my choice - is a Cold Steel 3" Voyager - everytime my wallet is in a pocket so is this knife. It is a tanto straight blade. My Pap used to quiz me - to see if I had the 4 things every man should carry. They were a wallet, watch, hankerchief, and knife.

I am also one partial to pump guns, esp. Remington 760/7600 series. I have shoot handfuls of these rifles and I have yet to find one that I would rate un-accurate. I own only one, but it is a pure and simple deer hunting gun. A Remington 7600 carbine that was magna-ported to reduce muzzle lift and c...

AndyM

my woods hunting rifles that wear scopes, all have Leupold 2-7x on them. I feel it is the perfect combo of power and usefulness...

AndyM

really nice fox and great looking rifle.

AndyM

sounds very interesting. I have an old 12 g JC Higgins in the safe that could be a recruit.

AndyM

That is pretty nice!

AndyM

I first tried titegroup and had so-so results. From some advice I received from the people here I tried 2400. I started at 7 grains and that is where I stayed. 7 grains and 115 cast lead FP shoot really good out of my Winchester 1892. It is very mild and a great plinking load. I also have some Horna...

AndyM

very nice. I love .22's - I seem to get the .22 fever at times also.

AndyM

The 7600 is a great gun in my opinion. The gun rack in our Central Pennsylvania deer racks are filled with either 760/7600's or leverguns - no wonder I fit in there so good. I have never seen one of these pump guns shoot bad. I have handled and shot 243, 308, 30-06, 270, 6mm and all were shooters. M...

AndyM

My vote is a 1892 Winchester clone

AndyM

All the pictures are very sweet

AndyM

Have a great and safe trip, God bless...

AndyM

I did the same thing with my contender pistols a while back - at first I thought a 14" scoped pistol would be really cool - I just never could warm up to the whole thing. Beleive me I tried - I had a 223 barrel, a 30-30 barrel, and a 22 barrel - I sold them all off, now just have a 223 rifle ca...

I use plain CCI LR in my smokeless loads. When I get around to loading some blackpowder loads for my Italian Sharps, I beleive I'll switch to Mag. primers. Light smokeless to heavier 45-70 seem to do fine with standard LR - for me. I remember reading the Winchester primers are the "hottest"...

AndyM

I would buy the Winchester with no questions asked. I know alot of people really love their Marlins, but for me - the Winchester 9422 is the finest lever action 22 out there in the last 30 years.

You can pick up a Henry anytime in the future and Winchester 9422 are getting much more hard to find

AndyM

Minute of pop can is a good gauge for me...... I don't shoot paper much. I get it on where I want it, then I shoot rocks, or pop cans or what ever. I use Jeff Cooper's rule for shot groups. One shot....did it hit? Yes? Good Group :wink: +1 on this. I usually shoot 3 shot groups - I think 2.5" ...

AndyM

My Guide gun with the XS peep sights is a true hunting gun, at least for my type of hunting. I do some driving and some stalking and roaming around the mountains. If you were taking a stand - I would go with the cowboy - if you are doing any type of roaming, the guide is the way to go. Although, an ...

AndyM

whitetail doe
350 gr. Hornady FP
Reloader 7 powder
Rem. brass
CCI LR primer
Lee Factory crimp

pass through, dropped on the spot, about 65 yards
going about 1900 fps

AndyM

+1 on the 32-20. Probably my most favorite round to shoot. A good cast FP in 115 grain makes a good hunting bullet for what you are looking for

AndyM

I own both. A 308 in a Winchester 88 and 2 30-06 a Remington 700 and a Remington 7600 carbine. For a true hunting gun, I think a 30-06 is very hard to beat, but for shooting targets I would get the .308. There is a better availability of match ammo available for the 308, plus in a bolt gun, the shor...

AndyM

+1 on what Joe said - I have never seen or handled one - so best that I do not comment

AndyM

What, nobody suggested a Winchester 92 model? I would look at one of the imported models of the Winchester 92 - they are perfect match for that round.

