My late uncle retired from the Akron, Ohio Police force. He spent 40+ years on the force and was what I would call a pretty worldly guy. I asked him one time what the was the worst wound he saw in his career. He said far and away, the worst wounds were inflicted by a 12 gauge shotgun and OO or 000 B...

If you buy the Browning, you have very few choices and get a 45/70. I bought a Turnbull, it is my 3rd one. You order the gun like you would from Winchester back in the good old days. Mine is an 1886 with case finish, shotgun butt, 32 inch octagon barrel and chambered in 50/110 Winchester. You do not...

I would use my 3 inch smith and wesson 44 magnum, because that is my primary carry gun.

For awhile I was putting it on anything that could use the flavor..to me, it's a mustard flavor. I used it with black pepper per instructions. Maybe it did help, but I didn't notice it. The two things that do give me great relief is the white-colored extra strength Tiger Balm and rub it in with a l...

I agree, if they really wanted to make a statement they’d get rid of the locks. You can remove the lock as stated above, but it still isn’t the same. Particularly with the K-frames, they just look “off”. The frame almost has a hump back thing going on and that just bothers me. I don’t complain abou...

Let's go a step more and take the stupid locks off the revolvers! I own a bunch but only 4 with the stupid lock.

This is an interesting question. I find myself grabbing a Turnbull 1895 Cowboy rebarrelled to .50 Alaskan. Because of the silly rules in Ohio, my 30-30, 35 remington and 1895 winchesters in 30-40 and 30-06 are not legal. When I had the 50 made up 15 or so years ago, my 45/70's went to the safe. I us...

I have always wanted a 71, right now I have to make due with 1886's a takedown 45/70 or a 50-110.

buckeyeshooter

I have several, 1886 45/70, 1892 44-40 and 1895 30-06. The benefit for me is the ability to use a short case to transport them, less chance of damage by airlines and being a smaller size, less attention because of the short case.

My family raised Registered Arabian horses, chickens and polled Hereford cattle. In the mid 1960's my father sold Arabian yearlings for up to $10,000. When we had problems with feral dogs or coyotes on the farm harassing livestock, I was the one doing the farm work before and after school so it was ...

I would go 38-55 over 35-30. No case forming and jacketed.358 bullets for my 35 remington are a pain in the butt to find right now, good thing I cast.

In the late 80's, I lived in Alabama and hunted with a coworkers brother in law about every weekend I could get away. He liked to hunt deer with a pack of hounds through a swamp on the plantation. I was always told to bring a shotgun and a rifle as maybe I would be in a blind or posted in a peanut ...

Thank you for the information and all your work. You have given several new powders to try in 44-40 in a rifle. I have been using Unique exclusively in 44-40. I have a Uberti 66 for cowboy shooting with a 19 inch barrel, I use 7 grains unique and get 1040fps. My other 44-40s are Ruger Vaqueros (44 m...

If I were buying a 94 today, I would buy a new Japanese made Winchester or take a look at the new Uberti 94. I would prefer a new one instead of a 'frakenchester'.

What kind of, material and build quality would a Rossi 20 gauge double from the 70's have? Is it a good daily shooter or just for casual use. Todd/3leg Having seen a handful used HARD!! in cowboy action shooting, I would say you could use it as an everyday shooter. I would like a hammered one as th...

I will say this, I have killed exactly one grizzly bear, a Toklat from the Alaska Range on a population control hunt. A boar, he weighed an estimated 450#, and squared at 6'6". My good friend and I were hunting the Castner Creek drainage when we spotted him rolling boulders looking for a groun...

1. Shot Placement 2. Bullet Construction 3. Cartridge Power The .30-30 only limits the third one, and even there is at least 'moderate' by today's Africa-capable standards; better than the spears, bows, and muzzleloaders used up until the past 120 years or so. Really if you think about it 125 years...

Mine is a sawed off double barrel 10 gauge (20 inch bbls). I load it with #4 Buckshot. Each shell holds 54 pellets ( equivalent payload to 2 12 gauge shells). I use it for cowboy action shooting also, so I am practiced at reloading it quickly and I am well practiced in "giving them both barrels...

I have often thought that the .358 should be more popular than it is. Especially since it will fit in short actions. A Savage 99 in the Brush Gun configuration would be something that you could use on anything in North America. The big problem with the 358 is traditionally few guns have been chambe...

Congratulations on the shooter. I have wanted one for 20 years but have never been at the right place at the right time.

I have a one piece stainless firing pin, happy trigger and lighter springs in my 1894 for CAS. It cycles smoother, has a light trigger pull and will fire any type of primer. I only use it for CAS these days, I use another for field use. I made these modifications 13 years ago and have had no issues.

Not an engineer, but the Henry is noticeably heavier than the Marlin. So my assumption would be more metal in the Henry. I can't say if it is in spots to make it stronger. Logic says it might be a bit stronger. For pistol rounds, I would guess a 92 to be the strongest.

The 30-30 is the classic deer round. A deer is as large or larger as a man in body weight and bone structure. There is no reason to expect it would not work the same way. As far as a .223, in many states it is not legal for deer hunting. It is a varmit round. I know it is said to be the best thing s...

He will get that. There were very few made and this is an early one with no cross bolt safety.

buckeyeshooter

For deer hunting, current favorites are a Remington 700 SENDARO 308 or a Marlin XLR in 308 Marlin Express. For bear, elk or moose, a Ruger tang safety 338Win Mag or a Turnbull Marlin Cowboy in 50 Alaskan. I sometimes sneak in a Winchester 1895 Carbine in 30-06.

I have just 1 Winchester 92. It's a Turnbull deluxe takedown in 44-40. I chose 44-40 over 44 Magnum for the following reasons; I shoot Cowboy Action and I use 44-40 for black powder classes. (I use 44 magnum for smokeless and have a marlin 44 mag for that). Second, 44-40 is an original chambering an...

Personally, 71's are so hard to find and such a classic, I would not be inclined to modify one. If I was going to move from .348, the improved version does little in the way of improvement. If you want to change it, you could go 450 Alaskan or 50 Alaskan. 348 case expanded to 458 or 510. These are a...

I had a 32 inch barrel put on my 86 in 50-110, the magazine capacity is 10+1. I have had no problem with it shaking apart, however, I only fully load it for Cowboy Action Side matches (rifle cartridges legal) where 10 shots are needed. The big challenge with the extra long barrel is it is heavy, but...

Yep I'll only be running the loads I posted. That said I wouldnt have a problem running occasional factory 44mag in it. Uberti would have died under lawsuits by now if the guns were blowing up.

PS -- The Uberti 1873 is a very nice rifle action. But good luck finding a 44MAG or 44Spec chambering. Already have, a friend has been offering to sell me his for a while.

I would avoid the Wheeler Engineering set. I've found that you can't get replacement bits which are coded with some internal bit number.
