I often use a Leupold fixed 2.5X in low weaver rings on my guide gun, after many, many rounds, there has not been an issue. These are stiff reloaded rounds also.

AndyM

I usually have my Kel-Tec .380 along. I also tried the regular Taurus 85 and the Glock 23. The Kel-Tec has the most carrying miles on it. with it's holster, the whole package is smaller and lighter than my wallet.

A cold steel knife is almost always along also...

$750 - wow That is why gunbroker/auction arms/gunsamerica was made - I would think you could find on cheaper than that. I will say that the 32-20 is a great round and someday I would like to own a Marlin 32-20 to go with the Winchester. That way I could have one lever with the tang sight (Winchester...

Great Pictures - reminds me that I have to start saving my $$ again for another 92 or something similar

AndyM

Very cool - the rainbow picture is cool

AndyM

congrats - all the best - let's hope you can find some time to sleep in the next few weeks. My oldest 2 (twins) are 4.5 and the newest girl is almost 9 months. You'll be busy - but it is the best kind of busy. Being a good father takes time and alot of effort and I am just getting started

AndyM

I load my own - with 170 grain Hornady bullets - but I always have a box or 2 of remington green box around. I've killed a mess of deer with Remington factory loads.

In the barn, in trees and such, yes, but nothing but fire ants on the ground (and they don't fly!).

yeah - but don't you have "killer bee's" and fire ants in Texas to contend with? Not many of those up north...

agree - welcome to the mix...

AndyM

The .32-20 is an outstanding round and probably my all time favorite. I've knocked off a pile of critters with it and have more leverguns chambered in the the 32WCF that any other cartridge. Fairly quiet, almost no recoil. Here's my favorite. Made in 1917. I bought it at an auction while I was stil...

AndyM

Anything more than $650 you should save some more money and buy a Winchester 1892, if you can find one. The 44-40 is a very fun round capable of doing alot of things.

AndyM

nice find on a great rifle. I agree with everyone - mine like's 150 gr. also

My reloading nights are usualy late nights due to the fact that I ussually do it after the kids go to bed. I like to do it on weekends but that gets kinda hard between all the Honey does and Daddy does just not enough time in the day. about the same for me - leaving the house at 6:45am and not gett...

AndyM

I always had good luck with Hornady 350 g FP and Re-7 powder.
I have just begun the process of using Acc-5744 and 405 g. lead FP's for plinking in my Pedersoli Sharps and my father-in-laws Trapdoor

AndyM

34 since April - I am just darn fortunate my favorite rifles are much older than that!

AndyM

First, welcome aboard! Reliable can be dependent on your budget as well. I know many here who disagree, but i think the best overall value is the stuff from Lee Precision. Not the highest quality, nor the lowest, but among the best priced. Everyone I know who has a Dillon swears by them - but they ...

AndyM

First, welcome aboard! I agree with OI - for the beginning reloading, I would stay away from a Progressive press, and go with a single-stage unit. Even if you later move up to a turret or a progressive press, you'll keep the single stage - trust me, BTDT! Good luck! +1 I started with a RCBS single ...

AndyM

Will it help you in your current life situation? Maybe or Maybe not... but one thing I beleive in is eductation and the education system's we have in our country - sure they might not all be perfect, but where else in the world can you go and get a quality education, that for the most part, is avail...

very nice...

Seeing that today was the last day in the Battle of Gettysburg and the date of Pickett's charge - I ordered the double DVD movie set of Gettysburg and Gods and Generals - yesterday. I have made a pact to myself to try to learn some more about the Civil War and go visit and spend some time at Gettysb...

AndyM

too high for me - with rust - looking at $200 to $250

AndyM

+1 on that one

Guns - mostly for Taffin and Mike Venternio (not sure of the spelling)

AndyM

all and all - we should all be pleased with the outcome.
The NRA is - I already got the e-mail from them.

very nice - I'll take 2 of each...

AndyM

very nice - have fun with it

http://sports.yahoo.com/ten/news?slug=reu-wimbledonpigeons&prov=reuters&type=lgns Now this is pretty funny. I wonder what caliber and guns they used in the cull? Being in England and all their red tape for guns - it is pretty funny they went to this operation. The hawks they tried to use we...

AndyM

How about a 218 Bee?
I really enjoy my 22 hornet in the Ruger 77/22 and think a scoped 218 bee would be a good roaming woodchuck rifle.

AndyM

good dealin' although you did let some nice guns go - I always tell me wife that my safe is alot like heaven - there is always room for one more

AndyM

looks like a sweet purchase - I hear those 41 mags are great whitetail slayers....

Agree with this 100%

my 93 in 32-20 wcf is probably the most "fun" leveraction I own. I can understand exactly how you had such a good time...

AndyM

I have a set on my Marlin Guide Gun - and have been happy with them.
I hope you like them...

I use Re-7 for my Marlin hunting loads and the 350g hornady flat point.
For my fun shooting load it is aa-5744 under a lead 405 - usually out of my Pedersoli Sharps...

A - was a Winchester model 88 in .308 - this rifle absolutly started me down the path towards Winchesters other lever actions; 1892 (3), 1894 (2), 9422 - hopefully someday an 1886 and 1873. B - my first rimfire was a Remington 572 pump (my dad was a pure Remington pump guy) - I bought the 9422 when ...

AndyM

Most of my shots here in Pennsylvania at deer average about 75 yards or less. This year was different - I shot a doe with my in-line T/C muzzleloader across a field at about 125 yards. It was not a really hard shot - was in a tree stand and the in-line had a 2-7x leupold on it. The closest shot I ca...

AndyM

as long as you are happy with it - that is all that matters.
congrats on the purchase...

The camp is right on the banks of Penns Creek for you flyfishers out there and surrounded by miles and miles of open mountain land available for hunting. I'll also post a picture of a w...

AndyM

Nice report - I also use Titegroup for my plinking 45 colt loads. 6 grains does will in both my Ruger Blackhawk and Puma 92 rifle. I tried HS-6, Unique, but settled on Titegroup. clean burning and low charge weights add up to alot of fun shooting for me.

Also Congrats on 30 years!

AndyM

I can't really say anything new - except welcome to the board.

Read, then re-read one more time what Hobie said.

If you really need another opinion - I enjoy the 92 action style - that would be your Puma.

AndyM

In my safe it would be the Winchester 88 in .308 or the Pedersoli Sharps in 45-70. If I were to go out today and buy a "long range" lever gun - I would be hard pressed to walk by a newer Browning in 30-06, 270, or such. I even think they make a small caliber one in 22-250 - can't get much ...

AndyM

congrats! that is a nice bear - should look great as a rug or mount?

AndyM

I guess - I am on the younger side of the bell curve within this group - having been born in the mid 1970's - and using some quotes and pictures for my personal stuff - I was a huge Star Wars fan - I remember my parents taking me to the drive-in to watch the first Star Wars movie - I was probably on...

AndyM

Nice shooting - I agree a good peep on the back end could help tighten those groups up.

AndyM

I like the old way better - with the new version selected - it just did not seem right - I feel better now having changed to the old style - almost feels like home now...

AndyM

IMO - this is usually a pretty good show - although I will not be attending.

AndyM

Poor Guy - how would you like to live your life as a genetic freak - I think somebody should shoot the poor guy and put it out misery... Pass the A1 sauce....

AndyM

I think in general thier data is ok - I would always cross ref. with a published industry loading books from one of the major companies out there and always remember to treat each gun as a law upon itself...
