Why would you pay $1500 for that when for the same money you could buy a .460 or .500? They both do anything a .350 does and do it better.

I just bought a Turnbull Manufactured 1886 in 50-110. Probably less expensive than buying a gun and having it converted. Plus, I got to spec it out... 32 inch barrel, shotgun butt and case finish.

I wonder if the "new" Pythons will drive the price of old Pythons into the realm of affordability. It seems like the price of the new ones are quite high for a revolver ... but still not near where the old ones were hovering a few years back. I need to go take a look on the auction sites....

I have a friend that owns one, he has no problems with it and he shoots it often.

I also found a raggedy box of Remington 158 grain JHP that I gave to my dad when I gave him my S&W Nickel plated 586 with a 6 inch barrel about 45 to 50 years ago. Shortly Before he died he gave it back to me. Curious if anyone knows the velocity of that ammunition somewhere around 1975 Accordin...

It depends on which guns I am shooting. For guns I am hunting with and shooting smokeless, generally, as needed. For the guns I cowboy shoot with and use black powder. I clean them within hours after use.

I didn't realize the 50 Alaskan was a .510 bullet. Or that they were using BMG bullets cut down. Ill have to do a little research on it out of curiosity. That's one reason I like the 500 Smith & Wesson (0.500") as a levergun cartridge, in addition to the slightly shorter case maybe making ...

He fumbled some stuff but otherwise, interesting. We were just referring to the .450 Marlin in the '94 in another thread. It's impressive to run that in a rifle like the 1894 with the middling sized receiver. My 71 in .450 Alaskan outruns his Turnbull 50 a bit but my barrel is 20" and is full ...

buckeyeshooter

I'm thinking that's got to be the most powerful round chambered in the 94 action. Did the .450 Marlin ever make it onto the 94 platform? Yes, I had a packer (18 1/2 bbl) 444 with porting and a 450 the same set up. There were very few of both made (less than 2000). When I got offered crazy money for...

I still have a 2.5 inch 19. At one point I had a 2.5. 4 and 6 inch. I am getting old and starting to downsize these days.

I am still shooting a Model 18 with 3 T's. I shoot it so well that I sold my Model 41.

Well, I can do the "well-equipped" Texas Ranger tomorrow at the cowboy action match! Think I should lobby for 15 pistol shots per stage... https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/d197/sass93/DSCN1502_1_.JPG You could pull another pistola out of the safe and shoot in the Josey Wales category.

I am very organized and keep everything neat and tidy. I bench for my Lyman Spar-t (47 years old) and my Hornady lock and load and a different bench for a MEC 10 gauge, MEC 12 gauge, Lee 16 gauge and my Lee bullet casting furnace.

Recent DNA tests, 2 of them, said I have 0% Irish. 85% Great Britain/Scotland/Wales in 1 test, 87% in the other. 3 to 7% Italian, and same percent Jewish. Rest is from around Yugoslavia/Romania.

I have always wanted a 71. Right now, just making due with a pair of 1886's.

buckeyeshooter

I have 3, all Winchesters made in Japan, a 30-06 carbine, a 30-06 takedown rifle and a 30-40 carbine. I shoot full power 30-06 loads that I also use in my bolt action rifles with no ill effects. I shoot standard book loads in the 30-40, again with no problem.

Yep, just turning that 17 into and aftermarket 18. A real ammo burner. Never shot an 18 but have fired a MAC 11 in 9mm. Talk about an ammo burner!!

I have a 3.5 and a 6.5 inch Smith and Wesson 27. This solves any need for a Python. Now, if it was a 4 3/4 inch Colt single action in 44-40 or 38-40, I am in.

Nice article. I'm using 400 grain A-frames in my 450 Alaskan over a big pan of 3031. Unless I'm plinking, then I'm using the 350 grain HotCore over even more 3031. I like 535 grain Woodleighs over reloader 7 in my 50 Alaskan. The Woodleighs are designed for the 500 Nitro Express, right in the veloc...

Also, get your trigger finger farther in, and concentrate on a straight-back pull.

this is my guess also.

You can have the 1876. I have a couple 1886's that I think work better on the big stuff.

The X frames might have the same grip as the Model 29, but weighing in at 4.5 lbs. sure didn't feel anything like my Model 29's do. Regardless of felt recoil, that's a huge increase in weight to hold up when aiming at a target very long. Not something I care to own, or shoot. I also don't care for ...

That 30-40 is wonderful, buy that rifle PLEASE!

buckeyeshooter

As a S&W fan I had to chuckle at the first time I saw and handled one of the X frames. It's just way too big and heavy to be something fun to shoot. I bought a 6.5 inch 500 and I was actually very pleased that it felt very much like the 6.5 inch 29 that I had been carting around every time I le...

I have a Turnbull 92 deluxe takedown case finish in 44wcf with a 24 inch octagon. It is my favorite because it shoots great and is beautiful. I generally use a Uberti yellowboy 66 saddle ring carbine with 19 inch barrel for Cowboy Shooting. It levers faster and smoother and still holds 10 in the tub...

I have or have owned all those cartridges but the 7mm waters. All I can say is his list does not look anything like mine.

My approach would be to sell both and buy a Smith and Wesson 19 with 2.5 inch barrel with a set of pachmyer grips.

44 wcf.

I go the other way. I have 44 magnum vaqueros that have had new cylinders machined in 44-40 with .429 throats and I load them with a 200 grain cast over 35 grains of Goex FF for 840 fps out of 4 5/8 barrels. If I had a black powder colt, I would probably use the same load.

Probably too many to count. But my favorite is fried in bacon grease. Done right after the bacons done frying.

That guy gave the cat a long time to make its his mind. As soon as I start backing off and it kept coming at me. I would have shot it. I don't own a glock anymore and my carry field gun is either a SW 44 magnum or a SW 500 magnum. That would be one hurting or dead kitty,,,,, SSS.

Winchester ammo rebate? Pretty much a joke as they do not have any ammo in stock that I need and have not had for a year.

You simply have to decide how much "bling" is worth to you. The Browning will hold its resale value better, and you could buy 2 or 3 or more Brownings for the same budget as the Turnbull. Guess you are not aware there are Turnbull Collectors in the world? I paid $2450. for my 92 takedown ...
