Re: When you were a kid..........

My first was a Daisy BB gun with a "built in ricochet sound"(zzzzzzzzzzeeeeeeeeeee!) when I was about 7. My Dad removed the ricochet sound cause he said it'd scare off the squirrels and grackles I shot at. Next was a break-barrel CZ 22cal pellet gun... then for Christmas of my 12th year(ab...

Re: Are you alone for the Holidays (4)?

I recall reading 86ers post last year and then bawling like a kid at the thought of such generosity and compassion. His post is one major reason I choose to visit this forum daily. It always amazes me how the Levergun Community gentlemen act more like friends and mentors than ANY other gun group/sit...

Re: What's your passion: the rifle, hunt or ammo?

For me (at this point in my life)...... it's the hunt with my sons and family. I'd go into the woods unarmed just to be with them and enjoy the comraderie and experiences of the day. Second, it's my rifle..... there just seems to be some kind of magic for me when I hoist that Mod 94 onto my shoulder...

Finally a decision!

I've come to the realization that the 30-30 is "my" cartridge (perfect recoil for me, perfect for my "style" of hunting) The question is, where do i go from here? I've got a beautiful pre 64 Win.... its a great thing to hold and shoot. I just don't wanna hurt it! Plus, i need a s...
