Re: 44/40 VS 45 colt for Deer
I think the idea of a .44/40 BP load giving pass-throughs on deer to 200 yards is factory fantasy. Bill, Elmer Keith wrote about shooting a bear with a factory .45 Colt cartridge which penetrated the bear completely. The 44-40 from a rifle at 200 yards carries a bit more velocity than the .45 Colt ...

Re: 336 Wood
Boyds has them a lot cheaper than Midway.The problem is that any pre finished stock may not fit correctly on the lower tang.In the older marlins there was a lot of variation in the width of the two tang s top to bottom.Thus almost all butt stocks were hand fit to the action.If you look at the butt s...

I believe the only way red meat should be cooked is to slice it season it and sear it and eat it. Why would you take a fine piece of meat like tenderloin and soak it for days to make it taste like something else???????????
