As I stated above I inspected several Remlingtons and 2 had crooked sights. I usually pull the sights off anyway but I am with others who are thinking "what else is wrong?" with this gun. I ended up spending considerably more on a Ruger 77/22 Stainless/Synthetic in 22 wmr but the quality ...

You did. Looks like an SBL to me!!

Perhaps mechanically, they are finally making a few non-lemonington's. For me, the pictured gun is laminate not walnut..... not to my liking and the dimensions of the stock resemble a fence post. Too bulky! :shock: I'd say they got a loooooooooog way to go before it compares to a JM. I totally unde...

Use a tang sight on my .303 Savage whose balistics and reloading components are identical to .30-.30 Winchester. Pushing a 170 grain bullet atop a load of IMR 3031 which is a couple grains over max according to current data. But then my Savage 1899b has a 26" octagon barrel and the recoil isn't...

Glad you got a good one. We had a get together at our Ga hunting lease this weekend, one of the guys had just got a new stainless guide gun, couldn't get it on paper at 25 yards and asked me to check it out, sights are canted pretty bad. I got him on paper by drifting the rear sight, but he is pret...

Well its very encouraging nonetheless. Remington makes a nice bolt gun so there is no reason why in my mind that they can't make these leverguns to be a dependable and a reliable firearm.

Win94

Or maybe i just lucked out? Picked up an 1895 GBL in .45-70 the other day. Fit and finish is decent, sights are straight and it cycles ammo reliably. The barrel date stamp codes it as maunfactured in 2015. Will see how it shoots. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Win94/Guidegun_zpsbglrctx1.jpg ...

@ Win94 my Great Grandfather's circa 1908 love that octagonal barrel, that's beautiful. I would fall hard for that rifle if I ever found a copy in 7.62, er, .308 . . . check the muzzle crown, it could want a little TLC, and that could rope in flyers a bit. although, that target is three dead veniso...

Yuppers. Have my Great Grandfather's circa 1908. Shoot 30 grains of IMR 3031 under a 170 grain Sierra flatnose. Bore is very dark on the ol girl. Haven't really played with alot of loads but i can muster up ok hunting accuracy at 100 yards i guess...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Win94/S...

Simply classic. Love that pic!!!

That's one nice buck! Congrats! All your pics are nice too. Hard to beat a 30/06 for a deer round! My vision and hope was to put down a respectable buck with one of my lever guns however the deer had other ideas last week. I will be carrying my 444 for the last two days this year to fill my doe tag...

Thank you so much for the kind responses. Sure enjoy sharing here....

Glad you got the deer. That snow looks nice hanging on them trees. But that's as close as I want to get. Hate the snow and cold temps like that now. I totally understand. But on the other hand, being at the end of that pipeline and blowing a grunt call and seconds later this dark buck showing his h...

Congrats to you both! Very nice pics. Any idea how much that buck weighed? Wow those Northern deer are massive!,,,,DT I couldn't hazzard a guess. Very big though for sure..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Win94/SAM_1561_zps68d32d2f.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v507/Win94/buck_zps...

Spent some time in the Hinton and Robb areas the last three days and battled minus 25 (-13 Farenheit) morning temps to get things done. Not alot moving but managed to grunt call a buck out on a pipeline and the missus connected on a doe. Had the .444 Marlin with us on the first day to push bush but ...

Now that's a snowshoe gun, sling that from the saddle ring and under your arm, it be pretty hard to get snow in the barrel of that one. For those of you who like to sling your rifles muzzle down that is. Yes i feel it will do double duty quite nicely. Looking at utilizing the shorter buttstock and ...

Win94

This may be a silly question but can you use that gun for bear protection in the back country? To me that would be an ideal canoe gun so to speak. One could paddle north on one of the great rivers for the entire summer. Oh here I go day dreaming again. yes. Seeing as how its classified as a non res...

I can't see why a 265 grain "regular" Hornady bullet can be ok, but a 265 grain gummy point would not stabilize..... :? :? The old MG barrels were not supposed to be good for the really heavy 300+ grain, but I"ve never tried those.... Its a longer bullet. That is why. As for the Winc...

Win94

Be sure your barrel is the new 1 in 20 twist rather than the old microgroove 1 in 38 twist. The older twist rates do not stabilize those leverlution bullets very well and accuracy can be horrendous. I have heard the Leverlutions work in some old 1 in 38 twists but not often. If you have the older 1 ...

Good going for Canada on that law so what's the receipt for the wood? ollogger oh heck I spelled recipe wrong, I like the finish on the stock was wondering bout it It's a very simple and cheap finish.

The buttstock was $104.00 with tax. I was able to buy it at a local gun parts store in Edmonton on my lunch break. Very happy with it. Goin on a road trip tomorrow to buy powder to reload for it. Unfortunately the dealer is only selling 1lb per buyer. We are in the midst of a shortage up here....

Picked up a Ranch Hand in .44 Magnum last week. I picked up a full size buttstock, inletted where it had to be inletted and refinished the original forestock and finished the buttstock to match.... Now i have a Rossi 1892 Trapper style with a barrel that is 12" overall length that i am pretty ...

Thank you for starting this thread my fellow Canuck! I have a 1-3.5 compact on my 444 that I need to try this technique on. I did fine with it this past fall with the usual one eye closed but now u have me thinking.....

Nice sight on your 243, OI. Yours lets the cocking indicator show while my Williams covers it. Is that one a Redfield? And your old rifle sure has a fine classic look, Win94. I'm assuming its a .303?

That looks great......Who made it? :mrgreen: A fella out of Calgary just down the highway from me made it. Its a hobby for him and not a full fledged career as he works in the oil patch up here in Alberta. it was a three month wait but well worth it...... :D Would that be "coho" from CGN?...

I'm unsure Jerry. I'm not much of a knife guy. Are they sought after much?

Congrats all the way around. Now, what is the difference in the model. In 1972 they went from a 24" barrel to a 22" barrel and added the "S" to the model 444 which stoood for "sporter". In 1976 they dropped the barrel band and went to the forestock cap you see in the f...

Seems like you are taking a bullet made for '06 velocities and hoping it will still perform a little bit with 500 fps less velocity. And it may or it may not. You shoot a broadside deer at 100 yards with that and it isn't going to expand at all, though it might be just fine for that "raking sh...

At the .30-.30 velocities? I want to use them in both my .303 Savage and Winchester 94 .30-.30. Will the Hornady or even the Sierra expand at those lower velocities?

I could fix that stock and nobody could ever tell. I do it all the time for Targetmaster. I've removed social security numbers, names, carvings, rust, etc. that were engraved in the wood, barrels and the metal locks on 200 year old guns and put the patina back in it's place. I'm not trying to give ...

At this point, I think the only option you have is a replacement stock. Everyone's idea about what a rifle should look like is different.
