Low 4,000's serial numbered model 71 deluxe my dad bought originally, and gave to me in 1962. He carried it all over the Donner Summit area of Northern California in the middle to later 40's, and killed many mule deer with it. Most beautiful wood I ever saw on a 71, priceless to me.

My first "high powered rifle" was my father's Win. M94 mfg. in 1976. Still have the rifle and my dad. :D My first powerful rifle was my dad's mint condition model 71 deluxe, 4000's serial number. Still have it and cherish it, but dad is gone now. It's killed many mule deer, and one Roosev...

Paco,Is there any guarantees, that after reviewing your info, that most of us will own such a double rifle? I hope you can at least "imply" that there is a good chance!!

bring it on, should be interesting. Thanks for your work.

The killer must not have been too sure of his shots, kept it up 30 pulls. Hate to go elk hunting with that guy.

I've got all 4 Browning model 71's, but with no doubt in my mind at all, my favorite is the Standard Grade carbine. Not as fancy as the high grades, and not as big as the Standard Rifle, but something about that carbine just sets me off.

CORROSION X Spray all your guns down with Corrosion X Noah had a post on here awhile back, about all the good virtues of Corrosion X, now I see Modoc Ed uses it. It's about 90 bucks for a gallon jug of it, but after going to their web-site and doing some looking at it, I think it may well be the an...

Guess I'll be busy drilling post holes with the tractor, setting posts and building pasture fence this summer. Not going to worry too hard about ammo, sold all that gun stuff when the Dems started closing in, bought supplies to build up the farm. May buy some Viagra with the ammo money. Someday when...

I haul 10 drums of lube oil routinely in my business, about 4500 pounds net, I bought it new in 94, an F-350, single rear wheels and a 7.3 diesel. It has 247,000 on it now, and has needed a water-pump, recently the clutch and a few other little things, but the engine has not been touched. It works e...

I guess I started out life with a lever action, a model 71. I own a 300 mag in a Browning A-Bolt Medallion, have hunted with it and killed deer, it's wonderful. But it is a tool, whereas the lever guns I own are part of the family.

I can just imagine, that if she was your woman, and she had to get up at 4:00 AM to fix your breakfast, it would be with cheerfullness, and enthusiasm. If some bad news came your way, a sad situation, she would have compassion and encouragement in the extreme. And if an occasion came to go to dinner...

You could have been more resourceful, claimed to be serious handi-capped, this was a matter of life and death, and you needed stimulus money for concrete bridge with gold plated hand-rails and night lights on it. You might have also asked for more deer to be transplanted onto your property with food...

Well we know we can't count on any of the 3 above posters when the revolution start, because it would be against the rules. :roll: There is a fundamental difference between following the rules you agreed to (as an employee/homeowner) and as a citizen upon whom an unjust "rule" has been im...

Rangerider, the only thing I see about you that ain't right------is the fact that your not my neighbor just down the road :) . Thanks for all that pic taking and sharing of your treasures, these things are where your heart is, so we know it's close to you. If you ever know where that big hat at the ...

If memory serves me, my tech guy "set" the cpap machine when I went in to get it, and informed me that if it needed "resetting" it would have to be brought in. It has remained set the same for about 3 or 4 years I've had it, not sure if you could do it yourself or not. You must h...

Goes to show that something can be real funny and enjoyable, with nary an "F" word, or other some such trash mixed in. Thanks.

Did you say that you sold 1200 guns? Looks 1200 guns in inventory!! Awesome. I might have to make a trip up there real soon.

I bought a 5 year membership for my wife----85 dollars, pretty reasonable. I was working nights, and every night someone called her and begged for money. When the 5 years ran out, she warned me ---"Never Again" don't sign me up any more.

AJ's post almost got me over the Delerium Tremons, but I feel the shakes starting to resume their destruction of my willpower. I'll let you know when I get over these symptoms.

Any one ever own the Marlin Outfitter?, same as a Guide Gun only in 444. The disease is working on me today, hoped to get some feedback, it's ok to tell me it's a lousy gun, falls apart, bad accuracy, don't buy it. You might help me save myself if you can be negative enough.

brucew44guns

Sounds like you got a college degree lecture for that talk you wanted, you been back to Gander Mtn. yet? :lol: Those Benoits do use that particular rifle mostly, and how could you go wrong with a rig like that? I've had a hankering for the semi-auto version of that style gun myself, but may get the ...

I have always preferred guns that are excellent in appearance, no beaters allowed generally speaking for me. Your H&R is just beautiful, especially compared to my original Springfield. While mine shoots and operates real nice, is not abused and is accurate, it has little in comparison to this ni...

