I believe Charter Arms has changed ownership several times over the years. I had a couple of the original 1970's guns and they were o.k. guns for the price. I owned a later stainless Bulldog that was pure junk. After buying my junk I found an article in Guntest where they also found the then current...

The supply has increased, but a lot of dealer are still trying to pretend it hasn't! I'm finding the distributors have them, but some of the dealers are still trying to get scalpers prices out of them.

JB

I agree the dealer was wrong. If he quoted $25.00 for a transfer, he should stick to it. At best he should have told that he misunderstood what you were doing and would have to charge more for similar transactions in the future. In my opinion, the bad PR he'll receive (even locally) doesn't warrant ...

I can't see any U.S. gun company not at least test firing their guns. Maybe not an actual proof in the sense of over pressure loads, but at least a test firing.

Our 200 yd plate is about 15" and I can hit it 80% of the time but remember, I'm shooting two handed, unsupported with open sights, and I'm 62 with older eyes and older nerves. I've had some of the younger fellas shoot it too and a couple of our good shooters can hit a 6" steel plate at 1...

JB

I could see a very lucky shot hitting an artery and the elephant to slowly bleeding out. I'd have also thought a close shot with a 22 solid into the eyeball might have penetrated enough to possibly hit the brain.

You've got to add the 250-3000 and 300 Savage. I first think of a Savage 99 when I hear either caliber mentioned.

JB

Unless the rifle is a dedicated target rifle for shooting at a fixed distance, I'd go variable all the way. I also wouldn't buy anything without an adjustable objective. although I own a couple scopes up in the 20 and 30X range, I've found I don't really need anything over 14 or 15X for any kind of ...

JB

I'll agree with the others that the Brownell bits are great. I had a set of Chapmans, but they were to brittle and kept breaking on me. A friend had a set of the B-Squares, but they didn't impress me with their quality.

JB

The best line to use is kind of like the best rifle for deer hunting. Everyone and every forum has their favorites. I used Stren and Trilene mono happily for years before I learned off the net that I was using "inferior" lines. I have most of my rods spooled with Power Pro braided line wit...

JB

I carry a stainless Single-Six when I run my traps. I've fired a number of them over the years. Most were only plinking accurate, but a friend of mine once owned one that would shoot with most good automatics. I just about cried when I found out he's sold it without checking with me first.

JB

Either rifle would do the job. From a collecting standpoint I agree with McNutjob, but from a hunting standpoint I'd go with the 444. The 444 would make a fine combination woods deer and bear rifle.

I could use some 32 rimfire. I have a Marlin, a Stevens, and several old handguns in need of some food!

Last year I shot a black bear with a .177 pellet gun. It was about the third time he'd came into the yard after my garbage cans. It would have been illegal to kill him out of season, so I shot him in the rump. When that pellet smacked him, he hit the woods wide open. Never did see him back. Still ma...

JB

That's a tough one. I believe she's probably better off learning to shoot left handed if that's her dominant eye. I hate to push a kid into shooting left handed, but the cross dominant thing can be a big problem. I help teach an air pistol class. I recently had a kid that just couldn't hit the side ...

We've had a pair nesting about 100 yds behind our house for three years now. A couple weeks ago we had a day of 30 to 40 knot winds. The eagles were out with their eaglet just hanging on the wind. I sat and watched the whole time and never thought to go grab the camera. It sure is cool to see them ...

JB

We had trouble getting most jhp's to expand at 44 special velocities. It wasn't the most scientific test, but we fired a number of loadings into water filled jugs. The vast majority wouldn't expand until we got into 44 magnum levels.

JB

I have Nazi marked FN's and Inglis in my collection, but pick a newer one for regular shooting. I have an FEG copy as well that's a pretty decent gun for the money.

JB

I've owned several of the Norincos. They were all very accurate, but somewhat cheaply made. Be very careful taking the down and putting them back together. I've seen several with cracked stocks. The wood on these is pretty soft and subject to cracking if you have the two halves set up to tight tryin...

I recently bought a fairly large amount of reloading supplies from an estate. I offered 18,000 primers that I didn't need to a guy I know for $1.50 per hundred. He kept trying to wiggle the price down even lower. After about 30 minutes of him annoying the heck out of me trying to get them cheaper, I...

2.5" from a lever action 30-30 is fine with me. I want my centerfire boltw tot shoot 1 1/2" or better with select loads. So many people on the net claim to have bolt rifles that average 1/4", 1/2" , etc., but there very few rifles outside of expensive benchrest rifles that will a...

JB

Add me to the 308 crowd. As others have pointed out, I like the ability to use a shorter action and the "slight" accuracy advantage is just another bonus.

JB

I was hoping for some bikini shots at the range

There's been a few good ones over the years but about two years ago I went to a very large auction which only had one gun. The auctioneer was way behind and moving thorough items as quickly as possible. When they got to a Winchester 92 in 32-20 which he informed the crowd had a reserve,he started ou...

JB

I thought it was funny how he knew exactly where to slide the rear aperture on a rifle he'd never fired before. Especially on a helicopter flying towards him! Of course the sheriff did warn him "it pulls a might to the left".

JB

It doesn't make any sense that he'd try to sell it for anything other than parts. Unless the price was a joke.

You never know. There's plenty of hair and cleavage shots, but no actual view of the face.

I've read that Marlin farms out all their 17 HMR barrels, so I don't think it would affect the value.

JB

I wonder how the scope finish would hold up after shooting it a few times.

JB

Very nice.

JB

I just bought a mint used 917V with no scope in a local shop for $150.00 out the door. He had it tagged for $175.00 The BSA's don't seem to hold much resale value. I'm guessing around $200 would be a good price.

JB

I agree with Buffboy. Find the heaviest "deer bullet" your rifle will shoot accurately.

JB

The internet auction will give you a much wider audience. Another problem with gunshows is dealing with all the horse traders. More people will be looking to trade you junk than pay cash.

JB

I have to admit it bothers me quite a bit to see Colt SAAs in a movie involving the Civil War and immediately after. (Or 92 Winchesters for that matter). I watched a civil war movie the other day with George Hamilton and Max Bare Jr. where the confederates were carrying 92's and Colt SAAs. It makes...

Actually as much as I dislike Tom Cruise I'll have to go see the movie. I'm too much of a history buff not to.

Mandatory post counts only encourage a flood of "Nice rifle", "me too", etc., etc. in order to reach the required minimum number of posts. Quantity doesn't always mean quality.

I own Marlin 39's, 9422's, and one BL-22. The BL-22 is my favorite. To me it's the prettiest of them (outside of my case colored 9422's) and I love the short throw lever. I'm sure you'll be happy with one. I do own a Henry, but it's just not the same quality level as the others.

I hate the fact it stars the very antigun Ed Harris, but I'll probably have to see it anyway. I just don't understand how Harris can take money from movies that feature terrible guns

He has other 44-40's for shooting. He just wanted this one for his collection. He ended up getting it today for $600.00 out the door. It's new in the box and unfired and will stay that way!

I've asked several local Obama supporters what they like about him other than his charm, I've yet to get a response other than a blank look or anti Bush comments. We need to educate as many people as we can.
