I have a question that I should know the anwser to but hear goes. ( When a round is placed into the mag tube in the 45-70 guide gun does the bottom of the bolt grab the round to help pull it out of the mag tube when the lever is opened, or is the spring in the tube doing the work). The reason i ask ...

I saw that program when i was searching for virus softwware, but decided to go with Norton. I think no matter what we use the SHIIIIIIIIt HeAAAAAAAdss, who have developed this program are very smart, and seems to be a step ahead of all the other programers who work for the legal companies. This hack...

I can't believe so many folks have been infected by this virus, I to don't recall the site I was on when my system was infected. I purchased (Norton security) and loaded it on my system, so now I hope it helps. I have been told it is one of the best virus and spyware programs. I hope so, it cost me ...

I have a question? Does anyone know where the name RED NECK came from. !!

Tennessee Hayre

WOW, and here i thought i was just the only one to be stumped by antivirusXP 2008. Who are these people, and how can we report them. or stop what their doing. Has to be away.

Tennessee Hayre

You know I was thinking the same thing :evil: While I was in my chair just staring at my computer screen ,watching it jump up and down and move left and right about as fast as a machine gun on rapid fire, I was also thinking about what I would do to that hacker if I could get my hands on them. I was...

Thought I would let everyone know that I was surfing the web about 10 days ago and clicked onto a site looking for .357 mag info and found a .357 site that claimed to have a live video on it to view. It ask me if I wanted to run or save the page, so I clicked run because I don't save anything to my ...

Sorry, I was trying to spell "BREED"" It's been a long day!!

Very interesting, Maybe someone should take a truck load up their and drop them off and let them bread for awhile..

Tennessee Hayre

Nice rifle ,I want one!! By the way this is off the subject, but "I have a marlin 336,, 30-30 that I traded an old guitar for 29 years ago and I was trying to find out when the rifle was made. How would a soul go about doing that?

Tennessee Hayre

This may sound like a strange question, When one thinks of hunting in alaska most talk of hunting large dangerous game. Could someone tell me what kind of wild hogs are found in alaska if their are any. If so, where do they live/feed and do folks there hunt them.

Tennessee Hayre

Funny, I always thought a 3x9 scope was for a close range deer scope. So if it is a varmit scope then what is a scope with less power.

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks levergunners for all of the input on this subject. When i took that broken scope off the guide gun and started picking off those clay sheet disk at 100 yards with just the peep sights, I could not wipe the smile off my face. I could not believe how accurate that little gun was. My wife was sp...

Tennessee Hayre

I saw a scope on the Cabela web site designed for the Marlin ....45-70 using the 325 grain flex tip ammo has anyone used that scope and if so is it worth buying. It looks kinda long in length.

Tennessee Hayre

I hunt with a 30-30 model 336, 45-70 1895G, bolt action 308, as well as a bolt action .300 Win Mag. I like um all....

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks guys. I had used the 3 x 9 scope once before on this rifle and the recoil caused the rear scope-ring to rip loose, so I purchased the quick release set from Leupold and fixed that problem. I think I will practice through out the coming months before deer season and build my confidence up usin...

Tennessee Hayre

Well I have done it again :o I went to the range last weekend and blew up another scope. It lasted for a total of 8rounds of (325 grain Hornady Flex Tips). I was using a 3x9 Bushnell on the 1895G 45-70 with med size quick release rings.The first 3 shots were 3" high and to the right. made one a...

Clarksville Tn, is a great little town. Gun friendly, prices are not too bad. We still have gas at 3.87 cents. Have some cheap stores to shop at. Ft Campbell is located here so lots of mony flowing. Clean area, great roads, and great hunting and fishing. River runs right through town. When prices ge...

This is my hunting costume, with a little 100lb doe last year 2007. I wrapped my .308 with Camo wrap. If you look close you can see the hole in the shoulder, Don't like this kind of shot but it worked.[img][img]http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn59 ... 000091.jpg[/img][/img]

Tennessee Hayre

Ted Nugent (Uncle Ted), said he liked wearing Camo because the Anti-Hunters hated it. I guess that would be another reason to wear it.

Tennessee Hayre

Their is goverment hunting land next to where i hunt and during the first week of deer season i hunt right below the ridge line next to the road facing out overlooking the low areas if you can understand that, staying out of the line of fire. Later in the season i venture out deeper into the forest....

Tennessee Hayre

Pisgah, that is a fact. But i still love my camo, It must be a mind thing. I was hunting last year out next to (land between the Lakes) in Dover Tn, and i remember a red fox came and sit down about 10 feet away from me on top of a log . I was camo from head to toe and i watched him for about 5 or 10...

Tennessee Hayre

You must have been on one of them wild turkey hunts!!!

