Oh, yes, I meant to add, in my mind, there is a reason the military is putting optics on the M16's, you just are more effective.

I scope nearly every rifle I own. I just plain shoot better. Not all of my rifle projects are levers, but scopes are usually involved. http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n82/handirifle/DSCN1431.jpg :lol: This is in early stages of development :lol: , with LOTS of room for improvement at this point. ...

Well my plan is to test in all manners if possible. I'm only getting 5 bullets so the test will obviously be limited in scope. What leverluver says makes sense, and the thicker sides was a concern mentioned by Barnes, but I have nothing to lose and a great 375 BB bullet to gain if it works. At any r...

For the sights, I'd suggest the Williams FP. it's a fine sight and you can unscrew the peep insert and it's as good as a ghost ring. Not as strong and durable, but unless you drop it on the sight it will last.

Re: Scoped 1894c

What's you guys opinion of the Weaver K2.5 on an 1894c? That's what I have on my 1895GS and it fills the bill nicely. Good scope, handles recoil well and is bright and clear. The ONLY drawback, to me, is when sighting in at longer ranges, it would be nice to know if it was me or the load opening th...

Gonna do a test

I'm getting a small sample (5) of the Barnes 235gr TSX bullets http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=536854&t=11082005 to test in my 375 Big Bore. These are spire point bullets, but Iam going to cut the nose off just like I did the Hornady's. I'll try them as hollow po...

That day was not a "trajedy" it was an act of war by a sect of cowards, and we best never forget it.

As was mentioned the TV stations are a bunch of a$$wipes that are afraid to face the truth.

May we NEVER forget those that died that day and the many before it.

The only difference is the length of the shell. The .375 is a tad shorter, but the COL is the same. Therefore if you are shooting cast, it should make no difference. With the price of Hornady 220's sky rocketing, anybody know where I can get a deal on 'em. Still have not found a decent gc cast bull...

I probably have seen it, but never was even curious about the import levers.

I also noticed it was a rebounding hammer, not half cock.

I may just have to wait and save for another marlin.

Puma 357 mag

Looked at a Puma 357 mag at Big 5 store today. liked everything but the safety. it sits on top and looks like stuff. looks very flimsy and weak.

Are all the Pumas like this?

It's on sale for $399
