I thought the tag said 999.00 but would not swear to it. I guess if anyone is lusting for one they will need to call them. I just usually buy powder from them but couldn't find my AA wads anywhere local and when I asked was told no but if we did they would be over by those S&W T shirts so I look...

I went to D&L Outdoors in RI to get some AA 20 ga wads today and as I was leaving I noticed they had a 1893 in 38-55. It was a rifle with what looked to be a half octagon 28 inch barrel. I didn't ask to hold it because I have no interest in it and didn't want to develop one, but thought I would ...

Pitchy that is a beautiful SXS I had a Stevens 311 20ga when I was young that I sure wish I'd kept! I did find out what a .410 will not do and that is kill a coyote at 35 yards with #6 copper coated shot. I took this pump out to the orchard hoping to see a rabbit or two and mister coyote ran by me. ...

A few weeks back I attended a Whitetail unlimited banquet and was drawn to win a prize. Well my ticket was about 4th to be drawn and out of the original selection there was a 12 ga semi riot gun and a .410 pump left. I choose the .410 and have been enjoying it pretty well. I shot a box of 3" Fe...

Marlin 1894cl 32-20 does what needs to be done.

Jim, when I was 15 I asked for several Lee loaders in the calibers we had on the home place. I had been loading 30 WCF with one for a year. Christmas Day after the presents under the tree were opened my Father brought out a box with a Rockchucker and dies for every centerfire we owned. Over 45 years...

I have seen the gun when I was young at Plymouth and at the NRA museum. I can prove I am of the 10th generation from Mr. Alden maybe I could lay claim to it???
Didn't Think so but it would be nice!

My neighbor who worked in the same shipyard I do for 36 years said to me out of the blue one day, so you think its tough going into work everyday? Try being 85 with bone on bone knees getting up to go to take a leak 4-5 times a night! I have had both my shoulders tuned up years ago a little COPD and...

I slept in until 5 am this morning which is about 45 min behind most days. The 60 year old bladder is a treacherous thing. But I still hear my Grandfather yelling up the stairs to all of his grand children to get up, the suns almost up and you will miss the best part of the day! I do believe he was ...

EdinCT

One of the best I've seen. Also one of the last the didn't rely on foul language and nudity to sell the story.

EdinCT

Praying for you all.

EdinCT

That is a Sweet rifle! I would be harassing the squirrel population out back with some short HP's.

EdinCT

Praying for your mom and your Family.

I always pray for Gods will to be done and if I don't know if a person has accepted Christ has their savior that he would draw them to himself. I know the Lord has not always answered my prayers the way I would of liked but I am his property, I was bought with a high price of Christs blood so his wi...

She did great and a nice first deer! I never thought about a shotgun only area of Montana but hear that the 220 20 ga is more like hunting with a 44 carbine.

EdinCT

Praying for the family.

I use Rooster jacket on my powder coated bullets by putting a few drops in a sandwich bag and then rolling my bullets around and pouring them onto parchment paper to dry. I bet it would lube your pellets well also.

EdinCT

Boy do they bring back a memory! My cross lots neighbor Fred was a real gentle soul who was my Dads childhood chum. He was kind enough to let me shoot out of his garage window at a 50 yard target in his field and I remember a women Fred knew stopping by and rolling every can of the board at 50 yards...

EdinCT

I knew a young women who owned one she lived a few miles down the road when I was young. She shot a woodchuck several times in the chest that was in her garden and you could cover the holes with a quarter from a thirty five yard shot. My Dad just said remember its the female lion that does all the k...

I remember a article by Brian Pierce in Handloader or Rifle on the 45/70 that said they have been proofed to some where around the pressures of the 500. I would think it isn't going to hold up very long. I know for the hunting I do the 28000 loads have only once had one not exit in the many deer and...

EdinCT

Way to get after them Nath! Season opens the first of Sept here but Now all my boys have grown and gone Its hard to justify cooking one. My wife rolls her nose up at the idea of eating one, guess I forgot to ask about that in the interview LOL. What kind of range do you get with the smooth bore and ...

EdinCT

Makes me think of all the old cows sucking up the seepage coming out of the bottom of silage pits. One of my buddies Dads would get angry at them and call them drunkun wh**es and state that he hated milking drunk cows!

EdinCT

Prayers for the baby and family.

EdinCT

Thanks ! I had a rainy relaxing day.

EdinCT

I can tell you from experience my 1895 45/70 CB will make one his size go all loose quick. So if you change your mind you are well armed

If they are eating good they eat real good and you can brine and smoke them like a hog too!

EdinCT

I can relate Pitchy I have a 5 1/2 44 Bisley vaquero that is very fuzzy now. I could still be dangerous at 20 yards or so but when I bought it I could keep 5 245 gr Keith bullets over 9 gr of unique inside of 6 inches at 75 yards no problem.
They are a nice gun aren't they!

EdinCT

Pitchy Can they live trap him, and relocate the bird seed poacher? They can't resist donuts but it will need to be a mighty strong convert trap to hold that big one.
They do taste good if there is a fall season by the way and bird seed fattened too!

