Re: Why are single-action revolvers still so popular?

Just a question here: was the 45 Colt the first cartridge the single action was chambered for??? Everything I've ever read either says or implies that it was. The one I give most credence is John Taffin, who stated in his article "The Colt Single Action Army" on sixguns.com: " The no...

If you like firing 6 inaccurate shots very rapidly, I would get the DA. But if you like firing 6 very accurate shots rapidly enough with an ultra-cool looking gun, I would get the SA. ;)

Re: 35 Rem - 16 Pt. double header

Nice deer. One of the reasons we've never offerred 35 Rem cartridges is that it is one of those calibers that is hard to improve upon. The original 200gr - 2000 fps combination has been getting it done for a century. +1 Mike! HOWEVER, it would be even nicer to buy it from a wonderful company like y...

Re: Pointy bullets in tubular magazines

Spire-point bullets are overrated anyway. Sure, they improve trajectory and downrange velocity. But, mechanically speaking, round or flat-nosed bullets offer more reliable terminal performance, especially at the lower velocities found farther downrange. So, why risk losing a hand for the sake of gai...

Personally, I use a shotgun for small game and protection. So, the main chore I have for a levergun is big game hunting. But, if its recoil is too much, then it won't get used as much. Therefore, my vote goes to the 336 35 Remington. However, if I needed a levergun to "do it all", I would ...

The 338 ME is probably a great cartridge, especially for longer range big game (200+ yards). However, out to 150 yards, it won't do anything the great 35 Remington can't do. A Marlin 336 in 35 Remington loaded with 200 grain Remington Core-Lokts at around 2000 fps is quite possibly the best all-arou...
