My thought, since I only hunt with lever action guns, there should be a lever action in every caliber.
Glad Henry is doing that. This fall will be the first time I hunt moose and bear with my Browning 300 Win Mag lever action.
Can't wait, anxious to see Henry's new gun.

Great way to start the new year for sure. What guns do you use for pig hunting ?

Merry Christmas Everyone, so glad Jesus came, so glad He is coming back, much to celebrate, we still live in the greatest country in the world, and many Americans still believe what our money says, In God We Trust. Glad our president believes we must have a strong military to protect our nation, and...

Have any of you used the old Lyman Nutcracker to reload with. Saw it in the Rifle Magazine
reprint of the first issue. It looks very interesting to me. I bet some of you have one.
What say you.

daisygordoninc

Love to hear that story, so many younger hunters seem to think you need some kind of
magnum to kill large game with. 30-30s have killed more game than any other gun,
however the 44-40 might be in the running as well. Well done.

daisygordoninc

Don't forget it's addictive.

I probably said this earlier, but while I was hunting moose in BC late September we had a heavy snow, over a foot the last few days of our hunt. We actually had to leave camp a day early just to be sure we could get out. That was really early even for Central BC. We drove almost 200 miles in it head...

Love that Savage, that is a really nice find.
Thanks for sharing

Gary, I was born in 45, so I really relate to that picture, saw lots of pictures of my dad, my grandpa, and dad's brothers much like that. I wished I still had them. Grew up shooting deer with my 94 32 SP, my great aunt gun, she used to shoot mule deer in Eastern Oregon near Silver Lake. It became m...

Have any of you found a scope with a built in rangefinder that you are happy with. I know they are pretty spendy, but there have been times I would have liked to have had one. This past hunt for moose up in Caribou District I saw a really large bull with very large antlers but thought it was just ou...

The e-mail didn't work on Paypal, so I put a check in the mail to you.
Thank you for keeping us up and running.

Would like to kick in something, via PayPal, but still don't know who that should be addressed to via- PayPal.
This is my first time donating, glad to do it.

Love seeing those old Winchesters, they are worth so much more than financial value.
Great pics, thanks for letting us see it.

daisygordoninc

Thank you Ray for serving and thanks for the pictures. God Bless You

I have not seen one of those before, that is pretty cool

You may know that sheep farmers and cattle farmers in Eastern Oregon are already having loses to their herds by wolves. Of course the game commission wants to protect them and it is difficult to protect herds from them. I have a close friend who recently encountered 4 wolves who were stocking him du...

The two bullets I recovered from the shoulder area where not broken up much, one weighs 150 gr. and the other 125 gr. So some of each bullet did break off but the main body of the bullet didn't break apart. That's about what I would expect from them. Of course the other two exited on the opposite si...

daisygordoninc

Yes, I did use the FTX 200 Gr. Hornady bullet, tried to match the ballistics of the one Hornady makes, I think pretty close. I killed my first moose at 270 yards one bullet through the heart and lungs. The bullet exited. The second one was only 100 yards, lungs and heart again one shot. This one was...

Got another moose from BC last week. Pretty big, heavy antlers but not very pretty. Will have them on my wall anyway, 3 in three years. I feel pretty blessed. The 3 guys I took with me also got theirs, 4 for 4 . The big one really did get away, too long to shoot, didn't want to wound him, he was a m...

My second range finder is a VTX Ranger, my first one did not work well enough to rely on. I have not used this one on game yet, I'm hoping it is better but the times I have been in front of game to shoot I did not have time to use it. I'm hoping to have built into my scope someday, but you know how ...

I just wrote a post about my old shooting range. They just opened again after the former owner died, now they are "no lead" only. No use to me what so ever, they tried to defend it saying they had no choice. I had three guns with me, 22 mag, 357 mag, and 44 mag, they had no ammo for those ...

Love 32 SP, grew up hunting with one given to me, my dad also hunted with one. I have one of the first made around 1902 or 3, it is a beauty, I should post pictures. Yours is very nice, thanks for the pics. Shot a small buck this past fall with one made in 1946, I was born in 1945 so I hunt with tha...

I would leave Oregon without hesitation even though I grew up in Rural Oregon and assumed everyone in Oregon was conservative, loved the constitution and loved America. Boy did I get my eyes open in the years to come. Our Governor is bi-sexual, our abortion laws are the most liberal in America, and ...

Do people put this on something else or add beans ?
I've always wondered about that.

daisygordoninc

I remember a few years ago the "save the earth" crew was trying to shut down our Izaak Walton shooting range south of Eugene because they thought the ground was being poisoned and the water might be poisoned as well. I don't know how that was dealt with but we won that fight and still have...

daisygordoninc

Remember this is Eugene Oregon I'm talking about, they quoted some new regulation that
made it unattractive to do lead. Political correctness often wins here, many companies
make granola here.

daisygordoninc

I had been a member of Baron's Den shooting range near Eugene Oregon for years. The owner died and now it is reopened under new ownership. I was signing up for a year's membership when I was told No Lead Bullets. They sell no lead bullets of course at a high price, however they didn't have the 3 cal...

