WOW! I wonder if that species is further northeast, in NE Quebec, where my son hopes to get in some fishing during his week of Caribou hunting the Leaf River/George River area.

Look around for one of those thousands of $300 used/refinished petite Remington #4 rollers in .32, and rechamber it for .32 H&R.

The low bucks purchase price gives leeway for stock mods, etc.

The looks of gunstocks & girlfriends aside :wink: , I've actually tried that style of "hogsback" stock, and it worked really great for me, in offhand shooting with iron sights on a .375 CZ-550 Magnum.

Sadly, these levergun forums seem to be one of the last bastions of politeness, being populated by some real gentlemen & gentlewomen.

Other forums I frequent certainly have some polite gentlefolk, but most are, more and more, infected with potential trolls.

It's too bad there's not a separate section for political posts - for those that partake in such.

I've heard that those aftermarket 5-shot mags for .303 SMLE's don't work very well, and some users have to switch back to the military 10-shot mag as a work-around.

The military mag, does protrude down, changing the bottom line ahead of the trigger guard, though.

.30-30 Trapper Spotted

I stopped by one of the local pusher's, today - and saw a pretty nice Winchester M94 top-eject.30-30 Trapper, that already had a side peep installed, in almost perfect cndition except for a very slight freckling, low on both sides of the receiver in the area below the loading port. It was there on c...
