I have a Martin Mamba recurve and love it. I killed one doe with it a few years back. Before Kids - I could shoot very regular and became quite good. Since my children came along - my time is much more limited - I have only hunted with my Hoyt compound the last few years - some day will shoot the re...

AndyM

That there my friend - is a classic
looks good!

AndyM

+1 for Lyman

AndyM

For what it is worth...
after much experimentation and trials - I have switched to Lil'Gun for my .357 hotter loads from 2400

AndyM

If you are strickly shooting for groups off a bench - how about the .222 Remington. Mild shooting, cheap to reload for, accurate as almost any other round - still found in factory versions. I beleive the .222 was one of the first benchrest rounds, also one of the most popular back in its day. If you...

AndyM

Yeah - those Sharps are really cool, but I was trying to see the fence in the background - no way was that a wild hunt. It was still good shooting by the hunter.

AndyM

how about a 158g wadcutter type lead bullet with @ 3.8 g. of titegroup. My standard 38 special plinking load.

AndyM

another vote for the Marlin...

AndyM

2 words - buy it....

AndyM

My Mother would tell her friends and family as early a age 2 - they would put a gun in my hand and I would be happy for hours. Needless to say - it does a father proud when my 3 year old asks if he can sleep with his toy guns that he plays with all day.

AndyM

I agree - that seems high to me. Gunbroker and others have them listed fairly regular and going price for a slightly used on runs $450-$600. If you enjoy shooting .22's and lever actions - do yourself a favor and pick one of these up. In my opinion, it puts the current henry standard model to shame.

AndyM

I think I am going to buy a new gun safe with my rebate, that way I can keep the economy going - I'll buy a new safe then I'll have room again to buy more firearms, so on and so on... What a great system...

AndyM

I think it is a great idea. I sort of have this set-up with my Winchester 9422 and 1894 carbine. Both have lyman peeps on them with the same size peep diameter hole. Their front sights are slightly different with the 9422 being finer than the 30-30 - the handling, balance, and feel of these to are q...

AndyM

Does having a barrel relined - say a 1873 or 1892 Winchester - by a gunsmith like these guys http://www.redmansrifling.com/ reduce the firearms overall value? My opinion is that any firearm is made to be used and should be as accurate as possible, yet I know there are some people out there that look...

AndyM

My general purpose/plinking load for handguns and my rifle is 6.0 grains of Titegroup under a 250 lead bullet. Easy on the pocketbook to load and accurate to boot!

AndyM

here is an article I always found helpful...

Hobie said

I never give value to the scope sight when I buy.

I agree - except if the scope is a leupold/burris

As far as price - I would put it anywhere from $350 up - under $350 it is a very good deal that you should act upon

AndyM

I have been known to visit the Shiloh board, rimfire central, varmint hunters, the high road, and firing line - but probably like most - I spend the most time here....

AndyM

very nice collection

AndyM

Wow - I would take her bowhunting anytime she wanted.

AndyM

nice scope - what is it a Leupold fixed 2.5x?
If it is - it is the same scope my guide carries
looks good

AndyM

I assume you mean spring turkeys - my FALL turkey load is a Winchester 1892 in 32-20 with a 115 lead FP bullet and about 9g of 2400. If you are talking spring turkey - I would not load your own - I buy Winchester high velocity in the black box. #5 shot use a Remington 870 Super Mag 3.5" - altho...

AndyM

It is an interesting set up, probably easy to shoot - but I feel alot like Griff - the traditionalist in me says NO -

I can handle 94's with scopes and all the Marlin's - but not the beloved 1892

AndyM

So Far, from what I have been told - I hear the hogs are only located in the SouthWest area of PA. Greene, Fayette, and Somerset counties - but I am sure other counties have them established there.

I have never seen one in PA

AndyM

that is too funny! I already copied, pasted, and e-mailed out to a few friends.

AndyM

my vote...
Quigley Down Under - Classic - you got to love those Sharps...

