Re: Last Stand at Saber River

I went to the NRA museum in VA this past spring. He donated a bunch of firearms from his movies to them. I like all his westerns-wish he made more.

Re: Hunting turkey with my 25-20s.

Wish I could hunt turkeys with a rifle once. Looks like a great combo you have. Got a 22 lb bird on Fri. Going in the frier this week-can't wait. My brother lives in Tx. Seems he is overseas or somewhere else during turkey season. A Rio would look real nice next to my Easterns and Merriams. Good luc...

Re: .45 LC vs. .44 Mag/Spl (yeah - another opinion loaded threa

I like the 45 colt. Lower pressures and easier on the ears(and guns). You don't need to hop it up unless you like burning powder.

Re: Poll for 1895 fans --- 30-06 or .405 ?

Re: Providence Tool Co sight

Sounds like you are making a bigger deal out of this than it is. I installed this sight on my USRAC 1895 and it was a piece of cake. If you have questions call the owner at Providence Tool. Nice guy and helpful. You will not regret this sight. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt246/leverlooney/IMG...

Does anyone shoot cast bullets? I can't seem to find anybody that sells them.

Browning 65 218 Bee questions

I just picked up a Browning 65 in 218 Bee. I am looking for some loads and bullet suppliers.
I also want to put a reciever sight on it. Does it take the Lyman 66a or the 66ae(angle eject)?
Thanks
