My wife (her first kill) and I have both killed white-tails with a .44 Mag Marlin Trapper with Hornady .200 Gr XTPs. They performed well on soft-skinned white tails with one-shot kills.

Paladin

Excellent choice for a starter. Glad she likes it.

Paladin

Beautiful looking piece, keep us posted on the outcome.

Paladin

Congratulations, I wish you as much luck as I have had with my rescue "WALDO" he ended up being 120 pounds of Rhodesian Ridgeback. He wakes me up for brown bears without barking and pushed me out of the way of a Mojave green rattlesnake on the porch of the southern house. Rescues are GREA...

Paladin

Glad I am not the only one.

Paladin

Excellent. I had a game warden friend in the early 80s show me an uncovered dump full of rats. When things quieted down we would go there and shoot until the flashlight went dead. I went through 10,00 rds that year and became a great revolver (S&W Model 17 to match the Model 19 I carried) shot.

Paladin

I have two Rossi's perfected by Steve and have his CD on how to do it. Cleaning up one (not as well as him), but that may be an option.

Paladin

Thank you SIR for the instructions and humerus post.

Paladin

I prefer the .44 Special most of the time and use them in my Magnums but don't own a gun in that caliber.

Paladin

An excellent answer to the destruction of building batteries.

Paladin

WOW, nice rifle. I always wanted a Marlin in .45 Colt to go with my .44 Mag Trapper, woods walking gun in the lower 48.

Paladin

Great photos, thanks for sharing. How far away is the volcano? You may want to check your lens filters.

Paladin

As stated all suppressors change POI some with the stiffer barrels not as much. The newer suppressors will improve the accuracy of most rifles as it changes the barrel harmonics. I use a Surefire on my .308s and .5.56s and a Rugged Obsidian 45 on my bush guns up to .458 SOCOM I don't have one rated...

Paladin

I guess there is an advantage to being old, my Armalite is a first-model 16-inch carbine with a second-upper in with an 18-inch Proof Carbon Fiber wrapped barrel. In 2002 I built and carried an M-14K (selector switch worked) in Iraq (with the help of a GREAT gunsmith in Colorado Springs) which was ...

Paladin

The various AR-10 platforms have poor parts interchangeability ... especially in the magazine catch area. I would stick with the platforms that conform to the SR-25 mag style. I don't know why Armalite did the thing with the M1A mags. It seems like there were plenty of original AR-10 waffle mags fl...

Paladin

I also have a few 7.62x51 options. My latest is a Dessert Tech convertible between 7.62x51 and 5.56 (and a few others). It shoots great, but I have not yet put the 7.62 x51 barrel in it. Very handy for a truck gun, just a little heavier for the larger caliber. barrels come in different lengths, and...

We were in Phoenix, and my wife saw this and wanted it. On the drive home, she talked about her guns she could sell to get it. About two weeks later, I surprised her with it and two holsters Simply Rugged made for it and her 3-inch Python after I gave them a python skin.

Great find

Paladin

Great looking pistols

Paladin

They took a few designs from Simply Rugged also. They don't care, the money they make while the lawyers delay is profit.

Paladin

Great looking rig.

Paladin

Short Barreled Leverguns are very handy, even though the government now limits how short they can be. Most are in calibers that handle meat targets well (even the brown bears). They do not upset the sheeple as much as my MP-5, short-barreled rifles, or shotguns. Even Canada allows you to travel thr...

Paladin

Sorry to hear about the error. I understand the hunt.

Just like some people today.

Toured a camp in 75, started me down the path I ended up on for 28 more years.

Sorry, I have had 4 Runners from 1985 on and don't know the answers, never had problems.

Paladin

Well done, Sir

Paladin

If I hunt the same thing I was hunting last time I was there, A HK MP-5 and an M-14. If I am after animals, my WildWest Co-Pilot in .457 WW and the Styer Pro hunter in 300 Win Mag.

Grew up a farm kid and have had dog problems as many here stated my whole life. In the 60s, there was an article in one of the gun magazines I read with recommendations of what firearms to use in dog hunts, with the minimum being a 12ga with buckshot and a .45 as backup. I started with a .22 on the...

Paladin

Very impressive, much nicer than the model Gurkhas carry

Paladin

$7.50 for a cardboard carton (Brick) of CCI MiniMags from Highschool days (late 60s).

Paladin

I have been lucky and have three JM Marlins, an older Marlin 1895 with Ballard rifling, a guide gun my nephew picked out for me on a trade, and a Wild West Co-Pilot I bought used from a member here. I hunt with the guide gun and Co-Pilot both shoot better than I having killed everything I have shot...

Paladin

Congratulations, He looks pretty happy and that is a WIN.

Paladin

Thanks for the update and photos, Good luck in the new year.

Paladin

Great system, got one mounted on a .44.

Paladin

Nice rifle involved in one of my favorite sports, rock shooting.

Paladin

Went solar this year (and paid for it) and have my own well with generators for backup and a 2500 gal above ground water tank. The house is heated with propane off a 500 gal tank that lasted all winter last year. Freezer is full of moose, salmon, and whitetail with enough other things for a large p...

Me too. I looked for the "gas tube" on my .44 Special SAA ... I guess it's the same tube that is rifled and where the bullet comes out. No way am I gonna get an empty in there!

Too Funny

Tried a friends Red Dot mounted pistol then had my Glock 23 milled and mounted a Trijicon 1 MOA SRO. I was told Gunsite was starting a 250 Red Dot Class and after having the pistol set up for a month, I took the class. I like the fact it is much faster shooting the Red Dot than hunting the front si...

Paladin

Sad to say this has been coming for a long time. I was a cub scout in the 60s and enjoyed it learning lots. With the National Headquarters in WV where I retired from the State Police, I have heard what was going on in the organization for a long time. The lack of spine of the organization (WHO KEPT...

This is my CZ with a Gemtech suppressor in .17 HM2. I have my nephews convened that if the gun goes off the squirrels' heads automatically disappear. I have a 10-22 rebuild with Volkerson parts I use for NRL22 matches sometimes with a suppressor.

Paladin

I submitted the paperwork in November 2019 and got it back in May 2020.

Paladin

While assigned in Kalifornia friend of mine, a former Intell guy I hired, had his wife call saying domestic violence. It didn't happen but the San Bernadino SO took all his guns (and two of my firearms). He was never charged was told the firearms had been destroyed and there was nothing he could do...

Paladin

Great looking setup

Paladin

Finally, got this project finished. A Rossi .44 Mag ceracoated, barrel and mag tube cut and threaded, 1892 rail installed with a solar-powered 2 MOA red dot, and a Rugged Obsidian .45 ACP Suppressor (rated for .458 SOCOM light mount not on it yet.) Released yesterday from ATF Jail. Sighted it in wi...

Paladin

Congratulations

Paladin

Well done HENRY.

Paladin

Very impressive I know you don't have to go far out of Anchorage either south or north to find the lakes, enjoy and be careful.

Paladin

Thanks for posting that, always did call my .44 Marlin my Kalifornia assault rifle when I got transferred there.

Paladin

Congratulations

Your selection of the area to hunt paid off. Well done.
