Re: My Taylors Takedown 44 magnum carbine
bobo06, This is the factory rear sight with rail all in one. I decided to keep the peep sight on in case I need to remove the red dot. I have decide that I am interested in the Taylors 1892 Tackdown, the Marlin Cowboy, or the Henry Big Boy Color Case Hardened 20" barreled rifle. I do not want t...

My Taylors Takedown 44 magnum carbine
I have pretty much finished my project. My eye sight at 68+ ain't exactly 20/20. I can not focus on both the rear and the front sights quick enough to acquire my target. This is where the Vortex SPARC Solar red dot with a battery life of 150,000 hours comes in handy. With both eyes open, the adjusta...

Re: New to Leverguns.com and I got some questions.
Thanks, Grif and Leverlover! I am more into practical experiences with a 16” lever gun. I will be shooting factory Ammo and sparingly at that. I am retired without a pension and have only my SS monthly check. However, I took on a part time job for “play money.” Up until recently, I saw no reason for...

Re: New to Leverguns.com and I got some questions.
What I enjoyed in hunting calibers, keeping it simple, was that my custom 25/06 with 117 or 120 grn rounds had the identical trajectory as my Tika Lite 300 WSM 165 grn round. Both were scoped in at 3 inches high at 100 yards and were 3 inches low at 350 yards. Daddy could put meat on the table and c...

Re: New to Leverguns.com and I got some questions.
I am more concerned about trajectory these rounds perform from a 16 inch barrel. I purchased this 44 lever gun, along with the 357 mag version, in order to have a partnership with the revolvers. I know about revolver performances - trajectory from shooting the 44 special for several years. I appreci...

New to Leverguns.com and I got some questions.
I have owned several 22 and 22 mag rifles in my earlier years. I bought a Winchester carbine in 44 mag but shot 44 special and it was good for under 50 yard shots. After that, there was horrible accuracy. I kept it long enough to get rid of it. I stuck to 22 cal. leverguns after that (1970's - 2000)...
