40-65 Bullard And Mule Deer
I finally got a deer with the 40-65 Bullard. It wasn't a trophy by any means, but I had a doe tag for mule deer and got this one with one shot at 120 yards right through the heart...

Nice. It's great to do it with a beautiful old gun like that! Well done.

A fine looking rifle, congratulations on the Mule deer. Looks like a good choice of camo for the terrain too.

Nice going. Nice to see another Bullard in the group. Mine could be a twin except mine has a pistol grip. Have you got the Bullard books? I hope to shoot a Buffalo with mine (40-75-260) this winter. Is yours a true 40-65 or 40-75 ?

Very nice! Wish we had any deer season this late! Even our doe season is mid October.

Re: 40-65 Bullard And Mule Deer
It appears the fore stock overlaps the action, unlike most leverguns. Interesting design. I remember looking up the patent drawings for it, but that was many years ago and I don't recall the details. I seem to recall the single shot and repeater were similar.
edit: Here's more on the Bullard.
