http://i575.photobucket.com/albums/ss198/Hunter4570/100_1041.jpg Hi, Here is my friend Christian from Marseille, south of France, his Marlin 95 is a blued one that was polished and sandblasted by french gunsmith near Paris. The caliber is 45-70 and the muzzle brake is really effective. Shooting 405...

Hi reflex264, Nice shoot and great caliber that 450. Planning a trip to Mozambique next year to hunt buffalo in the north of the country during wet season (less expansive for me). Think i'll use an 86 heavily loaded with 420 to 450grs lead bullets. Your success confirm my choice. The steak looks del...

I sent this text to all my friends in France and all over Europe cause in these times of crisis they reveal the awful realty of our poor mercant...

Hi,

Do you test it to 200 to 250m? Are they good to that distance? Would like to use lever gun to hunt some gams and corsican rams in French Alps and Pyrénnées where shots can be 300 meters long and often in windy conditions after some climbing and hard walking?
Thank you.

Nice aircraft that SR71 and the A12 and YF12 before it. Imagine what a bomber the XB70 could have be if it's developpment had been continued. I'm not sure but i think that some SR71 were put back in service for some time during the Serbian crisis. We even had TR1 and last version U2 based in Istres ...

It's interesting for an old world guy like me to read such things about US shooters having problems to find primers. As a french handloader i say for years that our problem will come from goverment agencies discretly acting to limit primers and powders. I also began stocking some but they are awfull...

It seem most of you like lever guns so i try to join a picture of some of my favorite lever guns. I mostly use 86s en 71s for hunting. I hope to have chance to ex...
