I use a S&W 586 6" .357 for small to medium stuff (groundhogs up to deer) and a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 LC for anytime I want/need a heavier caliber. My suggestion is buy what "feels" right for you and practice with it often. Hunt small game or varmints if you can - hitting a deer s...

AndyM

With a 5 digit ser.# - it is an early model - certainly pre-64
Great guns, those 88's...

I bought a double rifle case by SKB for my first trip out west. The case held up wonderfully well against the airline baggage handlers. I could/would reccomend this brand to anyone looking for a hard travel case...

Not a bad idea at all - maybe some more hi cap Glock mags are in my future

AndyM

I witnessed a buddy shoot a Timber rattler that was snuggled up next to our camp one year with the CCI 38 special shot loads - that guy went limp pretty quick. IMO those shells work real when for thost vermin....

AndyM

I going to get a S&W 642 38 specials for concealed carry, this would share the job with the Kel-Tec .380 I already own - after that one - A 1894 in 32 Special. I do not know what it is about 32 specials, but I always wanted one - hopefully it can be in a SRC configuration...

AndyM

very nice - I love those 73's
good investment also...

AndyM

Did you notice Bill Oglesby shooting the 92 leveraction? They siad it was a Winchester but he was shooting a Rossi. Cut the hangmans rope, too. Cool!!! I saw this part - it was pretty cool. Except they said the bullet was a 45 caliber, which in history, was never chambered in a levergun - to do the...

My wife and I honeymooned at a Club Med in Antigua - that was 10 years ago this upcoming July. The island was great, people were freindly, and everything was in English. The exact resort we stayed at, I beleive was leveled in hurricane later on that same year, but I am sure it was re-built by someone.

Now... THAT was funny!

I still wish there was a factory to write too!

AndyM

congrats!

he should consider himself a lucky man.
It sounds like he got bitch slapped pretty good.

AndyM

very nice pair - I love to see and hear about those old Winchesters in action

AndyM

My favorite rifle with one of my favorite cartridges

AndyM

you'll love the 32-20 - I know I do!
congrats...

AndyM

A rifle that begins with a 4.... one of the 416's or the 458 Winchester - I always thought I'd like to have a 458 Model 70 some day, just in case I ever get to the Africa

I would have to say for me it would be my Winchester 1892 in 32-20. Although my Marlin 45-70 has taken more meat than the 32-20, But my Winchester 9422 get the most range time....

AndyM

32-20 WCF all the way - although it has to be fired in a Winchester 1892
The 22 hormet is also a great little gun...

AndyM

welcome, pull up a chair and have some fun...

AndyM

Buy a hunting lic. and get out there - anywhere...

A bad day hunting still beats a good day working somewhere...

AndyM

Winchester 9422 22LR for me.
Followed by my Remington 572 pump, ruger 10/22 customized semi, Ruger MKII bull barrel target handgun, and my Dad's Single Six

AndyM

Just out of curiosity has anyone here used H322? I noticed that both my Sierra 5th edition manual as well as Brian Pearce had good things to say about it. In a article not to long ago done up by Mr. Pearce, he said H322 only had 8 FPS SD when loaded with a Nosler 170gr Partition. He also went on to...

My Guide Gun and my Winchester 88 in .308 are 2 of my most accurate leverguns. The Guide Gun can make one BIG cloverleaf at 50 yds. The 88 can hold about an 1" at 100 yds.

AndyM

The 45-70 was the first and the best

AndyM

I have a Leupold fixed 2.5 in Weaver rings and have no issues - I can take them off and put them back on time and time again without missing a beat.

Plain Weavers are removable and the Leaupld scope is just the ticket on the Guide Gun.

AndyM

good shooting - those 22 mag's are great little rounds

AndyM

Welcome to the forum - but be warned... hanging around here for long enough will lighten your wallet...

AndyM

nice going - so far my spring season in Pennsylvania has been a bust - but I am gonna give it a whirl again tomorrow morning...

AndyM

I don't know if my Old Town Canoe could withstand that impact

+1 - I'd pick up the 73's if given the chance....

AndyM

32-20 WCF and 45-70 - #1 and #2 - but really any cartridge that is 100+ years old. The 45 Colt is another one of my favorites - along with the 30-30 and 30-06

The 32 WCF got me "in to" older Winchester lever actions and is possibly my favorite.

AndyM

March is a good time of year to get married - it is after hunting seasoning is mostly over and it is before the fishing gets really good...

AndyM

congrats - it sounds like you have alot to be proud of - keep up the work - it is paying off...

AndyM

no - not really - we'll head to our camp in north-central Pennsylvania a few times to camp and fly fish - and will be spending the customary week at the beach somewhere in Delware or Maryland - probably Ocean City Maryland

AndyM

That is a cool picture - I agree with the Winchester 76 guess...

AndyM

It is a neat picture. I am not certain the barrel needs to be removed, although the cost is less if you just send the barrel - removing the barrel on a Remington pump is not that difficult if you have the tools to do it properly - it does save on shipping costs and yes the blast is slightly louder, ...

AndyM

In one word - yes. I own and a lot of my Pennsylvania deer camp members hunt with Remington 760/7600 30-06 carbines, the PA pump gun - I have shoot both Magna-ported and non Magna-ported verisons side by side - and in my opinion - the ones with the ports significantly reduced muzzle jump - I was so ...

AndyM

Nice Rifle - My Guide Gun seems to prefer Reloader 7 powder with 350 gr. Hornady FP's. Some of the deer around here - really do not prefer that combination.

AndyM

At our deer camp - we sleep on cots in basically an open loft type upstairs - we have had up to 30 people in the area - there have been times when I had to wear earplugs to fall asleep. Went hunt as a gang - so waking up is not an issue either...

it is a funny story...

AndyM

that is a real pretty sidearm. I think that would be a great woods bummin' gun...

AndyM

myself - I am thinking a S&W 642 to protect me when the gov't men in black come to take me in. I already have Kel-Tec .380 - but a nice stainless 38 special +P would be nice to have - and would make a good fishin' gun.

AndyM

I own more Leupold 2-7x32's than any other scope - so that is always my first choice - although the last scope I purchased was Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40 for a Ruger 10/22 - I wanted alittle more at the top end for load ammo testing and punching paper. I have owned a few Bushnell Trophy's in the past an...

AndyM

I do not use that one - but I know people who use it with their 25-20 wcf

I handled one and spent some time shooting one - I will someday have a longer barrel 45-70 to go with my guide gun and Pedersoli Sharps. Although the Marlin is nice - I think I am with Griff on this one and will be getting a 1886 model. You can't go wrong with the Marlin - they are fine shootin' iro...

AndyM

Great Pair - I have been looking for a Colt SAA in 32-20 to go with my 1892 Winchester - holy cow - they are expensive...

AndyM

I used to shoot a Mod. 19 alot - and that is the one reason my first handgun purchase after turning 21 was a S&W mod. 586 in 357.
