Re: Primers!

It’s even better when you can lineup birthday pricing with free shipping!

They also did “Keith” and “Texas” in 44 Mag still loading them too!
I never got any but think they did “Cooper” in 45 ACP and “Sharpe” in 357 Mag

Re: Miroku Winchester's

I had a Browning 1895 in 30-06 for over 20 years, but always admired the 1895 SRC after seeing this pic IMG_1449.jpeg Saw one of the Winchester 30-06 Centennial models when they came out after 2006 at a local Gander Mountain (GM is long gone now) but couldn’t get at that time. I sold off the Brownin...

Re: Chairmen of the Politically Incorrect

jdad,
Pound for pound the price doesn’t sound too bad :(
This little 9 pounder had surgery on his right rear leg about 5 years ago, $4,500 :o

Re: 30-30 Shootn

I had my Marlin 336 BL, 30-30 out yesterday. Just got a new scope for it, Leupold 2.5X Ultralight. I decided to try some Nosler 170gr partitions, but they were the Federal factory loads. Only shot it at 50 yards (my earmuffs broke in half when I was moving to a 100 yard bench). It shot great at 50 y...

Re: 45 ACP SIXGUN

I had a 4 5/8” Blackhawk convertible 45 Colt/45 ACP for over 40 years, then in 2015 I got Vaquero Birdshead SS 3 3/4” 45 ACP from Ruger to replace an unrepairable Single Seven. When I got this gun 45 Colt/45 ACP, both the Blackhawk and Vaquero were sold down the river. Mostly use the 45 ACP cylinder...

Re: Rem/Marlin 336BL, 30-30

They are going to replace the 2X-7X 28mm Compact with a Full Size 4X-10X 40mm that is about 3” longer than a compact :shock:
Unfortunately they don’t make compact scopes anymore

Re: Rem/Marlin 336BL, 30-30

Nice looking rifle! I have one too 8) I had a 2X-7X Burris Compact scope on mine. I had had the scope for over 40 years, unfortunately it recently wouldn’t hold a zero. I sent it back to Burris who said it couldn’t be repaired :cry: I’ve since mounted a little Bug Buster 3X-12X scope on the rifle. S...

Re: 44 mag 200 gr JHP medium loads

I’ve been using the 200 gr XTP over 10.0 grs of Unique for several years in my Marlin 1894 and short Ruger SBH’s. Very pleasant to shoot and accuracy is great. I shot these groups last month at 50 yds with my Marlin. The orange dots are 2”. 96E464F8-B31A-430A-A806-376B7631D567.jpeg image1.jpeg image...
