Quackenbush makes those nice .458 air rifles which shoot a 430 grain bullet at 730fps starting at $660. Look good too. Sort of like a 20 gauge shotgun with a full length tube but mounted in wood meant for a bolt action gun... but his news page says he is full on orders for the foreseeable future

Its just a fun gun mostly. I own a lot of .22s, .357s, .38s, etc... I didn't have any "big" guns. I figured why buy a 30-06, .270, etc... Might as well go all out and at the same time get something that can shoot lead. Anyhow, I got some 460 grain gas checked bullets. I loaded some of them...

Update:
I didn't know a mere 10 shots could take so long to clean up after. Wish they made a Lewis Lead Remover for .50 cal.

All that time lookin at my rifling didn't make me happy either. I swear I can see banding from the machining tools in it . Doesn't look flawless like my 1894's barrel.

Their fat tastes horrible to me. The meat is good but the fat is just nasty.

I haven't heard any new about this stuff but just forum hopping someone mentioned it. I looked up alliant's loading data. Seems hotter in .357 mag and some others. Weaker than lil gun in .44. No magnum primers asked for in the data either though. Anyone played with it any or know anything about it? ...

I hear piston guns are really hard on scopes due to the unconventional way they recoil. It jerks the gun back and forth rather than just back.

oic0

I've got a couple ancient Sheridans and my ol man recently bought one of those piston ones. I sighted it for him (more like, lemme borrow that!) but in but doing so I found out it goes halfway through a phone book so I decided it probably wasn't backyard safe and took it back to him. I'm not in city...

At work, no firearms. At home? There are guns aplenty but very little if any ammo. Bit of bird shot for when critters try to eat my chickens. I'm just not that worried about it and can't shoot at home recreationally because of how close the neighbors are so I keep my ammo where I do my shooting (fri...

If you're spending that much though might as well get the .500 S&W lever action. Unless you can load that 50-110 to higher pressures like a 45-70, then the .500 would have more power and you can readily buy them ammo. Then again its so expensive you HAVE to reload for it so I guess that's a mute...

If you have a little point and shoot, they have very small sensors and will always do poorly in low light unless some big technical advance comes along. The larger sensor cameras like SLR and DSLR can get away with a lot more lighting wise. You can have a bazillion megapixel camera but if the sensor...

Thats a good idea....
talking my ol man into making a gun rack and then stealing it.

Lord knows I need it, the last time the parents came over they commented my house was starting to look like an arsenal.

oic0

Well it worked. Kicks pretty good but not unbearable. My friends commented that it kicks like a 12 gauge except it frogs you instead of pushing. Also not as loud as I thought it would be. Not good for shooting cans though. They do this on the first shot. The can was empty, I think it went through it...

The fact that this movie did as well as it did restored some of my faith in mankind. It had a poor opening and didn't open in near as many theatres relatively but still rounded out 13th for the year with $171,050,443. Two things from that. Theatres didn't think people would like it but they really d...

I like the ones that ask funny questions.

"Answer this riddle to pass! What is a three lettered word beginning with g that has the letter u in middle and n on the end."

"What color is green grass?"

Just hope the bots don't learn to ask wofram alpha.

Never been tempted to push it on up to the SAAMI 60,000 (20% more than the max loads in my manual)?

oic0

Not much choice in sizing on .500 S&W, nearly every bullet I've seen is .501. Not sure why. Probably something to do with the revolver. I'm going to go ahead and cross my fingers and try it though. I have some gas checked .460s and 700s coming in case I find myself scrubbing out lead until the c...

oic0

Some of it is I just want to see what the rifle can do. I am fairly new to reloading and wanted to make sure there wasn't some glaring safety reason I shouldn't load hard cast to jacketed levels. I was thinking majority loaded for plinking with unique and a few hot ones loaded with progressively mor...

oic0

Lets say I loaded to 50,000psi behind a non gas checked 18bhn bullet? That would be about 1900fps from a 400 grain bullet in my rifle. Horrible leading and poor accuracy I assume?

oic0

I don't think I could ever shell out over a grand for a gun unless it did a magic trick or came with some wicked optics.

oic0

I come from a different angle. I love technology. I love learning. In my spare time at work I read up on such things as the latest theories in astrophysics, the latest advances in bio-tech, the latest micro-chip architecture advances, etc... Why then do I love lever actions and old guns? Because the...

oic0

Honestly, I think on these guns the max range is whatever you can still hit the kill zone at. Oh I'm sure theres some crazy guy somewhere that could rainbow a deer right in the sweet spot at 400 yards with one, but for the rest of us, we are the limitation. At least I know I am lol.

oic0

I went ahead and ordered the handi .500. At $260 you really can't beat it. If I ever see a ~450 stainless .454 though, I'm picking it up ASAP even if I have to sell something (but not a gun lol, I never sell guns). I'm eager to see what a lil 300 grain leverevolution at 2200 - 2300fps will do to a l...

I would buy it on the spot if it were stainless. I would take a blued one, but only if the price were right.
Louisiana, keeping guns from rusting is a never ending battle so stainless is your best friend.

oic0

I just put in about 100 hours of over time. There are two guns I really want right now. Well what I REALLY want is a 16 inch .460 lever action but since that doesn't exist I want the ol .454. I would also like a handi .500 but I am thinking the .454 is higher up my list since... well... since the ex...