AndyM

this looks to be a newer smaller vaquero - they are known not to be as strong as the older vaquero/blackhawk frame - still a bad loss, but glad nobody was hurt. You have to pay attention when reloading....

AndyM

nice lookin' guns - I am sure you will enjoy them.

AndyM

I own the Kel-Tec .380 and have been pleased with it, but at the time if Ruger had a comparable product - I no doubt would have bought the Ruger.

AndyM

I guess to each his own.

My guide has the stock lever - but if I were to get one, which I have often thought about - I would go with the DRC

AndyM

nice find... only happened to me once so far - I went in to the local FFL holder in the area, who has a small shop - to pick-up a copy of his FFL to send out for a Winchester 9422 for $325 (at the time) - I looked on the rack and there is a newly placed mint, mid-80's 9422 - I asked how much and whe...

AndyM

If I was looking to sell this - what is it a fair market price? I bought the 5.5" Ruger Blackhawk 45 LC with the extra blued, 45 ACP cylinder and have only shot about 25 rounds of 45 ACP through it - it just does not seem right to me - that gun was made for 45 LC and boy does it love them - fro...

AndyM

I beleive this is a great group of people who visit here and I always take into considerations all of your opinions when asked (and sometimes even when they are not asked :P )... So, here is my dilemma and this is a good dilemma to have - I have built a little stash of money and it is time to cut it...

AndyM

I use 6 grains. I can then keep my powder measure set and switch freely between 45 LC and 44-40 WCF. This load makes a good plinking load.

AndyM

very nice, good find

AndyM

I vote scope - I have a Leupold fixed 2.5 on my Marlin Guide Gun. It is mounted in the last slots on the XS scout rail - almost right up against the ghost ring - I like the set up and seems to work for me. The Leupold fixed scopes have plenty of eye relief for this application.

AndyM

+1 for the Williams - this one slides on the 22 grooves - it is made for 22's
I did have to put a higher front sight on - although right now I do not know what size. I want to say something like .450". I have been very pleased with it.

AndyM

Andrew Posted: Shoot. Shovel. Shut up.

that is something I agree with - no way would I want that hanging around my front yard

AndyM

I love this round. I cannot think of a better duo than the winchester 1892 and the 32-20 - to me it seems like they were made for each other. A lead 115 FP has enough to meat behind it to be a great all-around woods bumming round. Seems about perfect for turkeys, groundhogs, fox sized game - when pr...

AndyM

I would consider $350 a good fair deal

AndyM

I have been an annual memeber for about 15 years - while I do not think they are 100% correct in their views all the time - I support the casue 100%

Rusty - yes the .223 can be loaded down to match higher end preformance. I do not think you would get great results trying to match the whole range of hornet preformance. In my opinion - the hornet really does fill the gap in preformance between the rimfires (22 and 22 mag) and the preformance of th...

PM sent for the link
thanks

AndyM

I have the Ruger 77/22 in 22 hornet. I like the hornet - I often find myself hunting groudhogs or foxes at night - close to houses. The 22 hornet does not not seem to 'crack' the same as my .223 and it is a whole lot better than the 22-250 I used to have. I load mine with 40g Vmax or BT's with a ful...

AndyM

TOO FUNNY...

AndyM

I'll be there also. I am not sure which day yet - depends on my family obligations and if my father in-law wants to come also. I only live about 20 minutes away - so no big deal. I think I am going in as more of a look - rather than a buy. I have been saving up for some type of Sharps 1874. If one w...

AndyM

might be some hidden treasures there. Looks like a lot of military items that I am not sure of their value or worth. I can see (what looks like) a marlin 336 and another lever - maybe an early winchester 9422. A couple of rimfire bolts - you might be able to pick one of them up cheap. I like the can...

AndyM

I am getting into this a little late - but get a Ruger. They are built like a tank. I bought one in 45 LC with the extra cylinder in 45 ACP - I have only put 6 rounds through the ACP cylinder - and I should sell it off on gunbroker or someplace - I love shooting 45 LC in mine. I did have the undersi...
