure you center the hole and punch before d...

I was there today, and saw Ted Nugent - I wish ALL OUR PREDIDENTIAL CANDIDATES were as clearly spoken. I'm so sick of wishy-washy politicians who are afraid to express an opinion, or even afraid to THINK. It is sad but true that the Republicans always pick candidates who are "Democrat-Lite"...

What's really nice about the bigger bores (over .45) is that those huge chunks of wide lead don't have to be going very fast to do the job; so you CAN use light loads for full effect. My ideal gun would be a 500 S&W or similar round in a beefier Marlin 1894 action. Put it in high gear for punish...

Consider buying a $30 red-dot scope to practice with first - zero magnification, which translates to UNLIMITED eye relief, and very insensitive to the parallax phenomenon.
