I am selling a No1 Mk 3 SMLE and a Central Arms sight to a mate in a month or so and putting the money in a hidey hole until around the end of this year when I am looking at getting a 45.70 , likely a Marlin but a quality single shot holds lots of appeal for me . Between my Browning BL22 , Rossi .35...

Jacko

Thanks for the reply's fella's rjohns , I notice you have a larger lever fitted , did you put a short stroke kit through your rifle as well . My hand barely fits in my standard lever but the long throw has me concerned a larger lever loop would slow down cycling the action . Thankfullu jeepnik the t...

I finally got to the range to try out the Skinner sight set I have put on my Rossi 92 .357 mag . I am happy with these dovetail mounted Peep sights , good looking , simple , rugged and inexpensive and when I do my part accurate . Trouble is when using the smallest aperture , a .050 the target is out...

Thanks for the sentiment Pops , appreciate the thought . I wish I had the proof of serial numbers etc . This rotten act is what woke me up and I started keeping the serial numbers ,registered my rifles and got a Qld gun licence pre Port Arthur , my apathy cost my family an heirloom . This happened 1...

Real nice find there Pop Watts . My Dad handed down to me the Model 62 Winchester pump action .22 that fed his family through the early and mid 30's on a farm out Goulburn way so I have a real soft spot for fine old pump actions . Sadly it got stolen in a burglary in the mid 90's .

Fella's I was at a SCI show last weekend and spotted a Chapius double rifle in .375 H & H , XXXXXX grade timber , beautifully carved and checkered , engraved and silver inlaid receiver the whole deal , believe me I stood there for 20 minutes doing the math how many years it would add to my home ...

Tonight I assured my wife I've bought my last rifle [ Yeh right :wink: ] , unless of coarse an opportunity to go Asiatic buffalo hunting comes along 8) - then of coarse I will need a 45.70 :D - no mistaking the look I got . There is only so many times "Gotta have the right tool will work" ...

Jacko

I have lusted after a Lever Action for a little while now so I bought a .357 mag Rossi with a 25" octagonal barrel a couple of months ago - absolutly love the thing , always dragging it out of the gunsafe and admiring it and it shoots real straight - will be a top hunting rifle , thought that w...

Jacko

Thanks fella's

were a bit behind downunder - just watched the episode a few weeks back where Ziva shoots her 1/2 brother the assasin . Abby's the hottie , cracks me up Dinozo and Ziva's running power struggle .

The barrel mounted peep for my 45 year old eyes offers an excellant sight picture much more precise than the buckhorn , works just like a receiver mounted peep for me . I have an Lee Enfield with a receiver mounted Central Arms peep and comparing the shorter sight radius with the barrel mounted Skin...

Jacko

I'm not sure if you are interested in non receiver mounted peeps but have a look at http://skinnersights.com/ I have one of his dovetail mounted peeps and am impressed with it no end . I also bought his short dovetail peep and a front sight blade for my Rossi .357 . Just rugged , great value and qua...

Never one to follow advice I allowed my 10 year girl to watch the horror - now she's laughing hystericly running about the place pretending to spray , - I should have listened

Just letting out a little greif here folks , thinking aloud - I have little experience with bushfires , just helped put a few fires out on properties I hunt on - I have no knowledge of fire to draw on other than my own observations . I have never been so upset about anything other than friends or fa...

Jacko

Thanks to everyone for offering their prayers for the bushfire victims in Victoria . The death toll will top sadly top 200 with over 1 million acres of land burnt . There is still a few dozen fires burning that could turn nasty with a simple wind change . My heart is breaking , I have found myself i...

I ordered a Skinner sight last week for my new Rossi lever action , pretty sure it's new manufactured in mid to late 08 , maybe Rossi are using correct size dovetail now ??. My gunsmith knocked out the rear sight for me and miked the dovetail at .380 [ Im sure .380 is 3/8" in hundredths ] , tol...

My Marlin 782 bolt action really likes the Winchester Super X and the Remington 40 grain fmj . Any 30 grain stuff I've tried won't group better than 2" @50 yards . I do not discount it though as thats a head shot rabbit - would like to try the Hornady V Max ammunition - might buy some next pay ...

Jacko

Thanks for the advice fella's , I had wondered about the placement of the tang mounted peep and if it affected the grip you have on the stock , particully under recoil . I have blocky hands so will look into it . Perhaps this is why the gunsmith showed me the Lyman receiver mounted peep sight ! What...

Gidday Pop , I live 40 k's north of Brisbane , what sold you on the Chiapia ? . I am really looking forward to hunting with this rifle . I said I would change my mind 6 times before I pick the rifle up about the sights - am interested to look into the tang sight you mentioned in a few weeks . I have...

I'm impressed a Kiwi can type Griff :shock: , sorry :D could not resist . New Zealand has great hunting opportuities like , Chamois , Thar , Wapiti , Sitka deer etc Griff it's cheaper for me to fly to New Zealand and hunt red deer with a guide for a week than it is for me to hunt red deer 60 kilomet...

Jacko

At work today I was thinking about how a tang mounted peep would go on the Rossi , I like the authentic feel it would add to the rifle . Much more streamlined than than a receiver mounted Lyman peep I priced . Have thought about a set of ghost rings and fibre optics as well . I have never seen a tan...

Folks you will be pleased to hear Speedo's , we call em Budgie smugglers , are definatly a social phopar downunder . Board shorts are standard fare though their is a refreshing trend for fit young ladies to wear G string Bikini's and shoot lever action rifles [ often at the same time ] . For $6000 a...

Jacko

Well after weeks of wasting time deciding what rifle I wanted I settled on a .357 mag Handi rifle 8) - None in stock at the new distributors :o and will have to wait for a couple of months for a new shipment to arrive Downunder ! I'm not that patient :x So plan B was put into motion - I went to the ...

Have a look through this link http://303british.com/, have not looked through for your answer but an interesting read anyhow I have a 1942 Lithgow SMLE no 3* , wonderfully slick bolt action . I have never seen my fired cases look anything like those described or pictured . I know the SMLE has varied...

WOW 8) :D Mescalero1 - I'm blown away with the generous offer . I really do not know how to thank you enough but unfortunatly the government has private importing of firearms and parts so tied up in red tape it is not a viable option ! Unfortunatly I must decline the kind offer . Transfer of ownersh...

Oh and a m...

I do like what I have learned about of twist rate in the 44 magnum barrels , why manufacturers want to hamstring a cartridge is beyond me , when I think of big bore cartridges I want the choice for heavy thumping bullets that can shoot accuratly . None the less a 44 magnum does hold a lot of appeal ...

Jacko

Thanks for all the reply's fella's , answering plenty of questions I have and plenty of background info . I have bowhunted for 30 plus years so even with firearms I like to see the whites of there eyes so to speak . This is why I decided on a big bore pistol cartridge . I have a .303 if I wanna shoo...

Thanks for the link Jaguarundi , answered plenty of questions for me and started me thinking - I had considered the 45 colt as it is cabable of delivering a bigger wallop than the .44 . But I figured the .44 magnum would be a better propositiion as I am not sure on handloading , cost of reloading ge...

This is my first post and I am looking for advice to convince me I want my first lever action rifle or a H & R Handi rifle in .44 magnum , I was looking at a 45.70 but $3.00 a round is hard to justify to the missus . I can shoot a .44 magnum for 80...
