I have absolutely no issues with a short scope or optic on any levergun. it tells me the hunter places hunting ethics above nostalgia. I have a Weaver 2.25 on my 307 BB 1894, and a Burris Scout scope on a favorite 356 Marlin. XS fwd rails make the job easy and solid as a rock. Years ago I could plac...

Linda, I believe would be the CFO of the organization. In the back room counting the Beans. Maybe. But the reality is I passed this thread on to a few locals here (who actually spend money in PHX gun stores), and I have personally passed Legendary up on the last couple of gun-buying trips into the ...

I lost both of my Llewellin Setters in one year. I still feel their breath some nights.

Sorry for your loss but I can imagine the priceless days and moments you must've shared. You were/are blessed.

Looks like you're well-prepared for the midnight patrol shift in St. Louis!

Easy, I agree. My old aerospace/defense company had the same policy reviewed on vehicles, after one inspector sat in his car at lunchtime and re-decorated his interior in brain matter ala 357 Magnum. Parking spaces are real estate, and that costs money. Companies pay that money, not the employees. B...

Well... I've been shopping there for decades and have NEVER heard of a "Linda".
-Never even seen a woman working there come to think of it.

I have dealt with Legendary for many years and many (many) thousands of dollars. All has been fine and fair dealing IME. They tag guns for "walk-in" customers but are pretty easy to deal with and especially with used guns, as things should be. They are survivors when other gun sellers cave...

This gun will sell well, but I've heard... that Lipsey's pre-paid for 5000? and probably no more? Who knows how long we'll be able to order one, but I say get one while you can . Some may return to store shelves later - with 10 rounds missing from a box of ammo, ala the S& 29 in the '70s? The Bl...

I'd like to see that pup! There are two Spring Valley zip codes in az, so I'm presuming you're heading for the one near here, which is at I-17 and hwy 69... Coming through PHX, Legendary Guns is worth the stop. Couple rooms full of single-actions and leverguns and hundreds of others. Phoenix is full...

Tritium is a gas. A radioactive isotope of hydrogen. Let's go back to 8th grade science class... Tritium decays and in the process releases energy, noticeably the light emitted by looking into the end or lens of a small glass tube. It has a half-life of approx 12.3 years, which to the shooter simply...

Nice pics! The valley north pf Prescott used to have waves, literally carpets of antelope grazing along the highway. It was a sight to watch as the entire hillsides seemed to undulate with orange/white animals. Nowadays one is pretty lucky to see a herd/harem of one hundred in an entire season. We h...

Look at the Accubond as the latest revision designed by computers. The Partition started them all and is still top-shelf, but there are excellent (and cheaper!) bullets available in 2015.

I prefer the Barnes Triple-shock X for the once-in-a-lifetime potential shot.

I lived and hunted in MI for many years, and one of my favorites was the 375Win Contender for corn & bean-stuffed whitetails. In the "shotgun zone" in that state, F&G allowed straight-walled cartridges of at least 35 caliber in a handgun. So that put me and my 375 in compliance and...

I know there are not many out there. They didn't even have their own owner's manual, as they were made in so few numbers. The CEO of Taurus USA wanted them made to recoup some of the market void left by the inept/now-defunct Winchester execs, and T modified the 62 action to make a fine IMO, levergun...

Spoiler Alert: The show is/was 100% scripted and edited for entertainment and sponsor approval, complete with verbal product placements.

Troopers and DoC officers' guns. The shot gun that the escapee had in his possession belonged to a Trooper or DoC officer , and the media ain't sayin' much more about it. "Course anyone could call the reporter(s) and ask... I don't begrudge anyone keeping legal private property on thier own leg...

Just got an update, Cabelas is having a 60% off sale. Up to 60% off an inflated retail price. I've been wanting a pair of Rocky's that were $159.99 retail, watching for sales. Cabela's ad says they're now $199.99 retail - BUT they'll take 50% off that figure!!! Sure, customers are that stupid. Ther...

The police say that the two escapes from New York prison got their guns and ammo from a hunters cabin that had stored guns and ammo, that seems crazy to me. In actuality they were NYS Troopers and DoC officers who owned that cabin, and left "so many guns there we don't really know how many gun...

still running 7 on my work laptops. It is all Boeing and NASA - MSC will allow (compatability with Sharepoint/Office, etc.). When those two go to Windows 8.x, I'll follow. Probably.

I understand the Enfield and the Martini had to go home with you... but "six large"??? On what did you spend the other five thousand+ bucks?

Drop him another $600-800 for the pristine 28 and go shooting!

Hated the idea of adjustable rear on a Bearcat. Until I handled one. Nod for the Bearcat. Not my first choice if there's a big cat in the area, but I have no 22LR ammo shortage and it'll make a great all-day carry SA for every other trail & pack gun. Buying new Rugers keeps them in business. Do ...

Seems an informed miscreant might just carry a revolver, and avoid leaving that much more evidence behind. Or scatter a few un-touched pick-up cases to mislead investigators...? Then again, could be just AP blather, by design to support the anti-Rights push for more of the "micro-stamping"...

Highest quality and value for a non-custom rifle.

- compared to what? The much-vaunted "pre-1964" guns were essentially hand-built due to the poor quality of components. TOday's components are nearly 100% in quality.

Sorry SteveR, I cannot take pleasure, like you, do in the face of such a tragedy. The employees didn't "deserve" such a fire destroying their workplace, regardless of your singular experience with a product. You must really love it when a flood or tornado destroys hundreds of lives - guess...

Another vote for Dillon. I started with the 550 as my first press, Dillon upgraded it (no charge) to the B config, and I've never regretted it. I've loaded twenty or so cartridges on it and bough another 550B, and a SDB dedicated to 45ACP. I only use a single-hole press for priming and special loads...

Methinks the carbine is a fine choice beit home or ranch. Inside 100 yards it has more impact energy than a 44 mag revolver (load selection considerations) Is that not enough to perforate human torso?

Re-reading the OP, I have to ask how sure is he that the neighbor did the damage? I knew a couple of criminal "tree surgeons" who could pull off this type of theft caper ten times a month once they knew the property owner had not bothered to visit in years. I knew of a dock that had been s...

what is this concept of "selling" a gun as you say?

SO if I pick it up... and have it Cerakoted in say OD green or Gunmetal grey would that offend anyone?

Some may assign ignorance but more likely, a seller has experienced a recent ATF audit?

I ran into a goodly supply of 165 gr. Leverevolution bullets and a couple hundred factory rounds, so no need to shoot lead for me. While the wood has a few dents but no scratches, and the metal is probably better than 90%, no edge shine or wear. I'm pretty conservative with grading, but then I own s...

I quit casual shooting in the desert for many of the same reasons in the OP. Too many places for my body to be found. But the clincher was a G&F officer who suddenly appeared with hand-on-gun. He politely asked for ID and checked over the truck. Then he "reminded" me that once I began ...
