Yep - I'm more likely to have a mixed-pair when roaming the woods: A .22 LR handgun (for plinking) and a .44 Mag rifle (for if I see a coyote or in-season deer), or A .44 Mag Handgun (for self defense) and a .22 LR rifle (for plinking) However, I still like the CONCEPT, because having that 'pair' of...

I like the idea for the light. Does it snap on an off? Other than that I would of just stuck a red dot or low power variable (1.5-4x) on it using a standard weaver base and called it good. The scout set-up and multiple sighting systems seems a bit over kill to me. I've tried more 'minimalist' syste...

Haven't 'been there' or 'done that' - but I've been with many patients and spouses as they went there and did that. It's horrible beyond words, for both of them - usually worse for the one without the illness than the one with it. The one positive thing that I see consistently is that although part ...

Too many bells and whistles...... :wink: Whatever happened to a good pump shotgun with a flashlight duct taped under the barrel? :lol: Hard to o.s.o.k. a feral cat at 75 yards at midnight with that setup - but not with the combo I'm putting on the Marlin... :twisted: I already have the same setup o...

As far as a suppressor, I think they make 'integral' ones that are swap-out barrels for the 10/22, and I think the back end of the barrel is similarly attached on the 77/22 and 96/22's (may need some work, but not sure) by the half-dovetail lug apparatus. Ironic that the U.S. 'allows' more gun owner...

christmas was a sad one in the txpete house this year.my mom went into hospice care on the 24th. It seems lots of times the older people start to move on around this time of year.

It may be one of the contenders for 'the best' accurate-but-potent cartridge, but let's face it - how many of 'us' can shoot well enough to appreciate the difference? I sure can't. So, give me a stock heavy-barrel .223 Rem, .308 Win, or 280 Rem, and I'll be happy, and won't miss my target any farthe...

Horrible spin-off of our scoff-law culture of violence, and our gangs and black-marketing of drugs. So sad when it is other innocent family members caught in the crossfire, or sometimes entirely uninvolved people targeted by mistake. An employee had that happen three times years ago in just a few we...

This post has been up over a month now, and, not knowing what a "Volcanic" rifle was, I must have kept skipping over it. It's probably one of the most awesome levergun posts I've ever seen. http://www.levergunscommunity.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=22477 I can only dream of being that talen...

I like one you didn't mention the best (yeah, I know the 'red dot' sight isn't pretty, but it enabled my 10 year old daughter to routinely hit 2" steel flip-up targets at 75 yards with it... 8) ). The 'flash hider' is simply because kids tend to 'dip' the muzzle in the dirt since they are short...

Not an answer, but how come you can get Brownell's but not MidwayUSA - is that some sort of web filter that thinks Brownell's is 'different' than MidwayUSA...?

In our family the rule is that you open the action and leave or lock it open before handing the gun to someone. One 'extra' rule to keep in mind is that the other people who have handled (or are about to handle) that gun may NOT follow all the other rules. Even though a death is just as irreversable...

They are certainly NOT for novices, and I hate to see the gun shops sell them to the inexperienced folks.

Maybe the buyer/owner was 'experienced', but unforunately not the kid who got hold of it.

Even when we get rowdy in the 'political' section, we're generally pretty decent folks. Most of the time, anyways...!

AJMD429

I suppose if I had no other option, I'd try a frontal head shot if I were using the right firearm (a lateral shot has too many places that cause slow-death wounds), but NOT with any kind of arrow...Yikes...!

Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32 is $65.00 to your door on Amazon. They are great scopes. +1, also like the Simmons', and older Weavers. I even have a $59 BSA 3-9x 'shorty' scope that is very compact and seems to hold up. It has the 'illuminated reticle' feature, but I never bothered to put the battery i...

I'm just glad I live in the time I do, at the age I am. Being born in 1945 I have lived in an easier time than my dad but still got to experience the good times.

What struck me after giving your picture some thought is that the AR is already a 40 year old design! :shock: Shuddup - you're making me feel OLD ...! :cry: I like seeing the 'evolution' of firearms over the past century or so.

Perhaps the person was trying to say the Rossi Puma's are being sold out then not replaced - that much is true. The new maker/importer situation will mean a slighty better finished gun, at a greatly higher price. BudsGunShop.com has a fair stock of Rossi's left, and you might also look on TheGunSour...

Glad to hear that, but as Ed stated I would of done the MRI anyway. The risk of an MRI could exceed the risk of a tumor, if the risk of a tumor is small enough (which the neurologist seems to think). Say the tumor risk is 1:10,000,000 based on the findings - the risk of death from merely driving to...

If you can find one (no longer made) a Taurus tang sight for their model 62 will fit right on the Rossi's (the usual d&t for the 'front' hole required if not already tapped). A clone of the Marble's I think. I've used several and found them well made and reliable. I got them for $29 each at Spor...

I won't say a word about ammunition, although you are pretty much correct about 16" being optimum. :oops: I said something anyway. To "ME" the biggest reasons to go to a 20" barrel is balance and cartridge capacity. They simply balance better for me than the 16" Trapper ver...

Speaking of 'carrying handles' - I realized I like the higher 'see-through' rings from Weaver that mount using the scope-mount-holes, not just due to the 'see-through' feature, but ALSO because I like a higher line of sight than many folks.

Sure glad I got a 357mag levergun I reload for. vs the 35 Remington. My 357mag loads with 158grn Zero bullets cost me a whopping $2.26 per box of 20rds. :mrgreen: Actually most of the difference is the RELOADING part; you could spend twice as much on powder and use the same or similar bullet in the...

I don't have a made-in-1894 one, but my current 1894 disassembles exactly like my 1889 Marlin, so I doubt too much has changed.
