I would like to find a Trapper length gun in .45 Colt and I really like Marlins. My favorite gun shop in town went to auction sales only and the only other store in this area that sells pre-owned lever actions is 60 miles away. I'll keep checking there. GunBroker - for those itches that have to be ...

I’ve had both - emphasis on HAD I now only own a handful of Winchester’s and Winchester pattern rifles. Also ditched the 44mags for 45 Colt After carrying both Winchesters and Marlins afield I prefer the Winchesters. They feel trimmer and have a natural balance for me. Talking about the PCC’s now - ...

Yes

I can’t stay away from arms list even bough I have zero ‘need” for another gun

I do have a perceived need for better optics for the ones I have, more silencers and more ammo though

Would have to have more info to have any real opinion

We got a couple of vtes for the Hi-Power
Or if 10mm is on the agenda-

Its low capacity, but SIG still has a 220 in 10 if you look around and arent afraid to unfold a bit of green candy

Streetstar

I never have handled a Browning Hi-Power but they are classics, and as a respectable gun-owner, I really SHOULD own one... By the time I get around to getting one they will probably be scarce/collector items and very pricey... :| Springfield makes a very nice one in the $650ish range couple of clon...

I left a Sig P238 in my hunting bag one year -- put the bag away and proceeded to feverishly look for the 238 thinking i had lost it 8 months later pulled the bag out to get ready for the next season -- voila -- I have decided i have too many guns to keep up with, so i have been selectively "gi...

I did a search and Aimplus.com has S&W Mod 64-6 LEO trade-ins for $499. They're Mod 10 that are stainless. From personal experience, most trade-in are in great mechanical shape. Just lots of wear from everyday carry. Most are shot 2-4 times a year for qualifications......shotguns even less. Pur...

Range toy for load development?

Ruger American rifle in 6.5 CM

Nice!

I'd rather start off with a cherry condition gun as the basis for a project, like you're doing, also

--- they made a few million 336's - may as well make yours something you will enjoy more

7mm BackCountry is an interesting piece of - Evolution? 80k lbs of pressure, steel cased, 3000 fps in a 16" barrel (so you can use a suppressor without the resulting rifle being longer than a Brown Bess) with recoil supposedly about like a 243 If it delivers on all that --- id say its much more...

Wow!

I’ll report back on whether I can get these uploaded to my device when I get back to my office later today!

Pretty little thing

. however if I go back out to bear-country, most likely I'll have that Rossi 454. Now I could fit the same niche with an AR SBR in 50 Beowulf, but transporting an SBR over state lines is a hassle, plus I think the levergun is a bit more in line with "going out west". Doc Might I remind yo...

I’ve handgun hunted back when I had sufficient time to train enough to feel proficient Even then, I made a pact with myself to not take any shots longer than I would feel comfortable taking with a crossbow.

Lol I am really enjoying my 7.5” .45 Blackhawk But , at a lofty height of 5’8” and with a stocky build , I am laughing to myself thinking about the optics of carrying it on my belt - although I have looked for a Bianchi belt holster for it with no luck That on one side and a 10” Bowie on the other w...
