Has anyone made a comparison of these two bullets, 180 gr. for a 300 Win Mag.
Someone told me they didn't think the Accubond with the plastic tip would
hold together well with heavy animals like moose or bear. Any thoughts?

daisygordoninc

Beautiful rifle, thanks for posting. I have a couple of rifles made by Miroku as well, they are well built and I have not found anything but quality. In the beginning I guess we all thought they wouldn't be what we were looking for in manufacturing but I think they have gotten most of them right. Co...

Thank you, I have looked forward to my 70th, thankful for health and family, and of course knowing God loves me and has a place for me eternally. I still walk 4 miles with a couple of guys each morning at 6:30 over hills to keep in "hunting" condition. Have a moose and bear hunt scheduled ...

I have one that was factory installed in the early 50's it is a Lyman 56. I think that might have been standard.
It works really sweet. I don't know what they cost now, but would fit the gun nicely.

daisygordoninc

Because of the light weight characteristics of the Win. 70 featherweight and considerable recoil of
the 300 Win Mag, someone suggested a muzzle brake, anyone have experience with how much
that helps?

daisygordoninc

The police say that the two escapes from New York prison got their guns and ammo from a hunters
cabin that had stored guns and ammo, that seems crazy to me.

daisygordoninc

What are your thoughts on these New York hunters that left guns and ammo in unwatched,
cabins in the woods. That just makes no sense to me, does it to any of you? That is difficult
for me to believe.

daisygordoninc

Does anyone have experience taking off a safety and installing a new one on
a Winchester 70 featherweight? Do you know of any on-line resource for that?

daisygordoninc

Thank you I will give them a call.

For Reloaders: Can I use a 308 Lee Crimp Die for a 300 (.308) Win Mag. I don't see a 300 Win Mag
listed, but there is a 308. Anyone have experience with this?

All my flannel shirts came from their catalog, and every other boy in school had the same shirts, just different patterns and colors, sometimes the same because our moms all got them from Monkey Wards catalogs.

daisygordoninc

Do You know what state and what year?

daisygordoninc

Amen to that, my dad was fighting in the South Pacific when I was born, wasn't home from the war until I was more than one. He didn't talk much about it, just accepted his place in it. He was tough and tender as a father, but I was always indebted to him for his service along with all the other men....

This is my Winchester 64 Manufactured in 1941, I plan to hunt with it.

daisygordoninc

I picked up a Winchester 64 manufactured in 1941, looks very nice, some wear, barrel is clean. I have wanted one for quite a while, of course I like anything Winchester lever action but I have always been outbid because they go for a pretty penny often. I picked it up for $710 including shipping and...

My Great Aunt on my mom's side lived in the Yukon as a young bride, her husband was gone much of the time, worked on a boat several months of the year. She trapped and mined for gold, had nothing but a 30-30 like many of her age group at the time. She did kill grizzlies with it along with everything...

I've owned a 94 AE in 444 Marlin for several years. I have a scope on it but have not hunted with it yet.
Should be powerful enough to take down just about anything. Often referred to as a 44 Mag on steroids.

daisygordoninc

I own a Winchester 71 one made in early 50's. It is beautiful, and I agree with others that it might be the best lever action ever built. I used to hear people say bullets were hard to find, but reloading opens up all kinds of options. I have several loads I will be testing this summer for a fall mo...

Bear hunting trip to BC spring 2013, just published in the American Shooting Journal May issue. The men in my Church sent me bear hunting in BC as a gift, they knew it was on my bucket list. A local sports writer and hunter Troy Rodakowski wrote the story and gave it to American Shooting Journal, (f...

Mine is 171306 and has the special 32 sp rear sight
hope to load a 170 cast bullet and kill a moose or bear this fall up in BC

daisygordoninc

Thank you, I have ordered some Beartooth 170 gr. cast
I appreciate the info. I figure if Levergun community can't answer a question
it probably can't be answered. I love being part of this community.

daisygordoninc

Thank you for that info. I had thought about cast bullets, the barrel is quite good, and that might just be the answer if I can find some good heavy, 180 gr. perhaps. Any source of cast bullets for 32 special?

daisygordoninc

I have a Winchester 32 Special Model 94 made in 1903 with a 26 in. Octagon Barrel. Does anyone know what the
twist rate on it would be?

daisygordoninc

Yes, that confused me as well, but that is what is on the barrel, exactly. I think it was made late 80's to late 90's.
It is a featherweight, I have another featherweight 270 but it isn't a Sporter XTR, it's a classic featherweight.

daisygordoninc

Is the Winchester 70 XTR Sporter Magnum Featherweight 300 Win Mag
a short action or long action? Does anyone know of a good source for
a new wood stock for the same rifle?

