Terry,

Bullies always pick on the shy, soft-spoken kid.

We like you here. Don't let it get you down.

Sarge, have you replaced the rear sight on your Santa Fe Hawken yet? I've been wanting one of that type for a future project. I think I even have one in the white somewhere in my junk pile, but no elevator. Yours is polished and browned already. Actually, when I bobbed the barrel back it tightened ...

That was a great little article on the British Bulldogs, Hobie. Good stuff.

Sarge

I can tell in three shots what a given gun and load are doing- especially considering the cost of ammo & components these days.

Sarge

I'd say it could be done but

a) It'd depend on the terrain,
b) availability of water,
and
c) I'd want a solid old range horse who could live on grass

Not doing it at my age unless somebody I cared about a WHOLE lot had their fat in the fire, at the other end.

Thanks Hobie, you are too kind.

Replace those darn rods with 1/8" wooden dowels, appropriately marked, and the only thing you'll have to worry about is shooting the unit itself.

Sarge

That last line is good to hear, 86'er. Like Doc Hudson I started using them when Carter was pretending to president; mine were fully as good as he reported his to be. FWIW I shot shot perfect scores with one in the 80's, on a course that required fast DA shooting up close and deliberate DA shooting ...

I've been running a Beta Master for a couple of years now and it's a good unit. My only gripe is that the manual reads like Egyptian hieroglyphics but you'll get onto it, regardless.

I got the Marbles sights at Brownells. What you want is as follows: * 1ea Marble 37W 1/16" Gold front sight - Stock no. 579-103-731 (I got the 1/16" wide one for more precision but they also have a 3/32" wide one too) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/Coloradoglocker/100_3651.jp...

Sarge

I zero mine to drop the bullet on the top, center edge of front sight at 200 yards with 150 grain WW Power Points. I have found that 34.0 of H4895 under a 150 grain Sierra flatpoint will duplicate that load for all intents and purposes (not to mention porpoises) and shoot to the same POI. Credit to ...

Sarge

Add mine to the list & God bless you all.

Sort of a demented cross between Tom Mix and Liberace

Thanks for posting these great old photos, Rangerider.

Sarge

An accurate (2"@50 yards/5 shots) .22, either rifle or pistol. A compact, reasonably powerful centerfire pistol suitable for defense or meat-getting in a pinch. A pocket gun. A compact 12 gauge repeating shotgun, slug capable and with choke tubes if possible. A reasonably accurate (2.5 MOA or l...

I've got a Rossi 92 in this caliber and it's a dandy little howitzer. It seems to be good for about 2 1/2" @ 100 with loads it like, but an inch of that could easily be the coarse factory sights. Since there a few pics in this thread, I'll seize the opportunity to post one of it taking a break ...

Sarge

Winchester. The Marlin has managed to have a malfunction named in its honor and in the event of a problem, the Winchester's top ejection port makes for easier access.

Sarge

Thanks for posting the Brownell's catalog numbers & pics of those sights, Steve. That was downright helpful of you.

Sarge

Done.

Sarge

I've got an old Hornady Deluxe and the little plastic Lee both screwed to my bench; the Lee has proven just as accurate as the Hornady with the ball powders I've run through both of them. I do like the Hornady better when throwing heavy charges, but the Lees are so cheap can dedicate them for a spec...

Sarge

Joe- thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed that blog. Back when that topic was hot on various forums, I pretty much left it alone, but kept thinking of all the reasons why the 'excuses' didn't make sense to me. Then I got on a roll one day and hammered it out. At least when the topic comes up occasionally...

Sarge

Just one pair, an Old Vaquero and a Rossi 92 in .45 Colt.

Sarge

Joe, you irascible old radical....at least you got company ;) About mid-1993, the folks who manufacture firearms for the US market decided that not unlike Idi Amin, Bill Klinton was going to be President For Life, and that their only means of corporate survival was to add so-called 'safety devices' ...

A relative (a serious reloader himself) once blessed me with a 5-gallon bucket of various late-issue rifle and pistol powders. The majority were rifle powders and needless to say, I didn't buy a can of rifle powder for nearly ten years. Winchester, IMR and Hodgdon rifle powders were well-represented...

Sarge

A new 'eye doc' might be all you need. I'm mostly a handgunner. I turned 53 last September and on some days, a gallon jug still ain't safe out to 125 yards. On other days, I see two of the dang things, one overlapping the other at 10 O'clock. High-contrast and bullsyes are worse. The killer is that ...

