WOW - I never realized there was such a difference...! Thanks for posting.

Congratulations Y2K, does that mean an increase in your allowance? :D ... and I thought I was bad, always badgering his dad to buy him more guns ... :lol: Seriously, though, it IS cool to see that at least a few of our young people are growing up with the core values we think of as "American&q...

Originally, I wanted a Mel-Tappan-ish 'battery' of say 9-10 firearms, all very practical, part of a cohesive 'package' where overlap was minimal, yet carefully planned.

You guys have me convinced . . . I like to keep a gun in the truck when I'm out 'fire-wooding', in case of a feral dog pack or coyotes or whatever, although I've only taken a few shots in several years, and I usually have a side-arm if needed for personal protection. Unfortunately, even in a padded...

Keep us updated on the project. Looks cool. Useful, too...!

If I lived in the city (we're too far out to get trick-or-treat-ers, I think I'd actually TRY that. Might educate a few of the stupid parents who probably spent more time picking their kid's costume than paying attention to the election.

I've never reloaded for that round ( always wanted a Contender in it, though ...), but < link > Ammoguide shows 18 loads for the Hornady 117 grainer, from 2014 fps to 2357 fps, using H-380, H-4198, H-4895, Varget, AA-2520, IMR-3031, and a few others.

I'm with Hobie, buying cheap firearms is waste of time to me. God Bless. There are a couple good reasons to buy a 'cheap' one sometimes... 1. I paid $100 for mine and it shoots great . It ain't a Ruger . But I wouldn't throw a Ruger in a tackle box to shoot a Musky in the head . The heritage I woul...

My two cents is .357s for both. 158gr JSPs will take out deer with a good hit, and do not kick. The 1894C, and the Rossi 92 clones are a handy size. Move up to 180gr if you desire a lot more thump. I guess great (and twisted) minds think alike... :lol: Thanks for the PM/trigger stuff by the way...

AJMD429

I'd get a lever action in .357, vs. .44 Mag, since it is easier to get milder loads for, and yet perfectly capable of killing a deer. Stepping up to the .44 Mag adds much noise and recoil, unless you handload .44-Special-level loads (and the factory .44 special round noses aren't very good hunting r...

Glad you're okay, but a tip for the future. Don't tie yourself to a tree when a tornado's in the area, get in a ditch or even just flat out on the ground instead. Tornado's pick things up because of the air pressure under them lifts, and trees have a lot of air under the branches. Much better to ju...

My #1 levergun is a Marlin 1895G. The snubnose of .45-70's to be sure, but it is an amazing weapon as far as accuracy is concerned. With a 1.25-4X mil-dot scope I am able to print sub MOA at 100 Yards with the right load and a steady rest. :o 8) 8) I'm thinking your 'Da Nang Sniper School' has alot...

The Encore ML's put less 'soot' on the scope than any others I've used except the Savage ML-10, and with a QD scope mount and that break-open action, you can clean them so easily; there's no need typically to clean the action/buttstock part. You can get a barrel in .223 or .416 Rigby if you want, to...

Fella at the range yesterday had an interesting AR. I don't know anything more than what I've read in this thread about AR's, but this fella was shooting a Bushmaster .450.

Might need to get a red dot scope for the Mark III though. :wink: The little 1" tube Millet ones are nice for that, although for a bit more dough, the Burris FastFire-II's are awesome. I think maybe there is even a dovetail-base available which allows you to mount it where the rear sight goes....

AJMD429

For the uses you cite (in a boat and/or close deer hunting), I think the longer barrel of either brand would just get in the way. Since you're planning a 'peep' sight, you don't really 'need' the Marlin for its 'scope-ability'. Both are available in stainless, although you'll have to pay a bit more ...

Nice to get a real-live hunting tale, especially with a levergun...!

I've tried bipods (rarely on leverguns, though :wink: ) and while I find them sort of helpful if I'm going to shoot prone, I seem to get better groups prone using a folded up blanket or jacket or smashed cardboard box or just about anything, vs. a bipod. I've tried fixed, flexible, and very flexible...

However, Stoner ran piston guns himself and designed the AR as a direct impingement for a reason. What were his reasons?

I interpreted his comment as that the .30-30 is a good deer rifle, with the caution that 'you have to do your part', i.e. " Don't just grab a .30-30 and go blasting away; learn to shoot the gun first ..." I agree on the frustration with guys who just go and buy a mega-short, ultra-belted, ...

I'm gonna vote for the lee turret even though I don't have one right now. I have used one for many thousands of rounds and it worked great.

I guess I'm unAmerican but I've never had much interest in the 10-22s. They aren't "classics" (yet), but they ARE kind of " The AR-15's of the Rimfire World ". Lots of accessories, some degree of 'modularity', and despite being mass-produced, VERY good accuracy potential. I gues...