daisygordoninc

Does anyone have an opinion about the quality of the late model 70 Featherweights, say 90's on until now?

daisygordoninc

Does anyone know the year of manufacture of a Winchester 70 serial number G 2015082 ? It's not listed on Winchester's
list, too new?

daisygordoninc

I know that guys use the 270 Winchester for hunting moose quite commonly but the light weight bullet worries me a little bit.
How heavy can a person go with bullet weight on a 270 and still be effective at say inside 250 yards? Have anyone experimented with this?

daisygordoninc

My Winchester 356 in a 94 is just about the best overall rifle I have, and I have many. Have killed black bear with it and I suspect it will take just about anything North America has to offer. I load mine with Speer 220 gr. Hot-cor, and I have used several powders with great success. It isn't picky...

daisygordoninc

The number of this Winchester 70 300 Win Mag isn't listed on the Winchester date site.
g 1917108 Any thoughts, I think it must be post 64 but can't find it.

daisygordoninc

I have a nice Winchester 94 in 444. Had no problem sighting it in, plan to kill a bear with it. Don't know why people have not liked the 444, some have said the recoil is too great, but even in my very light 94 it isn't an issue. Perhaps people who have not handled heavier recoil before would have a...

Last fall I missed getting a shot at a very, very large antlered bull moose in BC. I'm wondering how many years a bull has very large sets of antlers, of course wondering what he might look like next fall. I plan to return and attempt to get another opportunity with this moose. What are the chances ...

daisygordoninc

I'm sure there is a history of this topic being discussed but the thought of hunting large game with a Winchester 270 is new to me. I have usually opted for something that starts with a 3 or 4 in the past. I guess my concern would be bullet weight being too small for large game, bear and moose. Anyo...

I have a Winchester 94 375 I would be willing to part with if the price was right. It appears new, I bought it NIB a few years ago, have shot it only a few times. It is beautiful, no scratches and one of the things I like about it is there is no safety on it, no tang or cross bolt safety. If you are...

The Winchesters being made in Japan are really good, probably the best being made. I have several in different calibers and have had great results from them. I haven't heard anyone who isn't happy with them. You would have several caliber choices. I have a Winchester 1886 45-90 that is just really v...

Steve, I hunt bears and moose with my Winchester 356 AE with a Leupold scope. I use a Speer Hot Core 220 Gr. bullet. It is very accurate and good out to 200 yards plus. Killed a bear at 150 yards one shot dead bear. I like the .358 really well. I think you should be careful about trying to load a 38...

daisygordoninc

Actually because it was spring I did not bring the meat home, I gave it to the First Nation families.

I forgot to mention that I shot this cinnamon bear from 150 yrds with my Winchester 94 AE 356, one shot down and dead.

daisygordoninc

Nice Rifle, I thought about bidding on that myself. Those are worth so much these days, you got it for a real decent price, some go much higher as you know. Every hunter should have at least one or two of them. My problem is I like them so much I just keep buying them, they are too beautiful to pass...

I thought we all had one or more of those "safeguards" to our liberty.

Thanks, those help, I definitely have a deluxe model made in 1953 near mint. My wife found it at Cabela's for my birthday. It appears to be original and almost new. I think she got a great price $1299.00. I talked to the Cabela's gun library guy and he said the person who traded it in didn't need mu...

What are the differences between a Winchester 71 regular and a deluxe model?
Someone told me my 71 was a deluxe model, I don't know what that means. I
have not seen enough of them to know what items a deluxe has on it vs a regular
model.

daisygordoninc

Does anyone have an idea about how many 71s originals are still in circulation? That might not be something anyone could even guess at, I think about 41,000 were built. The price on most being offered is really up there, I'm wondering if that is because they are becoming scarce. I know they were mor...

daisygordoninc

The 348 is just about ideal for moose out to about 200 yards. I make my own ammo for it, but Buffalo Bore does make high powered stuff, I have not tried it, 348 isn't hard to get materials for reloading. Any lever gunner wants a Winchester 71 anyway. I hunted in BC this fall, my buddy got a big moos...

daisygordoninc

Thank you, that is what I suspected but had not seen it in print. I have been reluctant to bid on any 94 with them because I am interested in collecting originals, likely that has been a good choice.

daisygordoninc

Some of the 94s I see for sale on line made prior to 1964 have sling swivels. Did any of those 94s ever come from the factory with swivels, or were they always added. I have not read about that in any of the books on 94s but notice several have swivels.

daisygordoninc

Yes, I have read all the articles about this and have never really heard a reasonable answer that explains it, I'm beginning to be a conspiracy believer, I just don't know what the conspiracy might be?