Prayers up from here.

Sarge: In spite of my disappointment with the angle eject, I do agree with you. I'm glad to see them back in the saddle again, even if the cinch is a bit loose. Kirk, Please....ANYTHING but a loose cinch. I took a quarter horse straightaway from another rider once, pointed it down a 350 yard chat d...

I for one am glad to see Winchester selling 94's again, even of those 94's aren't something I'd run out and buy. They are pretty guns and while I don't care for the handling of the AE's, I'll side with William in that I have seen the best accuracy from AE guns...sometimes crazy accuracy for a lever-...

Sarge

The primary advantage of the marlin is its ease with which it can be 'scoped. I've had 336's with both straight and pistol grip stocks, plus a couple of 94's in 44 mag. I had three of the infamous 'Marlin Jams' over the years and the 3rd will be my last one. My 30 WCF's will henceforth all be Winche...

Sarge

I have settled on W231 as my 'zero to sixty' pistol powder because it meters better than the flake powders, it has proven kinder to bulk lead bullets than Universal and it has produced excellent accuracy in everything from .38 Special to .45 Colt. It also gives good economy and works well in the sho...

That deer pic desperately needs captioned but I don't think i can do it w/o fracturing various guidelines regarding appropriate content; so I'll leave that to folks with more refined sensibilities. The top pic is great too and like Murbacht I couldn't help but notice that stout and nimble-built pony...

I don't have a picture of it, but about 14 years ago I flattened a big forkhorn at 235 long steps with an aperture sighted 94 Winchester and that outfit's plain-jane 150 grain factory load. In fact it knocked a chunk of bone out the offside about the size of a nickel, which was laying on the edge of...

I am evidently one of the offenders and I also am apparently not milk-toast enough in my language to fit here. Y'all know where to find me.

Sarge, in general I would say if a cop is a member here, then he is probably a good cop, but my perception, which is based on 42 years of life and a few years on a fire dept responding mostly to accidents, is cops tend to treat the public in a condescending manner, sometimes with outright disrespec...

Sarge

As a police officer I find it absurd when someone who claims to love the Constitution blames those who have been given the Constitutional Authority to enforce the law of the land. As a citizen who you work for, I find it absurd you think I can't point out what is undoubtably the overwhelming public...

Gentlemen, Many of us have taken that oath, and taken that particular aspect of it dead-seriously, before many of you were big enough to pee and turn over gravel. Many of us were handing 'concealed weapons' back to minor traffic violators, instead of arresting them for a so-called felony, long befor...

I've got a 20", 1970 Model 99E in .308 Winchester; also have an old Remington 78 in 30-06. I shot the 78 for years w/o a pad on it, until the wife decided she liked it. So I cut it down to fit her LOP with the thickest Decelerator pad installed. Now it kicks the snot out of me, unless I remembe...

I just got back about a week ago. We were up there for family (daughter about to make me a Grandpa again) so we didn't get to see as much as we would have liked to. I did see enough to convince me that I'm going back for a hunt, sometime in the future. Alaska gets under your skin I didn't mean to de...

The language used by Warren in this case is as unambiguous as it can be- We merely hold today that where a police officer observes unusual conduct which leads him reasonably to conclude in light of his experience that criminal activity may be afoot and that the persons with whom he is dealing may be...

I am working on an article regarding the legal history of the Bowie Knife in Texas.... I'll be looking forward to reading that. Ed, RSMo Chapter 571 touches on knives but makes to specific reference to Bowies. From the chapter's definitions in 571.010: "[10] "Knife" means any dagger,...

I grew up being taught by to shoot with one hand. When I started in LE we shot PPC, which puts at least some emphasis on strong/weak hand shooting. Nowadays practically all LE training is two-handed and the distances, in comparison to PPC, have been divided by THREE. I have maintained my own separat...

My brother-in-law, who is my shooting guru (...but scoffs at leverguns, so how much can I trust him) says the only lever gun he ever considered was a Savage 99 in 7mm-08 made just before they stopped them. Is that so, has anyone seen one. I might consider it as a gift for him...shutting him up abou...

I think if you follow the axiom "Use Enough Gun" you also have to accept the fact that you won't always be able to predict what will be "just enough" on any given day. Consequently there will be times when you have more than you need, for the given application. "Better to ha...