There is nothing I ever did that helped me more than do the study, and get a c-Pap about 5 years ago. From the first night, I had no problems adjusting to the head gear. I know this----that if I were to go on a long trip, and accidenatlly forgot my machine, I'd most likely cancel the trip and return...

Wonder what he'd do with a "BIG" coyote problem. He needs accident insurance hanging those things so high.

I bought quite a few boxes for 18.95 back in the middle 80's, then found 6 boxes 2 years ago for 20 and change. Must have 30 boxes now, should kill at least one deer before I'm out. 58 a box, UGH!!

I think most guys with a few guns have to admit they did something they regret. Either they sold the "perfect gun" in order to buy another one. Or, they didn't buy the "perfect gun" when they had a chance to get it cheap, or some other horror story of equal pain in their heart. M...

I think of asking someone how many guns they have------as asking a most personal and private question. Some things are no one elses business. Makes a man wonder why that number would be important for someone to know?

I just about fell out of the chair. If your dog had a little bigger black patch over that eye, it would virtually be a twin to a pooch I had for years in Oregon. Very much the same dog in looks, nice one you have there for sure. Glad the good looks has saved it

I posted about 6 weeks ago that my dad was dieing of cancer in California. He did finally expire this morning sometime after 3 AM Calif time. Many of you commented on that other post, telling me how valuable that last visit with him would be later on in my life, and you were totally right, I can see...

It's probably best to not discuss inventory, never know who's listening. But anyone who loves shooting and owning firearms, that only spent a ton on iron-----but not lead, for the past 5 to 10 years, is hurting now. Remember when Win or Rem in 357 were 12.95 a box? Wish you had forgone a rifle or 2 ...

Do we actually live in a time right now, that if one single payment was missed on a mortgage, and the person went in and talked to the bank mgr face-to-face, and subsequent payments for 15 months have been on time, they still foreclose? Why didn't your neighbor sell his car, sell his guns, sell some...

Just think Griff, if you had to give up women, or heaven forbid lever guns, you would be asking for a straight jacket. But tough guys are tough, so use your skills and whip that stuff in the butt. It's expensive, it's unhealthy, it's un-necessarry. I havn't had a drink in 16 years, and I quit smokin...

There are a good number of bible verses that tell us that dead men know not anything. An example might be Ecc.9:5, simply says that living men "know that they shall die, (their brain is working and thinking and knows this every time they look in the mirror :lol: :lol: ), but the dead know not a...

Many levergunners could be under the impression that acquiring lever guns is a hobby very unique and hardly anything else like it.That is not true, as far as the accumulating goes. I visit a web-site that is just as serious as we are about accumulating levers, only for them it's chain saws. They suf...

I'm glad that your mom can get out and do things she enjoys. Not many her age on 3 wheelers. Glad she will be ok now, she must be quite a woman.

It took me a long time to get all 4 rifles, but I own the 4 Br. model 71's, in all 4 configurations. I've never fired them, I suppose because I hunt with an original, #4079, an early long tang deluxe in mint shape. But those 4 Brownings beg to be used, I just need 2 or 3 or 4 good sons to make this ...

Like a guy once said: "For twenty years I only had one lever gun, now---in one year, I have 20 lever guns". There's no pill for this, just live with the disease my friend.

I bought wheelbarrow loads of those bulk packs at Wallys at 8.87 back only a little over a year ago. That was time to make your haul. We had a Sport store chain in Ks. called Rustys, that went out of business about 4 or 5 years ago, they had Federals in the 50 count red box/500 brick. $6.00 bucks fo...

It was wonderful back when I was 18, (1962) you walked into a gun store and a box of SilverTip .348's were about 6.95. I think they were 58.00 at Midway last time I seen some available, so if the rubber tipped babies can keep some dirt poor young guy with ammo to shoot, I'm all for it. I've got 5 mo...

Looks like the ammo makers need to put on a second or third shift, and work weekends for awhile. Need to get caught up. The prices now surely could pay some overtime. Oh well Bruce, maybe all that is allready happening. May be that it's hard to find good help!!

Old Paul seemed like a pretty good guy, his style and personality made him a fortune too. Several years ago his salary was about 10 million a year. Nice to live in a country where that sort of thing is possible.

Jay, you're a young guy. You gotta get out of this fast man!! I hope the best for you, and just knowing you're tough I expect to hear better of all this soon. Best regards friend. Bruce

If they're family their precious, do the best you can.
