7pt Nov 2016.JPG I have killed more deer in the brush with a .270 or .308 than about anything but then again, I have used them more than other calibers. The OP mentioned Brush gun, not Brush Caliber. So, here's my take. At super close range (and I do mean Close with a capitol C) on moving or chargi...

I killed this one yesterday with my Browning BLR .308 I shot a hog with it, a few weeks ago, also. I wanted to kill a hog with my Mod 71 Win but it just didn't work out. I have had the BLR for about 27 years now. I have a lot of other leveractions, and other guns, but the BLR has been my bread and b...

If money is no object, then I want a nice custom Mauser action in a beautiful wood stock, and in 30-06, because I love blued steel and Walnut, and the 06 ammo can still be found most every where, just in case, my favorite loads get lost, etc. But if it was in .308 I would be just as happy.

Did he get a steel frame or a lightweight alloy frame Commander? Both are good but with slightly different strong points. I have both, actually I have 3 Lightweights, and one Steel Commander. The Lightweights shoot just fine, and I find them to be easier to carry concealed all day, due to the lighte...

I would just be sure and vet whoever works on your gun, if you go that direction. I have had guns messed up by poorly skilled people and I don't take too many chances anymore, and if the gun is expensive then I cut no corners and always use a well known top of the line gunsmith, or in some cases do ...

Lastmohecken

Well, it depends somewhat on the iron sights chosen, because a really good set can cost as much as a low end scope, and that still doesn't cover the cost of drilling and tapping the rifle if needed or some front sights get sweated on and some require a dovetail to be cut in the barrel, for either th...

I think about this active shooter stuff, more often because its in the news, more often, but about the only change I have made is I almost always choose my main EDC Gun instead of out of convenience choosing the small pocket stuff, etc. So, I have put the investment into good CCW holsters, mostly Mi...

Lastmohecken, where you been??? I knew with a long post on Bigknives you would show up sooner or later. I like the design of your Bowie. Are the fall leaves showing up yet over there??

I can and have field dressed more then one deer with a 3 bladed stockman, but almost all of my life (knocking on the door of 60) I have carried something similar in size to the old Buck Folding Hunter and usually preferred a bigger knife then most people, because I just never found a whole lot that ...

My bad, you guys are right, it's an 1894 not the 39, I didn't look at it, with my glasses on and didn't realize that it was a 1894, I just assumed it was a 39. That makes perfect sense, because when I cycled the action it was smoother then the typical 39 and I noticed the carrier was different looki...

I found a used Marlin 39 leveraction, probably 15yrs old or so, in .22 mag for sale. It's a straight grip model. It's fairly expensive, on par with the Winchester model 94 22mags in price. I am considering buying it, but I was wondering: 1. Does anyone here have one and how well does it shoot? 2. Do...

As some of you may, or not, remember, My daughter recently moved to Fort Worth for a new job, so I guess she is an official Texas resident now.

If I didn't already have 4 lightweight Commanders and a 3" Kimber to compliment my 5 inch guns, I might consider it, if I did have the money for a Colt or Springfield. However, I have considered a Shield in 9mm, but I don't know, I don't need one, that's for sure.

Beautiful rifle, I have a .62 smoothbore flinter that I want to hunt squirrels with. I have not had the time to mess with, but I had another one for while, not nearly as nice as the one I have now, but it was still a blast to hunt squirrels with, using #6 shot. The only bad this was, that it was lou...

Lastmohecken

I believe that the real reason is that the 40 is harder to shoot then the 9mm. It a little more snappy in the recoil dept. And the 9 holds more ammo in the mags. And practice ammo is probably cheaper. And modern, top tier, 9mm self-defense ammo has come a long way, and the 9 is more effective then i...

I seen that the first time, a few years ago, and at that time the heading under the picture said, these are really popular in Arizona. Who knows, but I thing Arizona is an open carry state.

If you could use a reamer to remove the bulk of the material and then switch to a flex hone and hone until just a hint of spiral remained, I think that would still be considered rifling and therefore legal. Wouldn't that accomplish what you want? Or, am I wrong in thinking it would be legal? Bob in...

That's what I thought.

What length is your single six barrel? Are those threaded or pressed in?

Is it really worth the paperwork? Pretty sure smooth bore pistols are title II. Of course it makes no sense at all, but that is the NFA for you. Maybe you could find an old .22 sixgun that was shot hard and never cleaned, no rifling left! No, It wouldn't be worth the paperwork to me. That's why I w...

I have used a Ruger Single six, with the old crimped 22 shotshells, off and on for years, shooting stuff like flying wood boring bees, around the house, and stuff. Marlin used to make what they called a garden gun which was a smooth bore bolt action 22 rifle configuration, so I got the idea to take ...

I guess I am in Elmer's camp on the handguns, even though I always was fond of Jack's .270 win. but I also actually shoot the 1911 in 45, better then most 9mm's I have owned.

I had a new second gen Glock 23 (40 cal), several years ago. That particular gun, I did not every really warm up to. It was 100% reliable and accurate enough for the usual situation, but had a pretty rough trigger, that would sting my trigger finger when shooting it, and I found it harder to conceal...

Yeah, I always go, spring and fall. Unfortunately, I believe the prices are getting stupid high on a lot of stuff, but there are a few reasonable deals sprinkled around if you get lucky.

Yes, they are getting bad about rolling up early. We usually do the top floor first, because I don't usually find much on the bottom floor, other then overpriced old collector guns to buy.

Enjoy your Winchester. It seams like there are varying degrees of experiences with the pistol cartridge leveractions. Me? My first real experience was with a the Marlin 94 in 44 mag.

It's a really simple calculus for me. I carry the snubby .357 & 2 speed strips when doing ranching stuff + trips in town. Reason: Ammo options. From snakes in the sage to downer bulls I've got a load handy. I carry the .45 + 1 mag for EDC in town. Reason: Comfortable + quick mag change I carry ...

I must admit that reading some of the reports surprises me on one shot stops, etc. by the sub calibers. From old data, the 9mm and smaller rounds had a poor showing, but with modern premium ammo, I am sure the nine probably does well. I will carry one when I see an advantage, (meaning smaller gun) l...

Jello tests and reality don't always coincide. Jello is a specific set of conditions. What folks seem to forget is that there are ever changing variable conditions in life. Personally I know the .45acp works. I can't make the same claim about the other rounds m I used to think .45 was a magic bulle...

I will still put my money on the 45acp vs the 9mm, based on conversations with ex cops I know, who have actually seen the elephant, and commented about it.

Good looking grips, I love stag grips on my singleactions. I usually use Wilson Combat Wood grips on my 1911's, though.

That is one situation where I would hope my pistol was secured by a lanyard in case I was fumble fingered and fumbled my gun. I guess being a horse pistol to start with was one of the reason the 1911 had a small loop for a lanyard.

I have read this story before. Just goes to show you what a cool head and a 1911 can accomplish.

Anything might get the job done, but IMHO Elmer Keith got it right with the Semi-wadcutter style for cast bullets and living flesh and bone.