We lost our 3rd Yellow lab recently to old age and cancer. He was such a good friend, lived to be with us, never growled, kept my wife aware if someone was around the place. He was Alf III, we were not going to get an Alf IV, but after a few weeks we gave in bought a puppy, yellow lab of course and ...

I saw a youtube video on a moose hunt in the Yukon with a Buffalo Bore 190 gr. 30-30.
The shot was about 150 yards, one shot dead moose. I was impressed have wanted to
try one myself except my first moose shot was 270 yards, too far for the 30-30.

Just put a Apex J frame replacement springs and firing pin. They work really well, and much lighter pull for the double action which I had been concerned about for my wife. It fires just fine, glad someone suggested it. Anyone who is struggling with the J frame trigger pull might want to give it a t...

daisygordoninc

Wow, that is a beautiful gun, anxious to see the wood also. I have a list of guns that I should never have sold, so I am being more careful these days about selling one that has personal value or story with it. I don't have family that wants my nice guns after I'm gone but I just love having them ar...

daisygordoninc

Nice looking gun, I was not aware of that company, glad to see another American company
making quality guns from the past. I've got a few guns from Italy but sure prefer American
made any day of the week. Congratulations

daisygordoninc

Dave, Welcome, glad for your special treasure. I sold my 94 that was given to me by my great aunt who was a hunter/trapper in the Yukon. I wished for an opportunity to get it back but it didn't come. Your situation is special, glad you got it back. They all are special yours a little more so. Gordon

daisygordoninc

Thanks 30-30,

I ordered the kit, anxious to see how much it reduces the pull, 3 pounds would be great.

Gordon

daisygordoninc

Thanks, sounds like I have some work to do. It's a nice little gun probably worth the
work needing to be done.

daisygordoninc

What is so surprising is that I had one years ago when they first came out and it did
not have this heavy pull. It never miss fired, I never gave it a thought. I think I will
call Smith and Wesson however, they surely must know about it by now .

daisygordoninc

Has anyone had a problem with the trigger pull on a new S&W 351 PD 22 Mag. ? I got it for my wife for carry, because it has much less recoil but still pretty good penetration with Hornady's new Critical Defense ammo. I asked this question on S&W forum, and a couple guys thought there is noth...

daisygordoninc

Does your 1886 say "For Black Powder Only" ?

daisygordoninc

Yes it is a Miroku gun, I have a couple other Miroku guns and they are very strong.
I just can't believe that was on the barrel and I didn't see it, would not have purchased
it. It's really puzzling to me.

daisygordoninc

I was thinking about selling it, but would anyone want one for Black Powder Only?
The only black powder ammo I have made is for my 44-40 pistol and 1873 rifle.
I didn't notice any others listed on Gun Broker that designated them as Black Powder
Only.

daisygordoninc

I have a Winchester 1886 45-90, bought it new at Cabela's, actually a gift from my wife a few years ago. It's made in Japan of course but generally well built and very nice. I fired it a few times just to get the feel of it, some medium to heavy loads I made, I forgot what weight, but heavy bullets....

daisygordoninc

Yea that can't pack handgun thing in Canada is really crazy. My hunting guide is a timber cruiser when he isn't hunting. He isn't allowed to pack and a couple of summers ago he was attacked by a black bear. On the 3rd charge his dogs got into the middle of it and he was saved. All he had was an axe....

daisygordoninc

It's why I love this forum, old guys with guns have a great sense of humor.

daisygordoninc

Very nice, are you taking off for Alaska soon ? That's probably where I would be headed.

daisygordoninc

I bought it on Gun Broker for 599.00, it seems almost new, but of course as I said I have not
shot it yet. I took a scope from another gun. I don't even know anyone who has one so I'm
hoping someone will have some first hand info. on it.

daisygordoninc

This will be my backup gun this fall for moose and bear. Happy to have a 300 Win Mag in lever action.
Anyone had any experience with one of these. Have not been to the shooting range yet, will go soon.

IMG_0137.JPG

daisygordoninc

Thanks guys, that helps a lot. It seems bullet weight is probably the biggest issue if we
are looking for something over 200 grs. .

daisygordoninc

I've heard guys say they wouldn't want to shoot a grizzly with a 300 Win Mag, but would have
confidence with a 338 Win Mag, the bullet weight might be the same, or are they assuming
a heavier bullet with the 338 ?

daisygordoninc

So if a 300 Win Mag were fully loaded wouldn't it go as fast as a 338 or faster ?

daisygordoninc

I assume most of us have some guns that are not lever guns, so someone may have some knowledge about this. Why is the 338 Win Mag so much more powerful than the 300 Win Mag which has a larger case volume than the 338 Win Mag. My new Winchester XPR uses the same magazine for both cartridges, I actual...
