If you are fixated in .30 caliber, you are alreadyt lost. Good luck. Ouch :p But that said, I'll at least tell you why I'm going in that direction. First I started at the 7mm Mag, reading up on it . Remington Magnum is especially popular for Western plains use in the United States, as well as for u...

I'm considering a precision bolt action rifle in my future and am still on the short end of the learning curve when it comes to the ideal caliber for this application. What's worse is that everybody has their own opinion on what that caliber should be so I'll ask the forum I trust on the matter. Thi...

You can mount that $25 scope you like, on your Mossy 464, with this $40 Nikon P-Series Ringset I spotted today in a gunrag. http://www.sportco.com/store/pc/Nikon-P-Series-Mount-826-Black-p69544.htm http://www.sportco.com/store/pc/catalog/826p-series-mount_2103_general.jpg Flip the front ring around...

My 444 Marlin worked very well with the little 2.5X Leupold Ultralite scope. A very nice unit and outstading eye relief. It fit the 336 style action with the Weaver mount. The long eye relief helped with fitting as the scope was placed well forward to many. I know money doesn't lie, but yer killin ...

Arizona is a great place for the most part once you get past the heat. Go up north you can enjoy snow and skiing, maybe hike some canyons and drool over more firearms than you can shake a stick at .

So I have this Mossberg 464 I would like to put some modest optics on... Modest as in I simply don't have the money to spend an amr or a leg on. While the levergun is top eject, it is already tapped for Weaver 403 mounts so that won't be a problem. What will be a problem is mounting something as com...

Thanks so far for the advice, everybody. Definitely pointing me in the right direction, or at least a more coherant one. -I've increased spring pressure (by lengthening it) with no real affect. Reducing it has not had any affect either. -Sharply levering the action with force does not produce any co...

Feel free to say "I told you so" somewhere in your reply, but I'm hoping its accompanied by a fix that doesn't involve a lengthy stay at some manufactures depot or the words "talk to Nate" ...Like he doesn't have enough on his plate :p I have recently acquired a used mossberg 464...

Doh, and here I was thinking I was all helpful :p Do seem to be have some feed issues. Rounds will stick in the mag tube, refusing to cycle into the lift gate at random.

You realize it's your fault I got mine, don't you? You posted your fine lookin' levergun and I was toast. I'll take the blame for that :D BTW, notice that little hole in the hammer, yet?

I picked up Rossi 32 in .357 magnum recently and it will not feed the Hornady XTP or any 357 round for that matter. It is an older Interarms Rossi. The round hits the top of the chamber before it rises in the rear enough to slide in. This looked like a problem for the earlier owner as it looks like...

So far I've cycled about 100 rds thru it (tang safety comes in handy) and I've noticed that it to has a weak ejection of complete rounds... I'll second his observations.

I broke down and got some Winchester 150grn RNHPs (first I'd seen) at Wal Mart for $14.97/box so I've got enough to feed it.

Wish I could say the same for my Rossi 454. Cycles the 454 all day, but fails with .45lc; half the reason i bought it. Think I'll pay the extra next time and skip Rossi for the time being.

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii110/ozzallos/mod2.jpg Proposed mod-- If I cycle the .45lc bullet through its action with just my finger it works.

Sent NKJ a PM and he's responded with some potential fixes though I can't say I'm too happy about having to 'fix' a brand new firearm. I guess its technically not broke since it does load .454 without issue. I might just have to be more careful in my ammunition choices for .45lc next time. As to the...

Thanks Earlmck. A few sore fingers later I'm thinking it's the feed ramp or the rails that the bolt rides on... Maybe. I would really need somebody more familiar with a '92 than me to confirm it. The round doesn't seem to pivot properly into the final insertion angle before it gets pushed forward in...

Panzercat

It looks like the round is moving up at too sharp of an angle, catching on the upper edge of the chamber and pretty much lodging itself in place. The above pic is after I've moved the bolt back. The issue does sound a lot like the feed issues in the Marauder guide, except it's not flipping the round...

Was finally able to set aside some funds for lever gun ammo, that being some .45 long and Casull. It was also the first time I had the ability to test the cycling with a full tube and the results are unfortunately somewhat mixed. The .454 Hornady 300gr XPT MAGs cycled flawlessly. The .45 long Herter...

The main difference is I intend to keep my mods fully reversable versus no backing out of that mossberg horror

Boy does Marlin have a gun for you! I was a little confused by BOTH BARRELS, do you mean between the barrel and the mag tube? I wouldn't think there was room for any type of attaching screws between the tube and the barrel. Didn't you know I have an over/under 454/12g Lever rifle? :D The gap betwee...

Nice setup :D Got some feedback from another forum and they mention Rossi actually sells their own rails .

Congrats! i hear nothing but good things about the .357 lever, so i'm sure you'll have a hoot. They seem to all but fly off the shelves when they're in stock. That off geometry receiver has me a tad concerned tho. [runs off to check his recently acquired .454]

Anybody have an idea how he did this? An...

@ MrMurphy
You're right, of course. I normally detach the sling before shooting because of its independent mass. It's more for get-up-and-go sake.

Panzercat

I was hoping it would show what sort of devastation such a round would cause on various mediums. Instead I watch some guys getting their butts kicked by recoil like the other hundreds of anonymous youtube clips out there. Better luck next time i guess.

And NEVER buy a Rossi by mail order.