Tennessee Hayre

Good post (Kimwcook) you have a point. For the record when i talk about camo, I am talking about dark clothing,orange with black tiger strips not just Mossy oak ..etc.. I am assuming everyone is wear some kind of blazing orange markings. I wear at least a hat and gloves with blazing orange. I am luc...

Tennessee Hayre

I am a deer hunter here in tennessee. I have always believed a deer has bad eye sight see's in shades of gray like most of you and relies on smell and movement. but also knows every tree and bush in their area and if you do not blend into the terrain you become a point of interest to be checked out ...

Tennessee Hayre

I have not had the chance to go through all of the threads of this forum so I do not know if this subject has been talked about. What is your take on the subject of (Hunting With Camo). By that do you feel it give's the hunter an edge. Your Thoughts

Tennessee Hayre

One thing i like about the weaver rings (That i could not get to work on the XS-rail) is they were made out of steel and only had screws on one side. I purchased thoses for the side mount on the shotgun which never got used. Once you strip a screw head it's a pain to try and find another screw to fit.

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks guys for the response, most of the advise i'm getting is pointing to the Leupold rings so based on the input from this froum "Ive ordered a set of Leupold QRW 1"rings. I am going to try the Medium, because i found an old set of weaver (low) style rings in my junk box, tried that and...

Tennessee Hayre

I am doing the un-thinkable, Been trying to place a scope on my Guide Gun. :oops: I purchased the XS-sight systems rail, mounted my scope with high rings and after 20 rounds of 325 grains Hornady's new ammo the ring in the rear tore loose from the mount. The rings that i used came with another scope...

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks Grizz, On my next trip to the range I'll give it a try. I like the idea of placing a plug in the mag, as well as pointing the rifle skyward to reload as well. As I stated in one of my post, I first thought my magazine spring may be on the weak side. The gun looks like new but if the previous ...

Tennessee Hayre

I think that is sad.

Tennessee Hayre

Thats Scr83jp, Ive read that article. It was a good one. I would expect in the coming years there will be more hunters doing this. I can't remember what site it was i was viewing but one hunter said using a 45-70 to hunt large dangerous game was a stunt. I had to smile when i read that. It was just ...

Tennessee Hayre

The 300 gain and the 325's appear to be the same length, I bring the rifle down to rechamber when on the range. I have loaded and unloaded the rifle several times here at home with 540 Hammerheads, 300 grainers,and 325's and have no problem. The gun was purchased used but is in good condition. Looks...

Tennessee Hayre

One other thing,, I fired the Hornady 325 grain first. Fired 20 rounds and that ammo really dirtied up the gun. I started having problems after the first 5th or 6th round. Next time i will fire the Hammerheads first and see what happens. When i tried hard i got good groups with the Hornady stuff and...

Tennessee Hayre

Thanks guys, I can load the rifle up without firing, and then cycle all of the rounds out no problem. It only happens after i let one go down range. I have looked inside with a flashlight can't see any problem. I think it is strange federals 300 grain works fine. The same thing happened when i used ...

Tennessee Hayre

I don't see anything wrong with eating a horse, Heck, Ive hunted and consumed Ground Hog, Mud turtles, Snake, even ate monkey when i was in jungle school while in the service. but i would have to pass on the possum.

Tennessee Hayre

I have a question, :roll: While at the range with my 1895G, I loaded three rounds in the mag tube, (540 grain Hammerheads) chambered the first round everything worked fine and fired, then lowered the lever to cycle a new round and it would jam. I had to take a screw driver and assist the round out o...

AJMD429, you have a point !!But it is a Chevy solid like a rock!

Old Iron Sights,, as you well know armor is not the same animal as sheet metal and if that were the case all hunters who own a heavy mag rifle with solid bullets would all be up the creek

Here is the first pic of my test conducted on the range this past sunday. Three (Garrett 540 grain Hammer Heads) punched through the 10" slice of tree. The exit holes were the same size as the entry holes. In the back ground you can see where one round blew through an 1/8"steelplate with a...

hello Jeff, I do most of my deer hunting before the bridge coming from Clarksville into Dover off HWY 79. It's private land off river road. Its owned by a friend. So I guess your pretty close to my part of the woods. I have checked out those punch bullets and they look awsome. and i believe those Gr...

Tennessee Hayre

Went to the range today and took my 1895G and some 540 grain hammerheads from garrett. I will post my pic's and full results soon. I will tell you that it was a great day. At 50 yards from the bench i punched through an 1/8 " steel plate punching a 3/4" hole in the metal. It continued into...

By the way (Grizz) I thought about selling the wood as firewood. :lol:but the reason for cutting them is during the last wind storm we had here in Clarksville, one of them fell over and took out all the telephone lines, cable, and power lines on the entire east side of the housing area.
