I have a barrel band on mine and a normal stock plug in the stock. I love it.

Pathfinder09

Too much for me, I prefer the stock lever. It has worked well for over 100 years I have no need to change it now. But good luck with it, to each his own.

Pathfinder09

S W E E T! I didn't like the buckhorns on my '95', so I put on a Lyman 66WB sight. I like it real well. I'm thinking of putting the sight you have on my 1886 and get rid of that buckhorn too.

Rifles a real beauty. I would like to get another one in .30-06 myself.

Pathfinder09

Here is my 1895 Winnie in .405 win. This is by far becoming my favorite rifle. The only difference in mine is now I have a Lyman 66wb reciever sight and a sling. Taking it bear hunting later this month. http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn57/Pathfinder09_album/HPIM1072.jpg I don't think you will be...

.411 is the bullet diameter.

Pathfinder09

Good on ya! That is a magnificent Ram. It's a once in a lifetime tag here ion Oregon but it may take several lifetimes to get one! I have not gotten one yet but every year I keep hoping.

Pathfinder09

Nice rifle, but I prefer a pistol grip stock and some chechering.

I love this shooter.

Pathfinder09

I'm definate;ly a #4 and 5. I love the outdoors most of all, and I'm a meat hunter.

I don't shoot what I don't eat, except cougars. I don't eat them.

Pathfinder09

I've got a m-99 in .30-30. It is from late thirties. I would love one in .308 that I could scope. It would be a darn nice rifle. I keep on the lookout for used ones but they are hard to come by in these parts. I think new ones would sell.

Pathfinder09

AMEN! Good on ya!

Pathfinder09

I have a Leupold VX-II 2x7x33 on my GG. I have fired about 400 rounds through it, some real stout loads too. Never had a problem.

Pathfinder09

I'm in the same process with my .405 Winchester. I'm doing a lot of business with Buffaalo Arms. Good folks to do business with. I have saved up my factory loaded brass, I have the dies, bullets and a load data. Soon to start reloading for it.

Pathfinder09

I'm just getting into loading my self. I've got the dies and the brass. I need a kit. I'm looking at the Lee single stage kit, and the RCBS Rockchuker kit. I'm alsop going to pick up a lee handloader as well for .45-70. Money is an issue for me right now so I need reliable, tuff, and inexpensive as ...

Have you guys ever seen the British film CSA "The Confederate States of America". It is a film made as though the Confederacy won the war. It is very interesting and controversail. Not for the politically correct. Although I am not a southerner, I always had a lot of respect for the south ...

Pathfinder09

TT and CRS,

Beautiful pieces. I picked mine up as a shooter and a hunter. I want mine to go into the field with me. I love this design. you either love'em or hate'em.

Pathfinder09

I have one. It is a delux takedown model. I certainly plan on taking it hunting this year. It is a heavy piece, but I put some sling swivels on it and it is fine. The but plate can be stout. no problem with most factory loads. Stout high pressure loads give a good jolt but nothing you can't handle f...

Pathfinder09

That looks like a tang peep sight holes. The Peep sight would be in the back two screws. The screw 1/2" toward the hammer is the stock screw. When you drill for the tang sight you use the stock screw toward the butt and drill one toward the hammer which is what it looks like you have. They just...

Pathfinder09

Great trade. You can always buy another BFR, but '95's in .405 are hard to come buy. It took me a while.

How was the shoot this weekend. I had to work all weekend and couldn't swing it.

Pathfinder09

Brownings did not have a tang safety, but the USRAC 1886's did. I agree with Griff. sounds like tang peep sight holes. They are used quite a bit on the 86's.

Pathfinder09

Mine was my dad's Savage Mod 99 in .30-30. I still have it and shoot it.
Then was a Marlin 336 in .30-30, 1951 vintage. I still have and shoot it also. Now I've added a few more Marlins and Winchesters. You can never have enough lever guns!

Pathfinder09

I've got some once fired .450 Marlin brass that needs a good home. Free to a good home. I have a couple of boxes of once fired .375 Ruger also up for grabs. Let me know folks. I'm in Oregon.

Pathfinder09

I have been going nuts waiting for these results to come out. I drew an elk hunt 2nd season in central Oregon and a muzzle loader dear hunt in NE oregon in Dec. I'm pretty happy. No Sheep, goat, or Antelope though. Maybe next year. I hope others got some good results also. Last year I didn't draw SQ...

Pathfinder09

Any Questions?

Pathfinder09

Great stuff. That '86' looks like the carbine. The full rigfle had a 26" barrel as my USRAC pictured here. Great rifle. That rifle should do him proud. I hope he passes it on to someone else in his family.

Pathfinder09

Nice Grizz! Great story and pics

Pathfinder09

I love my USRAC 1886 Delux takedown. I would like an EL as well, but my 1886 does all I want it to. I would really liketo get a 95 in .30-06.

Pathfinder09

Great pics. Here is a modern day cowboy.

Pathfinder09

Hard to beat a good savage 99. I have a take down in .30-30 with a tang peep sight, that was my Dad's. I has to be late 40's vintage.

Pathfinder09

I had several light strikes when I first took it out, but did not have any this last weekend, where I put 40 rounds through it. Shot flawlessly and darn accurate at 100 yds with the original iron sights. I have the USRAC rifle also, rebopunding hammer aand tang safety. I've got about 80 rounds throu...

Pathfinder09

B E A U T Y !!!!!!

Pathfinder09

Although I voted for the .45-70, I think that the history of the .30-30 makes it the real king!

Just my $.02

Pathfinder09

I bought a delux takedown 1886 NIB, Miroku Manufacture and paid $1600.00. To me it was worth it, it is a beautiful rifle and is a great shooter . I'll use it for hunting. I don't have safe queens, I have working guns. So in response to your question, I think it probably is a good price. I saw and or...

Pathfinder09

I have them both. Great rifles and I would not hesitate to buy either again.

Pathfinder09

WOW! That is a beautiful Bull. Great Boss. A little too close without a .45-70, or .375.

Pathfinder09

That is a great story. One of the best.

Pathfinder09

Roger That!

Pathfinder09

It's a B E A U T Y , that is what it is!!!!!

This is my MXLR in .450 Marlin.

As someone trained and working professionally in the field of natural resources, I know one thing. Nature is a dynamic system, constantly changing. Nothing on this planet will stay the same for very long, and to think that our home will be like this forever is misguided. Look at the earths geologic ...

Pathfinder09

Sure is a beauty!!!!

Pathfinder09

Interesting thread. I agree that the zebra pic is no .30-30.
I am just taking this thread with a grain of salt. I am not saying it's not true, and I not sure it is true. But the .30-30 has taken a lot of game over the years, you can't cut it short.

Pathfinder09

YOU WANT CHANGE?

Pathfinder09

Very Sweet!

Pathfinder09

Oh Man! S W E E T !! What a beauty!

Pathfinder09

Thanks Jim. AMEN! I have always beleived in the adage "do good in secret". At work we get vacation time every month. Often someone will be out of work because of illness of family tragedy and the personnel office solicits leave donations to help to get the person through. Wether I know the...