EdinCT

I wish Trump would not even acknowledge this but he can't seem to leave it alone. I am amazed that all the women who accused Clinton where made out to be loose gold diggers by the media and here we have a honest to goodness loose gold digger and the media is making her a victim ?

EdinCT

So true Pitchy we have already WON no matter what comes our way. I will pray for you though its hard to trust folks with our health when it appears that they are not on top of things.

EdinCT

Pitchy, We always had a flock of sheep around up until 6 years ago so we had the issues of varmits and dogs that like to kill sheep. My dad was a firm believer in a shotgun for social work and # 4 buck was the load of choice. I once shot a newfoundland as big has a bear and it laid him low at about ...

I will feel the loss of John in this world, but praise God that we will be reunited in Gods Kingdom again. My condolences to his family.

Just thinking pork bones are a lot softer than Elk bones. I agree save your cash.

My wife decided to get her CCL two years ago and she said she wanted her own gun. She shopped and came home with a Sig 238 with night sights and really likes it. I am amazed in the fact that the sights glow bright even after a month in her liberty box. The only thing she didn't like about it, was th...

EdinCT

Praying for you Pitchy! I know 30 years ago my Grand Father was in pain and was getting the same run around. My Dads best friend was a Dr and he stopped by and said to him lay on the floor and don't even think about getting up. Gramp said he couldn't do that and Doc said yes you will and I get you l...

EdinCT

Kirk, Looks like you hit the jackpot! I can certainly appreciate honest rifles and the deluxe is one that trips my trigger. It has enough use where a little more is guilt free. I recently bought a 235 gr NOE mold with the hollow point pin and semi hollow pin and would like to try the semi hollow on ...

EdinCT

I use IMR 30-31 32 grs with a 170 gr jacketed bullet am and satisfied. I have shot 35 gr of 748 and it was a good load but it has been called temperature sensitive so I stay with 30-31. The 184 gr cast Lyman 321297 over 27.5 grs of 30-31 shoots well ,also 25 grs of R7 under the cast has shot well. T...

EdinCT

Pitchy, I have enjoyed your posts I started with a safety razor but went to the disposable's and my wife threw out my old Gillette

My Grandfather used to put his blades in a 8 oz glass and run them back and forth on his finger then flip them and do the other side to sharpen them.

EdinCT

Good going Earl! I didn't post it but shot a bull calf on my last morning on a New Mexico cow hunt. They are fit to eat! I didn't have the cool facter of a Savage 99. I used my .338 Ruger but the result was the same.

EdinCT

Prayers up for Paco. Thanks for keeping us informed

EdinCT

Great photos! My Grandfather told of going up to work on Lathrop engines perhaps on generators at POW camps in Maine during the war. He said they had very little fencing if any, and when he ask what stops them from escaping, he was told that the lucky ones find there way back in a day or so.

EdinCT

Bob, I used the 170 gr flat point Hornady for years and it shot well and killed very well at around 2000 fps. When we had the shortage a few years back I needed bullets and there wasn't any to be found except the Speers so I loaded them over my standard load and they shot very well, better than the ...

EdinCT

I love that the scout scope makes my old 32 a hunting rifle again instead of a safe queen it looks like yours is back in business also. Congrats on a nice doe!

EdinCT

That's Great news. Prayers for her recovery.

EdinCT

1972 is not old is it? I have shot ammo from 1920 and maybe older. I would shoot it and reload it. Lead oxide shouldn't be harder than steel and I wouldn't touch it with sandpaper( harder than steel) maybe copper chore boy but the air born lead dust isn't going to be good, so I'd just shoot it.

EdinCT

I remember a box from my grandfathers that had 3.75 on the flap. I hope you get the chance to use one on deer this year!

EdinCT

Pete44 they are tough to call but I have got a few and do much better from a tree stand and different calls than rabbit in distress. Fox pro's red squirrel and woodpecker have brought them in. Yours may be educated to your calls. The 44 isn't ideal but 4-5 have fallen to it. Like Ollogger I use what...

EdinCT

First congrats on a beauty of a buck and nice rifle. You got off cheap my wife bought a Grand piano that cost about the same has a car. So far I have justified a bear hunt and two cow elk hunts with it

. Well worth it!

EdinCT

I read this and hope I never have to use my 642 Smith in anger. At 25 feet I do pretty good and at 25 yards I shoot min of torso. I agree with two to the chest one to the head, but Bill Jordan once said after shooting a hole through a baddy's hat that all shooting goes to H*** when you are being sho...

I was hunting a few miles from home this am and was told by one of the men who work the farm that there appeared to be a lot of coyotes this year. I had just sat down and saw this guy running along about 60 yards out. I tried to stop him by lip squeaking but he just kept loping along so I put the sc...

EdinCT

I love that model of the 99! I know two folks who used them, sadly one of the rifles was lost to a house fire and the other was used by a warden taken from the confiscation pile and had to be returned to the state upon their retirement.
