Geesh, sounds like a bunch of worn out, busted up old guys here . Well I'm right there with you. But I won't let it stop me. Slow me down a bit, maybe. As to what's going on, quite a bit of Jeeping. My favorite places in the high desert aren't far away and while I admit I don't do a lot of hard cor...

Rehabbing from shoulder surgery , getting back surgery this Thursday , hunting is out this year , next year will be better. Still crawl with the grand kids , sore the next day , but worth every minute. Life is good. Good grief --- birds of a feather here regarding ruining our 2025 season's :shock: ...

Would be cool to get MR Sundle to weigh in but Buffalo Bore being a niche market supplier --- may be fuelling all this man's success and if so i have been misjudging the market for heavy for caliber critical defense and hunting loads but things like expensive double rifle collections and second home...

Welcome Jim (and all) My apologies it took me longer than anticipated to get this up and going. We have been working on some new sights and mounts.

Wow -- thank you for the intro Andy , the old heads around here are probably very familiar with the goings on but after a few weeks of logging in and then being rebuked i almost gave up As far as whats going on ?

I like the 10 -- scratch that - i love the 10 ! - in semi-auto pistols that is Im interested if the new Ruger will feed it reliably, ----- Kinda' funny now a almost 45 year old cartridge is the new hotness , but you never know how the winds will blow (especially in Oklahoma) The 10 is expensive to s...

BUT WHYYYYYY didn't they do a (pick one, 375 Win, 35 Rem, 327 Federal, 360 Doe Dropper, 6.5/45-70, etc) There's plenty of 45/70's out there to choose from , and those other cartridges dont move the needle at all with younger buyers, but the 10mm is compelling . A rollout of a 375 or 35 would be met...

Now that's tempting. It will easily match the 38-40 but have a slightly lower muzzle report. It will headspace on the mouth, and I've never loaded for a semi-auto, so I don't know how finicky crimping would be. Also curious if the new ''hornady load will have a shorter case , -- like the bigger one...

I used to see them frequently growing up in Oklahoma --- now 45 years later, i never see them on the old family land Last saw one west of Amarillo a bit when i pulled over to stretch my legs and saw one running around in the sand by the side of the road -- made me happy to know they werent extinct !

There are almost as many opinions on proper stock style and finishes as there are levergunners As for me I actually like the looks of the Trapper length with a pistol grip stock --- and regarding the finish --- i almost think the grey/green laminate with stainless combo is classic in its own right -...

You know screw it -- the market will decide on this one You guys remember about 15-20 years ago when it was all about "Short Magnums" ----- the industry sold a whol;e bunch of short magnums that were the ballistic equivalent of Jack 'O Connors 270 -- honestly didnt make any sense while car...

I think the original Trappers were factory 15" , like this one and thus made a few years before the ATF was conceived

I watched the video. My Ruger/Marlin has fed flawlessly over 700 rounds of all kinds of bullet shapes. And I think the finish is outstanding. He pointed to groups with .357 ammo that I think were unacceptable. He seems to be having fliers like we are and he just discounts them because he wants to. ...

Streetstar

Depends on where you live and are hunting, I guess. In Ohio, deer hunting requires a straight wall case which caused a run on on the pistol cal. carbines. A lot of the guys around here were afraid of the .45-70 and never heard of a .450 Marlin or a .38-55 which i would use. This gave a boost to the...

(snip) I think of Gus's admonition to Juanz in the Lonesome Dove saloon as he was wiping the table. Gus said that most folks would not notice a dead skunk on the table.

Instead of trying to redress you or changing your armament, I’m going to recommend a linen or seersucker jacket for hotter weather.

I have read elswhere as well that people find them ugly. Honestly, the look of it is what appeals to me. I think it looks fantastic.
