Thank you for posting this. I'm glad you like your new rifle and that it works great. The points you gave us are very helpful for everyone that comes next wondering how the new leverguns are in terms of quality, durability, fit/finish, and usability. Your experience also explains to me the popularit...

TravisM

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I'm gonna try and reply to as many as possible. Last first. Trader Vic: You're right. There are some great Marlins and Winchesters on the used market. The problem is that if no one buys the new, why should anyone make the new? (I will admit that I might buy a used one i...

TravisM

Happy Birthday!

TravisM

I know that many here are fans of buying used, but someone needs to buy the new stuff otherwise they will stop making them all together. :shock: I figure I'm a good candidate for that role. I'm not going to hunt with it, I'm not looking for a collectors piece. It is going to be a range tool and a co...

TravisM

Yikes! Glad you're ok. That looked bad! Sorry about the Dodge/Ram. She was pretty.

TravisM

Happy Birthday!

TravisM

Thanks guys!

Didn't expect this at all. Sorry I don't post much. I'm not on the computer that often.

TravisM

Is it wrong for me to wish this rifle in 7.62x54R? You know, for historical reasons.

TravisM

Saw it today with the wife. We both enjoyed it thoroughly. Between the two of us, I was the one more critical. I would not say that The Lone Ranger or his civilian side, AKA John Reid, are anti gun. He is anti-killing. Just like the Clayton Moore model. (I never saw him kill anyone, just shot them i...

TravisM

It is a nice thought though.

TravisM

Personally, I prefer the wood and metal look myself over the tactical version, but wehen I showed a 19 year old a picture of the SPX, he fell in love!

Maybe, just maybe, the SPX is a way to get the Halo crowd into leverguns.

My dad was very adamant that you cant eat rabbit before the first frost, because of parasites. Distance of 15 yds, bow of 60lbs, used field points. Will use broadheads next time, fieldpoints are slow killers, even on small game. I heard the same about rabbits in Florida. Great shot though! 8)

TravisM

Happy Birthday!

TravisM

Happy Birthday guys.

TravisM

Prayer's sent.

TravisM

Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday, Missing.

TravisM

Never hunted in my life. I think its great that people can and do hunt though.

I just love putting lead down range (or making swiss cheese without the cheese as I call it.)

TravisM

There's not too much posting about .32s but gunslingerforum.com is a fan site all about Heritage Rough Riders. It might give you the information you're looking for.

TravisM

I think it's a great observation and am glad it was brought up.

I look at it this way. With my .357 levergun, I can effectively use the big rounds to properly hunt hogs with. If I buy an AR, I can now convert it to do the same with 300 blackout.

TravisM

Thanks for posting this great info.

I'm printing it out for my levergun "magazine/manual".

TravisM

That was cool. Thanks for posting it.

TravisM

Better to know now then find out later.

Thanks for passing the info. along.

TravisM

I think its a great choice.

Simple, rugged, reliable, and easy to maintain.

Perfect.

TravisM

Happy Thanksgiving. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable day.

TravisM

The fuel needed for that length of time depends on the generator. When hurricane Charlie hit the generators we used at work would run out of fuel roughly every third day. (It powered the travel trailer that was being used as the office. Computers, A/C, lights, ect) That was for both diesel and gas. ...

TravisM

Sorry for your loss. Prayer's are sent.

TravisM

That is a beautiful carbine there.

TravisM

@ slow2run: I have a few thoughts to throw in before you buy. What will you be wearing on average when you're carrying the gun? How will you be carrying it? (In the waistband, ankle, pocket, shoulder holster, ect.) I've just started carrying myself here in hot and sticky Florida and I will freely ad...

TravisM

Couldn't tell ya, but it never bothered me.

TravisM

That is a beautiful rifle there. Congrats!

Sorry I don't have a picture, but I have 1 trapper. 1894 Marlin in .357 that I bought new about 6 months ago. I traded in my Mossberg 464 and a S&W revolver for it. I just shoot at the range and didn't like the price of 30 WCF for just going down range. I own a Heritage Big Bore in .357 and figu...

TravisM

Looks great! I really like the practicality of the sights. Good luck on the hunts.

TravisM

Thanks Tycer. :) I listen to many gun podcasts (Down Range Radio, Pro Arms, Gun Dudes, Gun Review, The Gun Nation,...) and except for Doc Wesson's three episode special called Lever Love on Gun Nation, I can't find much else. I was hoping to find something like a podcast similar to all the great art...

TravisM

I love visiting this sight after work, but would like to have an audio outlet while I'm working. (Landscaper by trade.) Anyone know of a good levergun podcast I can listen to?

TravisM

I have two out of three personal deam combos.

Henry H-001 and Heritage Rough Rider in 22.
Marlin carbine in .357 with companion Heritage Big Bore.

My dream combo would be a 1894 Winchester and a BFR single action in 30/30. I know it's weird to want a 30/30 revolver, but...

TravisM

I'm pretty new into guns and have only been able to carry in the woods once. That one time, the gun I took was a Heritage Rough Rider revolver in .22lr.

I think taking along any .22 is a good choice.

TravisM

Payers sent, Steve. I know that you have helped some of my best friends with your DVD's, parts, and service and I can assure you that they wish you a speedy recovery as well.

TravisM

That's a great question there.

TravisM

Now that is unique. Thanks for sharing.

TravisM

I'd love to move to the mountains.

TravisM

Congrats on the retirement. I hope you don't mind me being late in the conversation, but I have a Heritage Big Bore in .357 and I love the thing! I've shot many boxes of ammo through it ranging from cowboy action level .38s to standard level .357 Magnum rounds by Remington and Winchester. I haven't ...

TravisM

Cool. I'll add that to my "walking" list. Thanks.

TravisM

I think my Marlin in .357 would do well.

Now the big question: Can we carry them while hiking the Appalachian trail?

TravisM

Just two.

A Henry in .22 lr
A Marlin 1894 in .38 spl/.357 mag

I'm planning on a 30-30 eventually. Possibly a 69 Winchester. (my birth year)

TravisM

Yep. gotta agree. Gator tastes like Gator. A mix of chicken and calamari. Usually sold in battered gator bites. I only had unbattered gator tail once and it was goooood! As for the gators themselves, IF they haven't been fed by idiot snowbirds or tourists, and it's not mating season, they willusuall...

TravisM

Can't wait to read it. Thanks for the link.

TravisM

I love visiting this sight, but can't do it at work.

Is there a good podcast that I can listen to that is all about leverguns?

Stories of the old west, good hunting with a lever, woods living with a levergun...

TravisM

After looking at the pic for a bit, I wonder if the guy was enjoying Buffalo Bill's Wild West show and decided to get a pic of himself while there.

TravisM

Congradulations!

Sounds like you're living the original American dream. Awesome!
