A new stock is $125, so that would be $425 and it would be ready for a scope. It's helpful to know what they are actually selling for in your neck of the woods.. Thanks.

There have been threads in the past that talk about the high prices of the BLR's, but I have a line on one that has been butchered, but is restorable. It is a 1976, Japan, 308 caliber. The bluing is still in pretty good shape (90%), bore is bright. The negatives: 1 1/2 inch is cut off the buttstock,...

Years ago, I was in the habit of continuously using foul language until I unleashed the "f" bomb at my mother's dinner table one night. She gave me a look that would have caused granite to melt, and said, "I do NOT allow that kind of language in my home!" I apologized profusely a...

Thanks for the information. I'll look at teh front of the barrel to see if I can discern if it was cut or not. The forearm is not the shorter length, so it could have been cut off. If it was cut, that could account for the appearance of the bluing on the barrel, indicating a reblue at some time in t...

I need to tap into the expertise of some of the Marlin officionados that hang out on this site. I have Winchesters, I love Winchesters, have never owned a Marlin levergun, but I saw one that has my itch a scratchin!! I visited the local candy store and saw an 1893 Marlin, 20" octagon barrel, cc...

I was in Wholesale Sports in Lacey WA today. They had the Federal blue box bulk pack of 525 for $17 plus some change. I passed on that but did pick up a couple of pounds of Unique and a pound of 5744.

This thread REALLY STINKS!!

I initially got started because I couldn't buy ammo for my 40-82 with the right diameter bullets, thanks to an oversize bore. Besides that, the commercially available ammo is way too expensive for my pocket book! Then, I started to realize that just because a cartridge fits into the chamber, goes bo...

Sixgun, this is way out of character for you, but I just gotta know....

Is this one going to be hung up on wrapped 20 penny nails??

VERY nice gun!

I shoot 45-90 and 40-82 in my 86's. Both are good rounds and are fun to shoot.

I'm not going to criticize the moderators at all for the job they have done. Hobie and Paul have done a great job IMO in making this a place that I check in on daily. Some have expressed their empathy for some of the guys that get a bit hot headed due to a long hard day or whatever, but I submit tha...

IMHO and as others have said, focused practice will get you there a lot more quickly than just shooting a bunch of rounds at a hillside. We didn't have a ton of money to burn and my idea of a shooting session was when Dad, my brother and I would go out and each shoot about 10 rounds each. In those e...

As Hobie said, pick the one that feels right to you. The BLR is a quick and accurate woods rifle, as is the Marlin. When you are young and your eyes focus quickly on irons, it doesn't make too much difference. When you get older, it is nice to be able to scope your gun withoout having to D&T a b...

Recently there have been several threads on BLR's. I've heard about the lousy triggers for years and just found out that they aren't dependable all of the time with documented failures to fire. I pulled my 1977 vintage 308 out of the safe to see if it is as good as I thought it was the last time I f...

We had a 17 pound tomcat that lived with us in Northern Minnesota for two winters and survived fox and great horned owls that were around all the time.

I remember my mother telling me that her brother would run across country to get from their place on the Columbia River to Selah to attend a Friday night dance.

I was under the impression that the A-bolt at one time was considered to be the most accurate out of the box rifle made. I was hunting with a friend who had one in 300 magnum with the boss system. I spotted a deer that was outside of my comfort zone, so he took the shot. I was spotting for him. The ...

Cubrock,
I don't know what that is on the gun, but I do know that it has been quite a while since I've seen you post anything! Good to see that thing are going well for you now.

That is a nice 53. Shoot it till it drops!

You can kill a mole with a shotgun without hitting them. If you can get over to it as the dirt is being pushed up, and shoot, you will kill the critter DRT. geobru.

I killed an elk and skinned it to let it cool, planning to pack it out the next AM. The overnight temps only got down to the high 20's, low 30's, but by the next morning, there were ice crystals throughout the carcass. A deer is thin skinned, and a small deer would rapidly lose its body heat and fre...

I am sure that 125's that are properly placed are up to the job. The problem is that we don't always make the perfect shot. Personally, I advocate using 150 grain bullets for deer size game. That compensates for any mistakes I might make. The farthest I have ever had a deer go that was hit with a 15...

Thanks for posting the pics. The look on their faces took me back about 50 years, when I got a BB gun for Christmas. I'm sure my face had a similar look on it.

Tonight on the way home, I stopped at the local shootin shop and there was a guy there trying to sell a 1926 vintage 1894 SRC for $450. I walked away from the deal because I thought the price was too high considering the gun's condition. There were deep rust spots on both sides of the receiver (10% ...

Any one of the ones listed are fine guns. You might consider the Browning BL-22 also.

Buy the one you can afford now, then keep a sharp eye and buy the others as you have funds and as good deals come your way.

Thats how you feed the levergun addiction!!

30-06 +1 A comment on the ultra mag. My experience with deer sized game and magnums is that you will lose a lot of meat due to blood shot when you body shoot a critter with them. I've seen shoulder shots that destroyed the whole shoulder. I prefer standard velocity calibers like the 06 or 308. The o...

The true test of good eggnog is whether or not it is thick enough to chew as you drink it!

But i gotta ask. Just how he devil does a kid make Eagle Scout without a firearms merit badge and learning how to clear a weapon and proper gun handling?

A couple of guys at work brought this to my attention. These are relatively inexpensive guns that sell new for around $175. They are auto loaders, made in the USA, with a lifetime warranty. Does anyone here have any experience with these guns? Any recommendations?

A duck hunter was enjoying a day in the field when he had to relieve himself. He walked over to the edge of the marsh, leaned his gun against a tree, and took a leak.

I have 12 and 16 guage guns. The 16 is my favorite because it is really quick to the shoulder and on target. Years ago, when I was in college, a buddy and I were hunting pheasant and both had 2 birds. As we were driving down a road, we spotted a rooster out in a field. My pal said, " I'm going ...
