I got one for a 4" S&W .44. Very well made and comfortable.

Anyone ever own a Black Aces firearm? I believe they're fairly new and produce ammo also. They make this LEVER action 7 shot 12 gauge shotgun in 4 models! Affordable, (about $400), and American made! I only heard of them through Atlantic Firearms when I bought a PTR MP5 through them. There is a YouT...

My antifa gun! A little unwieldy in a house but a lot of fun to shoot! Rock Island Armory VR80. Shoots 2 3/4 or 3" shells. Its built like an AR with oversize mag release and bolt release. You do need to use higher velocity shells. I found 1300fps or more work great. I have a Rem 870 pump. With ...

Anything is better than nothing. One thing I noticed from 30 years of LE. Most burglars work alone and are drug addicts...usually heroin. They're looking to grab anything they can sell for a fix. They almost always target empty homes when victims are at work or the very elderly. Most will flee when...

Ok...true story and no, won't confirm it. During the LA riots, police were teamed up with Nat. Guard. While responding to a call in Knickerson Gardens, PD went in and told Nat Guard to "Cover" them as they went in. Cover in police talk is watch over with a weapon in case needed. Cover in m...

Being a city dweller has it's few perks. But one of them is I set anything metal at my curb with a "free" sign on it, and it's never there more than a few hours at most. Sometimes somebody stops as I'm putting it out and want to help me unload it. Once in Ca, my brother placed a working w...

Had a guy come to our gun club with a no name,(not a Rossi,Six, but who knows), 50 cal rifle. It was the replacement to the one he had shot one round through and cracked a weld on the receiver. I made him go to the last bench and I was far away when he shot. He and his friend shot about 40 rounds th...

I tried but I have a smart TV. It won't play it, or the NBA..., the View...etc

Just kidding. I wish all our athletes the best. They train their azzes off to better themselves and have no choice where the olympics are held. Because it's held every four years, they're on the clock.

I bought a Marlin XLR in '07. I didn't like the 24" barrel for hunting in timber. I sent it east to a gun shop. I had them cut the barrel to 18", recrown it, install a Wild West lever and extend the mag tube. I had installed a ghost ring XS sight also. Absolutely love it. A year later, Mar...

I peep down the bore if possible and center an object about 50 yards away and move my reticle to the center of said object. This will usually get you on paper at 100. With factory irons I don't bother and just shoot and adjust as needed as they should be reasonably close. If adding a peep I cowitne...

Same here.

And I tend to avoid riots (but won’t criticize those who don’t).

But if a riot came to visit, I’d be open-carrying a rifle (because I don’t have a flame-thrower).

My buddy that owns a bar in Ca is introducing a drink special.
"A Rittenhouse". It's a chaser followed by four shots.

There are "bad words" in this so just FYI. It is hilarious though. Maybe it gets censored...like abbreviating "assistant" was automatically changed to "butt'd" 🙄 Notes from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: Recently I...

Thought I was the only one that daily carried a single action. I get comments from some of the glock guys that carry 3 extra mags of high capacity mags.

Only 5 shots but my favorite.

3.5" barrel .45.

Talk about censorship!!! I tried to abbreviate assistant DA and it was corrected to butt't!

jkbrea

I've been in dozens of trials over 30 years. I almost think this DA is intentionally bombing and hoping for a mistrial. I've never seen that level of incompetence from a DA's office. Even brand new butt't DA's are better than this clown. I find it hard to believe he can be that stupid. Rittenhouse s...

Sell it and buy 2-3 boxes of .45! Lots of people buy the John Wayne commemoratives for display and like to display the boxes of ammo with it. Heck...even the empty boxes are for sale.

I hunt elk and antelope. I use a Tikka T3 lite 30-06 with a Leupold VX3 and a Marlin 45-70 with a quick release Leupold scout scope . Never understood the need for magnums in heavy timber out here. I had a 7mm Rem Mag but didn't enjoy shooting it. Out of 20+ elk, almost all were 100 yards or less. ...

Being the only employee of gunclub in a free state, I get to shoot all kinds of stuff from .22 to belt fed machine guns. A couple days ago I got to shoot a Winchester 92 in 25-20. A young guy had it there. It was passed to him by his grandfather. It was made in 1931 I think. He asked if I wanted to ...

jkbrea

Looks like a great hunt, where did you hit em, can't tell? Shot the antelope through the left shoulder with 147 grain Eld x in 6.5 Creedmoor. Didn't exit and he didn't take a step. I flipped it over to take the pic. It shattered the shoulder. I hit the cow a little high on the left side offhand at ...

