5 or 6 .356’s? Now we know why they’re hard to find :lol: What load/bullet for the moose? yes at least 5 or 6. i have two big bores still new in the box with hanging tags and papers: a 356 and a 307. had them a long time. the load used for the moose is a 220 gr handload , the details of which i don...

i think it goes back to around year 2000...... done by Gary Reeder....very smooth and accurate

hfcable

this would be the one, if i could only have one blackhawk:

dual cylinder: 45 colt and 45 acp

hfcable

works real well for me;

not a big moose but one shot from the marlin 336ER in 356 did the trick

i have several of them [ ? 5 0r 6 ] all the rest are winchester BB

have a lifetime supply of ammo and brass

hfcable

Not to take away from the Prvi 44 Magnum ammo, but something I encountered with Prvi 45-70 is that the recoil pushed the bullet deeper into a few cartridges. Fortunately, I only bought one box so my 1886 Browning turned into a single shot for the remainder of the the 20 rounds. Anyone else experien...

You could do a .45-70 based .338 wildcat on a 336, if you’re a fan of the bore diameter.

i second this one ! have several rifles in 356 .....does a goood job on deer,caribou,, and moose

hfcable

The one for Me that "got away" about ten years ago was a Savage model 24 . Like new in the box .357 mag over 20 ga. It would have been the perfect deer/plinker here in Ohio. It is the only one I ever saw, I blinked and it was gone. Durn. :( . snagged one of those at a gun show 10-15 years...

the 1854 relates to when smith and wesson bought out the volcanic lever action arms company, i think

No way is it worth anywhere near that.

this link says $1279

interesting feature having a detachable tubular magazine......i could go for that for sure !

think i may need this

hfcable

Bill, this is supposed to be the latest and greatest and least invasive

if i needed it this is how i would go

I'm thinking of starting him with a Super Wrangler, then moving on up to a Blackhawk, but not before he can tie his shoes. :lol: congratulations !!!!!! get him a chipmunk deluxe single shot bolt action 22 !! i have a two grandkids - a 2 1/2 year old boy and his sister who is one year old this thurs...

hfcable

beautiful ! terrific find ! always wanted one in 22 an also one in 50 CF but never found either one at a reasonable price

i did get a slender little uberti rolling block replica in 38/357 that finally satisfied the craving to a small degree.

hfcable

thought i had sworn off buying another lever gun... Now, why would you go and swear an oath like that? Were you ill and fighting for conscious thought when you made that oath, Doc? :wink: probably was ill....i have had no end of medically life challenging episodes recently..... and actually i feel ...

hfcable

i agree ! [ if i live that long, which is unlikely }

guess i better get it done sooner !!!

hfcable

beautiful, just outstanding !

hfcable

i have two of these and they are great. handle really well

this one is a 'beater' but i have another one that is in high condition.

hfcable

the action is very smooth and like other rifles of that period very well put together. i only have one though i have bid on many others:

mine is a 45/70 [ they mark it 45/85 if if recall correctly ]

hfcable

i was thinking of having mine converted to center fire but the bore diameter is .251 [similar to 25 acp ] not 256 like the 25/20

was getting more complicated than i was willing to pursue

hfcable

it sure is a shooter !

had one once but sold it to a friend and never tried itl

hfcable

I think your answers are all over the map because the question is too vague. By too vague I mean 'Most Useful' for What? Everyone has a slightly different 'useful' purpose in mind for their leverguns so comparing the answers are largely meaningless. Some may take theirs out for self protection, som...

i remember that !!!

me too

[ along with a few hundred other neat guns ]

hfcable

thanks, fellows. i probably paid too much for them but...... so be it.

wish i had a savage lever action percussion pistol repro set set up the same way

hfcable

so very interesting ! would love to have a functioning copy of each of these

hfcable

here is one of mine:

and another:

these were custom built and the fun part of these is that they are both 22LR rimfires !

bought one of those years ago when it was cheap..it was new in the box and remained that way, for years ,.. then my son claimed it and we sighted it in and he has it now. it is a beautiful rifle and a terrific shooter. i am so glad he likes it and will keep it.

fantastic! all 86 SRCs are rare but this is really over the top. the Hawaii Civil Guard pedigree and consecutive serial numbers. that is just unreal !!

congratulations.

i like the BLR , gave my daughter a lightweight youth model in 308 and i have the laminated takedown BLR in 30/06 that i often take out to the remote mine in alaska . i have the remington Nylon 76 also -amazingly light weight and fun ! tell me what you had to use it for defending yourself !? one of ...

i had a DPMS 308 and liked it pretty well, but have since replaced it. Patriot Ordinance Factory [ POF ] makes a lightweight very accurate 308 that is about the same size as an AR in 223. it is very expensive ....but i won one, the grand prize, at fund raiser in anchorage. i was getting ready to lea...

excellent work. cool classy set !

hfcable

i have been told several times that they may not be as strong..

i dont know this for a fact though.

hfcable

this powder is fairly new and supposed to be good for these type cartridges. i havent tried it yet, but i plan to use it in my 50/70 and in some 45/70s as well

https://shootersworldpowder.com/buffalo-rifle/

hfcable

great find and great job ! will be great fun to use !

hfcable

so very sorry Joe. you are in my thoughts and prayers.

hfcable

shoot it !! i have two of the short barrel new frontiers, two of the longer barrel, and one of the 7 1/2 "...i shoot them all and all of them outshoot any ruger single six that i have had. and they sure are right pretty too.

hfcable

terrific !! an outstanding young woman !!

356 marlin and moose two years ago:

He got a nice grizzly with one shot from a 25/35 also !!!

hfcable

great rifle and great deer

way to go Kirk !!

hfcable

just wonderful.... as i would expect knowing you !!

Very good perspective. I really enjoy the mild and the wild. It's nice to have options in this modern era. Our ancestors definitely got it done with impliments many people today would deem inferior or even unsuitable for game hunting, survival, and defense. But in that time those were state of the ...

my most useful and most often carried is a marlin 336 ER in 356 winchester. very accurate, handy , and ( hopefully ) sufficient for most occasions around here....... if i thought there was a pretty high chance of really big “ big bear” trouble then my browning 1886 custom with very heavy loads would...

My .480 Ruger caliber model 92. Loaded with everything from 275 grain bullets in light loads to heavy loaded 410 grain Cast Performance Bullets, it will take anything that is too big for a .22 lr all the way up to anything on this continent. I just need to get time to use it. I even have a couple o...

Jeff quinn had some great loads for the .480 in a rifle. i use his loads in my 480 rossi lever gun

you are so right!

we will teach him safety, shooting, etc from a very young age.
