This is not really what you asked for but I'm gonna tell ya what I did. I bought a Mueller optics sport-dot for my 1895 Marlin in 45-70 LOVE IT!! After several thousand rounds of full house 45-70sand several years, I did shoot it loose, went to put up to my shoulder and cross hairs were now a big X ...

I will be 20+ miles north of Hayden CO. I have been very diligent in hitting the treadmill 6 nights a week, being old and fat I started at 1/2 mile now I do 3 miles a night in 45 minutes at 4.5% grade. I used to live in MT but it was a LOOONNNGGG time ago so I am planning on taking it easy the first...

fordwannabe

I agree with the last two post....AND I HAD JES DO THE REBORE(thats the guy in the link)ON MY 1894. He is a super good guy to deal with and at least my rifle is amazingly accurate. I could not recommend anyone higher!

usually the guys with the pronounced arch haul steel coils which may weigh 50.000 pounds each, and those trailers are aluminum decked. When you drop that coil on your aluminum trailer it had better have a arch or it will have a bow after.

fordwannabe

Thanks guys. I was shooting it again today and can pop 8 inch baloons every time with it at 100 yards which is much smaller than the vitals of an elk soo I will leave it as is until I get back. Leaving three weeks from tomorrow. I have a bull elk, cow elk, and mulie tag SOMETHIN IS GETIN 33'D. I app...

I love old leverguns and usually can figure most of the stuff out myself but I need y'alls assistance on this. I have a 1886 with a newer lyman tang sight on it and the marbles front sight has to be VERY far to the left in the dovetail for the gun to shoot well. I see people talking about shimming t...

fordwannabe

YEAH what Griff said! Those are the dies I use on a 94 Jesse did for me.

fordwannabe

...Thanks for the update and glad for her progress.

Going deer hunting in Pa with that setup by chance?? Several of us are on that other forum too!!

fordwannabe

Thanks gentlemen! We are doing ok, my wife had a hard day today but we got to talk for 4 hours yesterday on the way home, and we decided we are pretty lucky to have been able to rescue him from a bad situation, and he then showed his love for us from that day on. He had his days though...we knew thi...

Last night we had to make the decision to take our much loved red dobie to the vet to be put down. He has had cancer over most of his body for a while, and after they said what they were gonna have to put him through, we said "thanks but no thanks". Up until Friday he was doing well and ha...

I also am headed to NW colorado but I am going in November...with a 1902 winchester 1886 in 33wcf.

fordwannabe

YOU GOT MY PRAYERS!

fordwannabe

I use 9.0 grains of 2400 with a 100 grain xtp in my original 1892 winchester. I have a 1889 in 44-40 and I bet they are about the same strength. As always work up the load and STOP AT THE FIRST SIGNS OF EXCESS PRESSURE. Good luck Tom

fordwannabe

I just pull the bullet and powder then fire the primed case in the rifle, and usually the people at the range look at me dumb...but it gets the job done. I am taking a 1886 in 33wcf as my primary gun on an elk hunt this November in Colorado.

fordwannabe

I WANT ONE!!!! Please let us know when they are available.

fordwannabe

I had JES rebore a 94 for me from 30=30 to 38-55 and I couldn't be happier, and she is a shooter!!!!
At the time I couldn't afford a "real" 38-55 but this is almost as cool.

fordwannabe

As A Nurse, I can tell you with the spirit that is behind that smile and a few prayers from a couple of friends(even if she doesn't know us ...YET)that girl is gonna be fine. Congratulations and Praise God..

My first marriage broke up over this issue,keep an eye on her some women don't handle this well at all. God Bless and prayers sent.

I shoot a marlin in 44 mag and you are on the right trail. I use 240 cast bullet and a medium to slightly stiff load of H110 and can hit a steel groundhog cutout 9 out of 10 with the peep sight and a fiber optic front sight at 100 yards...plenty for deer. Good luck and work up the load slowly stop a...

I am looking to get a chart of the drop on one of my loads(and yes I will shoot it to fine tune but wanted a guesstimate) I am using 165 grain nosler partitions with 45 grains of varget in a R-P cases for my 308with a 20 inch barrel. Looking for drop at 200 300 400 if anyone can help. Thanks

fordwannabe

I have had a henry large loop for a couple years and I am also lefty..I have had no issues at all with the ejection...or anything else on that gun.

fordwannabe

Washita it's called "gun stories" with Joe Montagna.

fordwannabe

dunno I just had a guy give me 5000 federal large pistol so I'l be good for those for a while...now large rifle down to 2500 and gettin the heebie jeebies.

fordwannabe

Stuff like this makes me proud to be a part of this forum. Glad your feeling better Pitchy we need you around here.

fordwannabe

WELL IT IS A NICE GROUP BUT... we all know a Pennsylvania whitetail will laugh off the 30-30 and grab the gun and beat you with it. No really I heard this at the gunshop just the other day, and you know they can't say stuff at a gunshop that ain't true! I hope she enjoys it as much as I bet you did ...

fordwannabe

DONE! GOD BLESS

fordwannabe

YES YES YES I have already loaded BP loads for my Wesley Richards. I didn't hunt dove for years but after getting into sxs and hammer guns especially I really enjoy it more than I ever did with a pump or semi.

fordwannabe

Yup he did a good bit of TV was watching westerns channel in the garage either lastnight or the night before and there he was on " Marshall Dillon".

fordwannabe

Again this may be the same interview but I saw it on Westerns channel and Bruce Dern said for the next 20 years little old ladiies would slug him with their pocketbooks cause he was the "son of a female dog" that shot John Wayne. It apparently didn't do any good to explain it was acting ei...

Sorry jack, but we are better to have had them in our lives for the time we are together. a favorite quote of mine is "The more people I meet the better I like my dog" Did you save the collar? I have four collars hanging here in the bedroom and just looked up and got a smile remembering ea...

fordwannabe

Cant remember going in the woods without a gun of some sort since I was a kid. My normal just walking in the "woods" in this civilized place is a 1911, cause what I am gonna run into a problem with, is a dog or a dude and and 45 acp works for both. When we go out hunting in the WOODS(mAINE...

fordwannabe

6PT, did you dollar bill the tang area on that rifle. The savages have a tendency to need that extra room at the rear. You probably already know this but thoughtId through it out there. Floating the tang on my 223 savage helped it win the savageshooters.com PA shootout this year, touching the x at 3...

Hobie this is supposed to be a reply to the other post could you please move it for me. Thanks

I was out at my buddies private range the other month and we were shooting high velocity ammo out of my bolt action with the can on it and it was funny as could be click (firing pin) .....boom(bullet breaking the sound barrier).......ding(impact on gong). It may not translate unless you have done it...

fordwannabe

Rusty, my can fits a couple different guns also but when it is on the bolt action rifle, I shoot groundhogs out the back door and people in my house dont know its going off....WAY QUIETER THAN MY GAMO AIR RIFLE. I am using super colibre in that rifle but it will not cycle a semi auto. The other day ...

fordwannabe

USE JES AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS!!!!!
HOW IS THAT FOR A RECOMMENDATION HE DOES FANTASTIC WORK DOES IT IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME AND CHARGES A REASONABLE FEE FOR THE AMAZINGLY ACCURATE RIFLE HE SENDS BACK TO YOU. He did a winchester for me from 30-30 to 38-55 and it is awesome.

fordwannabe

REPRODUCTIONS.....like the ones made in BIG TIMBER MT, that everybody, not just gun guys in that neck of the woods knows about...naw couldn't have been one of those. AAARRRGGGHHHHH!
Thought it was pretty good otherwise.
