Leverguns Headsup

Post by Drawdown »

I just got my Guns&Hunting Issue of Sporting Classics Magazine yesterday. I haven't read any yet, only thumbed thru it so far. It looks like it might be the best Leverguns articles since Rifle Magazines special editions? It's not that in depth I'm sure, but it sure looks interesting, Lotta history about the old levers! Articles by Rick Hacker, Wayne Van Zwoll, but one I'm most interested in reading is an article written by Theodore S Van Dyke over 100 years ago about "The Rifle of The Future ". I have his book, Still Hunting, written in 1882, and it was the gospel according to Ted Roosevelt! He sure knowed what he was writing about, so bet this article is good!
One on the 44-40 I saw, and 30-30! Saving this read for a rainy day!

The rifle in the first pic of this thread, the cover photo, is Doug Turnbulls own late 1800's Mod 86 he restored and bored to 475 Turnbull. I'm 99% sure that's the rifle he used to take a Dall Sheep (could've been a Big Horn Sheep, but I believe a Dall) in the far north. It doesn't tell this in this magazine anywhere I've found yet. I read about it right afterwards, aprox 3-4 years ago. 250yds?+-shot, when all the hype is, you got to have a 500yd+ capable rifle to hunt sheep! Looks like his cheat sheet still taped to the barrel??

I wish I had had that article by Mr Hill when I was arguing with the Police that the .30/30 was suitable for Fox control, it took me a long time to prove "just cause" for having a .30/30 on my license. Stupid UK gun laws... :roll: However the other article praising the good old .30/30 I would not have mentioned to the Police .. :lol:

I'd sure like that Mod 94 in Van Dykes article, 26" half oct-round barrel, tang sight!

Sorry about all the upside down and sideways, I'm just lucky to post them, much less correct it.