Of the 2 I would pick the Winchester, some of the Marlins I worked with were somewhat "tricky" with cast bullets.

AndyM

Bravo for him..
he sure has a set of big ones...

AndyM

one that should be ranked as one of the most shocking statements...

"Luke... I am your father"
from Star Wars V - Empire Strikes Back

Nobody saw that coming....

AndyM

What about good old Jack N. in a Few Good Men - "you can't handle the Truth"
all-time favorite.

AndyM

I'd jump on the deal also.
They just look sooo sweet.

AndyM

I walked into my local FFL holder to get a copy of his lic. to send out to purchase over the internet a Winchester 9422 in 80% condition for $350 - when I looked upon his shelf and he had a 95+% late 1970's model 9422 up there - I asked to see it and asked how much - he said the guy wants 200 for it...

AndyM

I just took the dive and ordered a new series mini-14. The AR platform just does not do anything for me. The Ruger is still wood and blued steel. If I could just afford a M-14, i'd be set.

AndyM

I like them in my 32-20 also. It is what I shoot most of the time. I also keep some hornady xtp's around also

AndyM

I can't add anything that Joe did not say already...
otherwise, welcome to the fire

AndyM

all look very nice, something to be proud of

AndyM

I really enjoy the 22 also. My last firearm purchase was a 22 (Winchester 69A Match rifle). Probably my next rifle purchased will also be a 22 (Savage Cub single shot for my 4.5 year old twins). In fact I just picked up another 1,100 rounds of 22 last week, Federal bulk at Wally World.

AndyM

I have the same rifle, except it is a 1903 - I am sure you'll love it. Those 92's and 32 wcf are great shooting combo's.

Heck of deal on it...

AndyM

Rx7 has always proven the most accurate powder in my 45-70 Marlin Guide gun.
I use it all the time with 350 gr. Horn. FP

AndyM

I agree, WOW really nice.
enjoy it

AndyM

congrats...
As a father of 3, i know your joy...

AndyM

I hope you continue to mend well... I flyfish, mostly freshwater trout in Pennsylvania. Our hunting cabin is on Penn's Creek, home to one of the most famous green drake mayfly hatches on the east coast. The actual green drake hatch has always been hit or miss for me, but there are always other insce...

AndyM

I would say a used Savage bolt in a traditional varmint cal would be best. 22-250, 223, 243 would be best

AndyM

for a lower cost option, look at the Old Town Guide series canoes. These are value priced and built very good. I have the 14 ft. model and it can do alot of things well, not really great at any of them but handles most things For 2 adults and gear, they make a 16 ft. model also, plus it is an Old To...

AndyM

I really cherish shooting my 22's. I have a custom 10/22 with the Boyds green lam. thumbhole stock (sorry no pics) with a green mountain heavy barrel that is alot more accurate than I am. A Ruger Mark II heavy barrel pistol that is just plain fun, a 9422, a Rem. 572 pump, and a Winchester model 69 w...

AndyM

CCI primers for me and for full power loads - I have become a fan of Lil'Gun

Has to be my Winchester 1894 rifle in 30wcf
here it is this deer season, the picture is not a close up but it will have to do for now

Me too - Although, that would be reason enough to shoot one of them

very cool.

my favorites - the 92 rifle and the 32-20 round...

I have hunted Pennsylvania all my life and never saw so many trophy class bucks... I think VS Country has it all wrong... going from Texas, then Montana, then Pennsylvania come on... Although another great time killer if you are looking for one.

AndyM

I use regular primers with 2400 and mag. primers with H110. Although, I do feel primers are created and burn differently. I have no way to test, but it seems to me Winchester brands are hotter than CCI and Remington and Winchester LR Primers are closer to CCI Mag. LR than regular CCI LR primers. For...

AndyM

I am another 5744 fan.
lead bullets and 5744 go together mighty fine... easily dupes blackpowder loads...

AndyM

great story and beautiful gun.
32-20 - love the round - I think it is great to see it being used in the hunting fields...
