Re: Sucks to get old, don't it

I just installed a new skinner brass front sight on my 94 win. 30-30 because of the same problem. It made a big diffrence with the rear peep sight.

Re: Please tell me if I'm wrong re. dealer

+ 1 on the pawn shops. I deal with them here in S.C. no problems. dont matter new or old or where you got it. You paid for the gun so it should have been put in your name where you got it. I think a transfer only makes sure you can have it but dont prove ownership?

go with the 357, you can shoot it cheap and will kill a deer with no problems. I have had 4 over the years and liked them all.

rcbs makes cowboy dies just for lead bullets. I have a set for both my 30-30 and 45-70. they work great. I think you may be able to get just the expander die at midwayusa.com.

Re: Mossberg in general.

I have a mossberg ATR100 in 30-06, I did a little work on it and with match bullets will do 1/2" at 100yds. The action is based on remington700,also the 700 scope mounts fit this action. I bought another one for my son inlaw who loves his. For the money it cant be beat.

Re: Stack-on safes - anyone have an opinion on them?

Old Ironsights, nice idea but dont think your freezer is fire proof. I lost all my guns to a house fire 3 1/2 years ago. I didnt have a safe. A stupid thing to do on my part. I also had a freezer and fridg in the fire. They were twisted piles of junk. The plastic insides will burn and melt, the oute...

I have a stack on safe like ben t and have had it about 3 1/2 years with no problems. It is fire rated as the other high dollar ones. I would buy another one.
