Re: gettysburg....

Hi All, I accompanied a couple of Boy Scout Troops to Gettysburg a couple of summers ago, spending a couple of days as tourists before going up Route 15 to spend a week at BSA summer camp. We got a general overview, then spent an afternoon following Pickett's Charge. You could spend a lot of time th...

Very nice rifle !! I'm seeing a 400 grain hard cast WFN at about 1500 fps, and lots of dead moose, elk, bear, and about anything else you can imagine !!

Re: THE Most AMAZING Levergun Shot I've ever seen

Hi All,

My brother has a Marlin 336 in 375 Win, and I sent him the URL for Wind's last long range shooting spree.

Like my brother, I probably couldn't see the 800 yard dinger, and would have trouble seeing the 400 yarder.

Great shooting!!

Re: OT-Revolving Carbine

Hi All, I've always gone the other way with this concept. I shoot 45 Colt in my Puma 92. You can get a lot of juice from a small package. Lets have a rifled barrel, and a 410 sized cartridge that shoots a 350 grain 45 cal (475 ??) bullet at 1600 fps. Elk, moose, big bear, cape buffalo......these wer...

Hi All,

As I recall, JD Jones makes a 50-70 barrel for the Contender, and a sweet looking thumb-hole stock. After what was essentially a 99.9% failure rate, he quit putting scopes on the rifle. They're available with iron sights only. :mrgreen:
