To be fair you cannot compare the .30-30 LeveRevolution to the .308 Marlin Express. To begin with the two bullets are different and have a different BC. That's the first I heard they were different bullets. Where'd you get that info? The BC difference might be based soley on the difference in veloc...

I would give the folks at Marlin a Call on Monday and talk to them. They will fix you up. 1-800-544-8892

The 308MX has become my go to rifle. I killed a lot of stuff with the 308MX last year. First off I shot a deer at 365 yards with it. The shot was nearly straight on. It flipped the deer over backwards and the bullet I recovered near the left rear hind quarter, and it weighed 129 grains, it opened up...

Those prices are fair!!

You are lucky you found it and not me...I would have dislocated my shoulder with the ninja move getting my wallet out.

A factory reblue job, and some work on the stock and that baby would be good to go.

check out Greg Mushial's web site. He has done a lot of testing with low velocity loads.

I have shot it out of several 30-30's a few 35 Rems, a 444, and a few 45-70's and not one single problem, none have the new followers. Even shot it out of my Win 94AE and no problems.

There are some really stupid people in this country, the sad part is, they don't even realize just how stupid they are....they just keep on talking. Now I would like to see a plane load of these peace loving educated people unloaded in Iraq so they could talk peace with some Hadji.

I gave my notice 2 days ago. I have been at the same job as a Physician Assistant in a small town for the past nine years. It was a difficult thing to do, but it came down to time off with my kids, and they were not willing to budge, they some how think two 24 hour days and three 9-10+ days a week s...

I think I would have quit using it the first time. Some powders tend to do that more than others. Check out Hodgdons site for the Trapdoor loads. Trail boss would be a very good choice in those old rifles.

This was my first 5 shot group at 100 yards after mounting the scope. http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o239/big_medicine/DSCF0053mx100yd.jpg This is a two shot group I shot at 517 yards. I was low on ammo and needed to save it for elk hunting, so 2 shot groups was all I could do. http://i121.photo...

Mine is in memory of my God Son. I told his Dad at the time of his funeral, that there are two days in my life that I will never forget. The day he called me from Camp Pendleton, while I was stationed at the Mountain Warfare Training Center to tell me he had a Son, and that he had named his middle n...

I bought the knife mail order because it was a "Buck" I expect a knife made in china from a lot of other companies. Didn't expect it from Buck. As to the quality....I will only know once I use it.

I can not believe it!!!! I bought a buck Hilo mod 179 and it is made in China.. Buck knives made in China, I give up?

You know....I might just come up with a scam of my own.....You know, a lot of those Colt handguns, Winchester rifles, and old Marlins that are sitting in your gun safe are most likely fakes....Send to to me along with $100 per firearm and I will check them out to varify if they are real or fake.... ...

It was a different time and place. My Dad went in on two invasions with the 96th ID and they would have made the invasion on Japan. I heard my Dad say more than once that he never expected to survive that. After the savage fighting on Leyte and Okinawa he really felt it was only a matter of time and...

I'm still working up loads for it so I don't have anything that I have settled on yet. I spoke with the techs at Hodgdon a few weeks ago to see if they had some idea what to use for acuracy loads. They only shoot for pressures and velocity and don't worry about accuracy. Sierra doesn't have any data...

Here is a link to the Cabela's talk forum. I posted my experience with the 308MX, I'm short on time or I would do it here. I killed a deer at 365 yards, and elk at 178, and another buck at 147 yards. It is the real deal.

I do know the mark up on used vehicles is very high. I have a friend that has a dealer license and goes to the auctions. My last vehicle we got was a 2004 Ford Expedition with about 30,000 miles on it. We got it in Aug of 2005. we paid 18,000 for it through him. At that time the dealers wanted close...

big medicine

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm ignorant on this stuff. what is a hold back?

As far as the rebates, when do you talk about that during price? After you have settled on a price?

we have been planning on buying another vehicle sometime this year so all of this will be very helpful.

big medicine

Tom, This has been VERY helpful! I have a couple questions. How do I get this information?? 6. Do a little research before you go to the dealer, educate yourself on the rebates and invoice price before you get there. An educated buyer intimidates a sales person. He knows he can not pull the wool ove...
