Wow Sixgun! That '86 Extra Light really lives up to its name! That's less than 1lb heavier than your average 94 Carbine really. I had no idea they were really that light, kinda always took it as somewhat overenthusiastic advertising. Thanks for sharing Sir

I'm a big fan of the 71. I don't have one but it's very high on my "will have" list. But I do have an 1886, a Takedown with a full octogon 26" barrel. The comment above about the 71 being heavier than the 1886 puzzles me a bit. I always thought that the 71 was really just an 1886 esse...

Seems like all nice guns have gone up quite a bit.

Probably more accurate to say that our money has been losing value.

Yes, I definitely agree on all points. Our dollars don't go as far as they did three years ago.

RIDERED350r

Yep, for some reason the model 89 (500S&W) was and still is cheaper than the 460 chambered model 90.

RIDERED350r

Yeah, their prices went up significantly this month. A base model 90 (460S&W) was $3100 last month. Now it's $5100. ☹️ I had planned a BHA 90 with two options to be my next rifle purchase. Was going to do the octogon barrel and one step upgraded wood for options. Would have been right around $50...

Firefly, a great western series, even if it is in space. "If somebody tries to kill you, you kill them right back." The only sci-fi worth bothering with. Yep, definitely a different twist on futuristic sci-fi. I really enjoyed that show. "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end...

He's got a couple vids of banging a steel at 200yds with the 50-110. But definitely the majority of his stuff is just off the muzzle.

I actually saw that one in the theater back in the day. I've watched it several times over the years. Definitely a good one, even with the grossly if not hilariously over-done Hollywood "blown away" every time a bad guy eats a 45

RIDERED350r

Under $1000 dealer cost or MSRP? If that's the MSRP it will be interesting! That would be some stiff competition for Henry whose prices have been inching up over the last few years.

Similar concept with the old S&W K-Frame 357s. Light for caliber bullets being pushed hard have been reported to crack the forcing cone. The flat on the bottom of the cone is the weak spot.

IMG_20230201_161302579.jpg Generally speaking, I don't like "muzzle heavy" handguns or rifles. But I do have to say that, the heavy handguns sometimes have their own advantages. One, they help dampen recoil (duh) but 2) I have discovered that since my hands are starting to shake some, the...

RIDERED350r

Ruger dropped their .357 Maximum revolver due to severe forcing cone erosion and gas cutting of the top strap. Will the S&W have the same problems? I doubt they will have the slightest issue with it. This is a revolver designed to shoot the 460 and 500S&W that operate at or a bit north of 6...

RIDERED350r

The full size 8-3/8" barreled models are pretty heavy. My 5" is nothing to sneeze at, but it's definitely easier to handle. Still, considerably heavier than an N-Frame

RIDERED350r

I think being a rimmed cartridge the Buckhammer is the more natural choice for the X-Frame than the 350L. And the Buckhammer should fit in the cylinder as well

I have a Smith 460V (5" barrel). It's fun

RIDERED350r

Always thought a 356 would be an ideal hunting cartridge in a tube gun but they were scarce by the mid nineties. Passed on a deeply scratched one once and regretted it. Thought I might get a 338 MX to fill the niche, but slept on that too then they went away. If you like something new or unpopular,...

I still lament the failure of the Winchester Big Bore and Marlin Express line of cartridges. I think they were well thought out and executed cartridges to improve the performance of the most common lever rifles. It's too bad they didn't catch on and stay for the long term. I own a 94 Big Bore in 375...

In about a year the writer will be comparing the 45-70 to the 360 Buckhammer. :D . Somebody already did that. But I feel this video is heavily skewed to make the 360 the perceived winner. He's using old standard pressure 45-70, 1330fps stated on the box. Obviously the Buckhammer runs at pretty subs...

for Deer In VA the minimum caliber is I think .23 cal. centerfire (in counties that allow rifles that is). that's the only regulation. pistols must produce at least 350 ft. lbs. airguns must be at least 35 cal. muzzleloading rifles must be at least 40 cal.

RIDERED350r

In terms of handguns, the only requirement is centerfire. So we can use everything from 25ACP to 500 Bushwacker with handguns.

RR, good point! And truly, I would rather have a lever gun anyhow. The cartridge was specifically developed for lever guns, so I agree, not sure it would be a good fit for a bolt action gun.
