i have one of those - keep it down in montana ...... great prairie dog rifle extremely accurate ( have 2 actually - keep one here in alaska ) and have one in 22 LR ... and then got one in 30 carbine and in 256 winchester .... all of them are great shooters i think they made a few in 22 Jet but i hav...

would be fun to have a takedown model and have the shotgun barrel and a rifle barrel.

never have seen a rolling block in 32/20... that is neat ! i did pick up a uberti rolling block in 357, that is quite dainty. it should be a fun little shooter too. the only 32/20s i have now, are pumps: remington model 25s [ a carbine and a rifle ] and a marlin model 27 pump. they are amazing small...

yes, it is. : )

I have been tempted by a BLR in 358 ! excellent combination. but I have 3 Winchesters in 356 [ actually 4: I have a brand new BigBore 94 in 356 and also in 307....still in their boxes with hanging tags and all papers etc one of the kids can sell that pair one day and do well..... or keep them and do...

wow! those are just superb !!

have had several 32 specials, really like that caliber. the only one I still have is a marlin model 36 … made the same year I was: 1947 https://i.imgur.com/AGgIVYT.jpg need to hunt with it, maybe next year Betcha the rifle is a lot better looking than you are these days. :D you sure got that right ...

hfcable

true ! i personally have leverguns in at least 33 different calibers. [ used to be more ]

hfcable

Would have to say the 22lr. I enjoy my 39a. Now if you go centerfire, then, although I do like the 30-30, I would have to say the 356 Win. Just like the larger bore. I generally reach for the 356 for hunting. I have several and it does whomp 'em. I stocked up on ammo, and brass, etc years ago. some...

hfcable

that is a superb little rifle. hard to find too.

have a friend who had 2 of them, but he sold them when they go so valuable.

hfcable

Nice data. the first few on the list are as I pretty much imagined. I am a bit suprised the 44-40 was not slightly more represented. 71 owners of the 454 casull is eye opening, must be a decent % of entire 454 production numbers. and the 11 owners of 480s represent 11% of the total production [ I h...

yes, it is the CB model. neat little beauty. you can use a reamer [ and headspace gauge etc ] and extend the chamber to take the 327 magnum.. my gun didnt need anything else done, it fed the 327s just fine with no modifications. makes a really handy versatile rifle. and they are quite rare. glad i g...

I don't actually have a favourite but speaking of BLRs..... I met a kid in the woods on opening day this saturday past carrying a BLR .308. He said that it was his granddad's and that between the original owner, his dad's elder brothers, his dad and now himself, it had slain well over a hundred dee...

This would have to be my favorite now. It is a Browning 1886 45-70 made in 1986. I really would love to get an original but for now this one is fun to shoot. Next two guns I want to get are the Uberti 73 in 44-40 and the 76 in 45-75. Would love to have an original in either of those but that may ha...

And a Happy Birthday to you as well! I was in my mid 50's before I met the first person who shared Nov. 8th of any year as their birthday.

I truly believe the vast majority of people already have their head out.....or it was never in. The real problem is it doesn't matter. The last few days have been proof of that.

critters who try to argue with the 45/70, only do that once !

hfcable

i like that one, and thats exactly the kind i enjoy taking with me.

hfcable

well, that shows you have your priorities right , in my opinion.

though it is hard to find one of these. i got this one probably 20 years ago

hfcable

that 25/35 is a classic and really classy. one of my favorite calibers and in an excellent configuration ! a real balanced beautiful hunting rifle !

somewhere i have pictures of those sights, they have multiple folding leaves, and a folding ladder with slide etc the tang sight is really nice too. here are a couple : https://i.imgur.com/7tJXZJv.jpg https://i.imgur.com/GhCG56O.jpg i have another 50/95 but it is just an old pump gun..... made by co...

me too... so one day i found one:

Scott, havent seen your name in a while !! good to hear from you !!

this is my all time favorite, probably showed you this one the last time someone asked me this:

model 1886 in 45/70. love everything about it - looks , balance and handling, and performance !

I have two of the marlin 410s, one a shooter grade, the other very nice, BUT have never seen a deluxe for sale. that is just a a terrific beauty. we have shot a lot of grouse with ours.

why aren't there any 20 ga.?, only .410 way back , Marlin made a 20 gauge lever action prototype based on the original model 1895 receiver... there are pictures in Brophy's book I think\ I have the Kessler 20 gauge, the 1920s marlin original 410, a Winchester 1901 ten gauge, and a repro winchester ...

box says " adapted to the Winchester model 70" and the model 70 came out in the 30's [ 1936, I believe ] preceded by the model 54

I have the same goal... to have a representative example of all the major 22 lever guns, not all the variations just the major models ....

Sounds like the perfect hunt scenario for guys our age! No hiking, no long hauls, and quickly over; except for the field dressing! Congratulations! yes, so true.having had 5 back surgeries, torn both rotator cuffs, etc packing anything much distance is out of the question. would have to camp there ...

hfcable

NICE!! I like it when a hunt comes together like that. What bullet did you use in the 356? Where did you the butt stock cartridge holder ? the buttstock cartridge holder also serves as an elevator for the comb of the rifle so your eye lines up behind the scope quite well and gives a good lock on th...

thanks guys ! yes, later on it gets dark really early . right now we are losing at least 5 minutes of daylight per day the 356 ammo was 220 gr hornady hand load, a warmish load... seems to work well : ) it should be good eating ..... even a big bull is good eating IF you let the meat age properly it...

thanks fellows !

we had some for breakfast a day later, and since it wasn't aged yet, it was chewy but great... no " game taste" at all

we still have a lot of work to do processing it the rest of the way.

Another place there's a lot of 425 expertise is the Savage Collectors Forum on www.24hourcampfire.com/forums. I think there's a sticky at the front of the forum with 425 info. They AREN'T common, that's for sure. The .25 Remington "rimless .25-35" seems to be the rarest. Not sure why Sava...

for some patients they work extremely well. most patients get significant benefit. severe complications are fortunately rare. most importantly needs to be done by someone with a lot of experience.
