Friends don't let friends buy Hi Points. Well said! jb 8) All right, come on now. Most people who buy a Hi-Point for $80 are not going to shoot it enough to break it. For a self defense gun at room (15' max) range it will work just fine. I do not like Hi-Points but for a self defense firearm chambe...

Or in my case, the next four guys. She is already done with #5 (me being #1). I feel somewhat vindicated.

I am still on #2, it really is better the second time around!

damienph

Just about anything that shoots is worth $80. I do not like Hi-Points at all, not even their carbines but for $80, I would have a hard time walking away from that; especially since you just want to shoot it some and then give it to some new shooter who might be on a very limited budget.

Kind of like the looks of the Leupold vx-1 Hog. Its 1.5-4x and is extremely compact. If the rings I put on order are garbage, can always try another set of rings. I would hate to make a 150+ yard shot with 4x, so a 2-7x seems really good too. Thanks for the advice gents (and ladies?). Does anyone h...

That will work great except for the part where you have to shine your flashlight on your sights to get them to glow so you can line up your shot.

Thank you for sharing pictures of your 52. That is just stunning!

I like Neil Young's music. He's just an entertainer to me. I regard him the same as I do all other entertainers, he is a wackjob with one redeemable quality. His is music, I listen to it and completely ignore the rest of his bs.

The easiest would be .276 Rigby, I've got an extra set of dies somewhere.

Mine were here when I got home from work this evening. I usually wear a 12 and these 12.5s fit perfect. Like others have said, comfortable out of the box. Heck of a deal!
O.S.O.K. thanks again for the heads up.

I'm hoping for your success in quitting. From a former smoker, I really hope that you do it. I know that it's hard, I enjoyed smoking from the first one to the last one. I've been tobacco free since 1990. You can do it, you will feel better.

The only small 22 that I have is a Beretta 950BS in .22 Short. I also have a Mosquito, a P22, a Ruger Standard and a Mark II but I don't consider them small.

Oly; You are right about the Bigboys. Handled the "brass" octagon version of one 45 Colt. Felt about like the Uberti '76 . I have never seen or handled either of the new .30-30 models but I have shot both .357 amd .44 magnum Big Boys. They are decent shooters but just do not appeal to me;...

Congratulations!!

I keep hoping that I'll be getting one of those myself one day. A grandchild that is, so far leverguns have been a lot easier to come by. My younger brother has two... grandchildren (and leverguns).

That's perfect! With those mirrored slab sides, you can check to be sure your hat is on straight before entering the BBQ.

I really like those grips too.

" I would prefer a steel receiver but could live with the aluminum." do they make a steel receiver ? I don't know if they still do but at one time they were steel. I think maybe the BLR 81 started the light weight alloy models. I don't know if that is correct. I think that my b-i-l's was ...

My b-i-l had one in 22-250, scoped. That rifle would outshoot my Ruger #1 which was also in 22-250. I lost interest in the #1 and traded it off. He sold his BLR without telling me, otherwise, I would own it. It is the only one that I've ever shot but it was a very accurate and fun to shoot rifle. Li...

I have that exact pistol, except I have four 10 round mags for mine. I did buy it during the ban and really like it. I would like to have a 357 Sig barrel for mine

Me too, just ordered a pair of 12.5W. That's a heck of a price. Thanks for the heads up!!

I've looked at those Witness pistols but I have a hard time getting past the feeling that they are built for drug lords and gang bangers. Egads some of them are gaudy!

Keeping affordable insurance is one very important reason that I have to go until 66 instead of retiring at 62. Retiring at 62 and keeping my current level of health, dental, vision and prescription coverage through COBRA would cost me approx $1200 a month.

Charlie, you are right about this being a lever gun forum but I believe that most of us would enjoy seeing a pictorial of the building of that rifle.