Connected with a speed goat on Monday morning out in Daniel, Wy. I used a Ruger PR in 6.5 Creedmoor. A friend loaded up some 147 gr. eld x for me. One shot at 425 yards. Didn't move a yard. I took a friend and just a couple min. before I shot, he shot a cow elk that was out there! He was setting up ...

I had no idea those Remington loads ran 1600. I thought they were like 1300ish. That's what I thought, too, so I jumped on the Remington site, and they have two different loadings of that 405 grain now.... I will say those 1600 fps Core-Lokts are very pleasant to shoot! When I shoot the L.E. , I ca...

Saw this on the internet...... Twitter users are now zeroing in on Baldwin's past social media activity and one glaring tweet he posted on Sept. 22, 2017 reads: "I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone..." The tweet also included a link to a Los Angeles Times article about a H...

So the deepest penetration was through 6" and about 3" into the 2nd block with the leverevolution but it could've been the wood. All exited the 1st 6x6 although the 1st Core-Lokt stopped against the 2nd block as did one of the LE rounds I didn't find. Overall, they all performed about the ...

jkbrea

I took Grizz's advice and decided to test the Leverevolution against Rem Core-Lokts. I don't drink much milk and whiskey bottles won't work so I used two old 6x6 post. I shot 3 rounds of each from 30 yards. (FYI..at 30 yards, LE hit 4" high and CL hit 1" high.) 1st LE round penetrated the ...

jkbrea

Thanks for the input. I felt stupid asking the question. I usually hunt with a 30-06 but feel better with a lever 45-70 due to more bears in the area. Other than some buffalo bore, I've only shot Leverevolution since I got the rifle. They do pack a punch but they're basically a hollowpoint with a ru...

I have about 6 rounds of Buffalo Bore left but not sure if it's a good hunting round.The rifle is a Marlin SBL. I want it loaded with a round for elk hunting and have enough penetration "just in case". I know chances of encounters are very low. Only had one grizzly encounter in 30 years. I...

I've been using Hornady Leverevolution 325 gr 45-70 for elk hunting. I've taken a few and it is very accurate. Lately there have been more grizz sightings in the area I hunt. I have a couple boxes of Remington Core-Lokt 405 gr JSP. Will they penetrate better up close, (out to 20 yards), better than ...

Beautiful area though in Teton County.
But come Monday I'm going with a Marlin 45-70, bear spray, a 4" 44 mag with Buffalo Bore ammo, and a slower partner!

I was hunting this area 3 days ago. Running into a grizzly is unnerving to say the least, but five!! The girl on horseback videoed it. And she was laughing! Now two more are reported making their way to the same area. This "399" bear is an old gal in her mid 20's that gave birth to 4 cubs ...

First gun that was "mine" was a Colt M16 A2 followed by a Colt 1911! First purchased gun was a S&W Mod 686 4". I bought it while stationed in W. Germany in 1984. Wish I never got rid of it. It had a cool German import stamp on the frame. It was my first duty gun as a cop. I traded...

I like packing a Freedom Arms. It's a .45 Colt and I have a .45 APC cylinder too.
When packing elk out I'll load it with Buffalo Bore hard cast bullets. It is very comfortable to shoot and accuracy is incredible. F.A. revolvrts are built like tanks!

Well, even if do live in a purple county, Wyoming laws are awesome when it comes to guns. Our gun club is great on what you can shoot. Dang near anything! Doesn't hurt that I'm the Rangemaster! We allow anything including 50 cal. Full auto is allowed. Belt feds or mags. I had a guy wanting to bring ...

#1 argument for a shotgun has nothing to do with capacity or maneuverability and it's a big one. There's just nothing like hearing the rack of a shotgun to get people to leave or give up. I believe this to be a falsehood. All you do by trying to scare an intruder by working the action on your pump ...

A shoot with members would be fun. I shot at that range for sniper school years back. Very nice! But not sure Ca is the right spot. Ammo laws are insane. You have to register to buy it! I don't think youre even allowed to import any without sending it to a dealer first. I was there last month trying...