I'm filling a backpack full of tablet PCs with the entire library of congress and all the scientific knowledge I can pack on them. As well as several solar chargers. I'm going to distribute them to the governments of the world. I don't like how the world is now, re-rolling the dice is worth a shot.

You ever try a red dot? my eyes don't like them. I have lots of floaters and bad sight in general. In daylight when I look through a red dot it takes me precious seconds just to find the dot because my brain is so used to trying to ignore the spots in my vision lol. I do much better with a T or dot ...

Workin takin some of the big loose chunks off to see whats underneath. This is going to take a while and not sure what im going to do about the indentations when I have it all off somehow. http://i52.tinypic.com/2s7cdw2.jpg Its got these things made to look like geodes in sunken parts of the wood. h...

If I oil the thing after stripping it, can resin or polyurethane go on top of oil to seal it?

My grandfather had this cypress table in his office at his house when I was a kid. It was pretty if a bit gaudy. Anyhow, my aunt got it when he moved to a smaller house and she left it outside. Now the finish is all cracked and it needs some serious TLC to get it back to what it used to be. Ok... wh...

Although I am a tech geek I have a clunky ol motorolla. The fancy flashy phones cost far to much for what they are IMO. You either pay 600-800 straight up or get stuck in a contract that will extract that much from you. Course now ATT forces the extra fees on you even if you didnt subsidize the phon...

I was talking to my dad about it the other day (I'm 27). I make as much as he made at my age (comparatively). He was able to afford a house, two kids, and a race car hobby without my mother working. I have a house, cant afford to have kids, don't even have health insurance, and I have a used dirt bi...

Two ways to have a password stolen: 1: You gave it to them by entering in to something on the internet that was set up as a fake website or other trap. Browser exploit etc... or 2: They have a program on your computer that took it. Keylogger etc... Free stuff: Programs to clean off a potential infec...

Well I did it.... I'm still here and in one piece In fact it was so weak it makes me ashamed. Barely even changed the tint of the wood. The only major effect was all the powder bits stuck to it, they didn't completely combust. I finished it up with a torch. I think if I had used the entire 1lb conta...

That is sweet. I made a post about bullpups just yesterday on a forum. Personally id love to have a .454 casull (I know rimmed is hard for auto) or another very high pressure small cartridge in a bullpup. I found this one too, its a BAR converted into a bullpup. Sounds like awesome IMO. http://cdn5....

I should probably learn to use the wood burning tip for my soldering gun. The laser is similar if I could find my darn glasses. I wanted to use powder though as I can basically form it and shape it just how I want it before a single mark is made on the wood. If only I had some aluminum powder to mix...

We've got two pygmies. Atleast once or twice a month "Hello this is your neighbor, your goats are over here again" "Sorry, I'll be right over". Goats laugh at fences. I thought pygmies would be too small to jump. Well guess what, they don't need to jump. They are determined and w...

I was worried about that too, don't know if it will generate enough heat over a long enough period of time to char it. I bet it would if I put something heavy on top of it crushing it down in to it :D but.... I'm not going to try that lol. With my glasses I have poor depth perception, I can't dodge ...

oic0

I've never played with powder burning so I'm going to ask and research before I do this. Anyhow, I had a plan of taking thick cardboard letters, putting em on a plaque, and using a little laser I built to burn the wood all around them in strokes to make an aesthetically pleasing pattern, Remove the ...

I dunno why but reading up on these I thought of some of you old toots ;) http://www.wired.com/reviews/2011/02/superfocus-glasses/ Rather expensive but they offer the ability to adjust the focus on the fly. I always hear about old guys saying their eyes cost em on their accuracy. Dunno if something ...

No one ever told me not to touch them lol. With that lil ol lee loader kit I was just picking them up by hand and dropping them right in to the primer seater. No failures yet. I dunno if a vaccum would set one off though. I beat the stuff out of them loading them and the only one I ever set off took...

People just have a higher standard of living. They think their houses need to have tall steep roofs that look fancy from the outside. They also think they need a nice neighborhood where the house prices are high because everyone else wants in to the same small area. They have to have a car that cost...

I work in social services so things are up. Not as up as you would think, but up none the less. I don't "think" my job is at risk since demand for my position has only gone up but you never know since the government is mighty fickle with their funding and makes us fight for it every year. ...

The only feedback ive found on them sof...

I was seriously thinking of buying one with my tax refund, preferably in SS. Google price search of course turns up a ton of them all with awesome prices and conveniently out of stock

Are they out of production? Were they having problems with the gun or just problems selling it?

Mr Practical here, You can get the Rossi rifles with the fancy options like stainless, octagon, etc... for less than the base price Marlins. Years ago I would have said pay for the extra marlin quality but the longer I hang on to my 1894, the more the wood fitting gnaws at me. Is it THAT much harder...

On a side note, how do you guys shoot the lil turds? my friends land is covered in them but they only come out at night and they keep their distance.

Bioamplification or biomagnification. The further up the food chain you go the higher the concentrations of toxins. Some animals are so bad eating just one will kill you or damage you permenantly.
