Griff, so sorry to hear of your loss. Prayers said for you and family.

The 1886 is my favorite rifle, but I don't care for either the CCH or the wood on the pictured example.

claybob86

If it shoots as good as it looks, you'll get one-hole groups!

claybob86

That was interesting. The shadow came on from west to east, then moved back off to the west, from where it came, instead of moving straight across like I would have expected. After the fact, I understand this, just didn't expect it beforehand.

claybob86

Pretty darn good at it too!

Welcome to the forum, Roger!

Somebody will be along to answer you question.

Me too, that really cracked me up!

Rock Chucker is the only reloading press I've ever used. Fine for reloading, but it won't chuck rocks.

claybob86

Looks nice!

Wish they wouldn't etch those QR codes or whatever they are onto guns, though.

claybob86

Ouch!

I would fix it (or get it fixed) and put a note under the butt plate saying what happened and where and when, for historical purposes.

claybob86

Beautiful wood. The gold horse and rider doesn't bother me, but the gold trigger does. Overall, a very nice looking rifle, and I'm glad Remington is interested enough in the Marlin brand to produce it.

claybob86

... I think for my first one I just want the most classic, all around lever action. Maybe a Winchester 30-30 or the Marlin 1894 44mag. Couldn't go wrong with either one. I will say, however, that having both, the Marlin 1894 44Mag would be my choice if I could only have one of them. I can't really ...

I do that too.

After those years of seeing NO .22s on the shelves, I just like to see them there even if I'm not buying.

I've reached the metallic age. Silver in my hair, gold in my teeth and lead in my azz!

Prayers said for Mrs. Griff, Mr. Griff and family!

claybob86

Congratulations to Rusty, Jr.! He does a difficult job in a difficult environment and does it well. I admire people like that.

claybob86

Fine looking rifle! You were very good to yourself for Christmas!

claybob86

We don't know what happened to him. He's always been like that.

Sorry, Blaine, I couldn't resist!

claybob86

That certainly has a unique look! Trying to visualize how that stock would look on stainless.

claybob86

Prayers said.

I think I just became a Chet Atkins fan!

Those are some real works of art!

claybob86

Neat stuff!

I bet the .500 Nitro Express doesn't hurt a bit when you have a face full of something that wants to kill you!

Mmm... the fact that the government already owned millions of them collecting dust? Why buy new 94's?

Key word is "government"!

Also, when I said I didn't want opinions I meant something like, "Go buy a Marlin." or some such. No offense intended.

You won't see much of that here, it's a nice place!

Welcome to the forum and looking forward to the pictures.

claybob86

Sounds nice, I like the old Smiths. Now where's the pictures?

claybob86

Welcome aboard from Colorado!

claybob86

Always glad to see you here. Happy Thanksgiving!

Prayers said, Jay.

Depends on the person...

Voted this morning!

I know two guys that I would trust with my life, never mind my stuff. They can borrow or have any of it they want. (I feel blessed to have a couple of friends like that) That said, I don't have any loaner firearms, but there are a few guys on this forum I'd loan what I have to, but those few probabl...

That's some beautiful work there, Chuck!

That's all there is to it!

claybob86

Great photos and story! Thanks!

claybob86

Kind of a crappy experience for the daddy!

claybob86

I only kill the venomous types. Shotguns, hoes, shovels and bricks, whatever's handy. All non-venomous snakes are welcome here!

claybob86

Very nice!

claybob86

Welcome aboard, David! Good lookin' rifle!

Thank you!

claybob86

That's a real beauty! Glad it found a good home.

claybob86

Sounds like a good product. I just ordered one too.

claybob86

Seems to be OK now.

claybob86

Welcome back!

Rusty. If you're gonna say something like that, you MUST post pictures.

Seriously, congratulations to Rusty, Jr., his new wife and you and rest of family!

claybob86

Good to see you back on here!

claybob86

Nice! If you work it over with a little steel wool, it'll look like it belongs there!
