Number 26 I wish we had that one here in the UK.

The Vet righted a wrong, end of story!

Oakland Airport might have been glad to have a few armed Marines around if some rag headed heathen had started something in the terminal building.

Welcome from the other side of the pond

gamekeeper

Rusty, You would probably have to!!

gamekeeper

YK A very good post

gamekeeper

I have had both. They are both great guns but I found the Winchester had a smoother action than the Marlin and was less fussy about ammo.

The Uberti is fun but not so smooth and misfires more than any rimfire I ever owned.

gamekeeper

I had a 9422M and found it way too much gun for squirrels and cotton tails but perfect on foxes.
I have recently bought a 9422 LR made in 1972 and it is perfect in every way!

gamekeeper

Lever-4-life, I like it, you may have something there

It's a shame that the Hornet can't be used in a tube mag. I would swop my CZ 527 FS tomorrow for a lever gun. Its a very useful round, especially in more built up areas. Perhaps someone might scale down a Win.95 or Savage 99 but that is just wishful thinking!

gamekeeper

Seems to me that while you are all taking the rancher for a fool for being honest no one has mentioned the "good ole boys" that balls'd up the shooting and then ran the wounded wolf over with an ATV !!!
Talk about a Cluster #*#*!!!

gamekeeper

Very well done, sounds like you and your Dad have had twentyfive years of excellence! Hears to many many more!

When I was a professional gamekeeper any vehicle which I thought belonged to poachers and I found parked near my estate had a tail light kicked in and the local police constable would give them a ticket for a defective vehicle. It was not always possible to pin a poaching charge on them. Small beer ...

gamekeeper

Great picture, interesting history!

gamekeeper

Leverluver, Good point I've never fired a 71 carbine or rifle so I didn't know about how much they kicked. Anyway the rifle is for hunting more than looking at!

gamekeeper

We hung Dick Turpin years ago but here in the UK we still have to jump through hoops to own and shoot a flint lock!

But the Bad Guys can still get Glocks and Uzi's

gamekeeper

My early Uberti 73 has started to show a slight plum color and I'm thinking of rebluing due to the fact the previous owner managed to scratch just about every part of the gun so bad it looks like it was used at The Little Big Horn!

gamekeeper

B-lever,
Yes, I too would be reluctant to drill such a fine rifle in case I did not get on with the tang sight.

gamekeeper

Fantastic display of western art. Better than some museums!!

gamekeeper

You guys crack me up, do you seriously mean non of you dress like that to go hunting??

gamekeeper

Nice looking rifle and I bet it will shoot just fine.

But did you not consider a Tang Sight on that particular rifle?

gamekeeper

Hell guys, I sometimes have enough trouble getting ignition with a FLINT!!!

Don't listen to kimwcook, she looks like a vacation over here in the UK would do her more good!!

gamekeeper

WOW, I love the photos of the 71 and the truck.

gamekeeper

What a load of old "Cods Wallop" unfortunatley England is already full of such do gooders.

I hope every one who hunts or goes fishing in the USA takes a "newbie" out once in a while.

gamekeeper

Ditto what kimwcook and hanz said!!!

gamekeeper

Great story and great photos, The last one looks a bit to close for comfort to me, hope it was a telephoto lens!!

gamekeeper

If anyone is interested in this rifle you can get the details on guntrader.co.uk

gamekeeper

I had one of the German made rifles, same design but no plastic bits.
It was accurate and very smooth. if I hadn't just bought a Win.9422 I would definitely buy a Henry. (still might)

gamekeeper

Saw a Hopkins & Allen for sale at Â£220 it was called the "Junior" the saddle ring? was on the right hand side. no idea what the bore is like. http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc145/cabelas1987/070324135502005-2.jpg http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc145/cabelas1987/070324135502005...

Beautiful old rifle, fancy selling such a faithful old family friend! Glad it's gone to a better home!

I also like the WW11 Gas Mask bag, I used one to carry my lunch in for years. can't find them anymore.

gamekeeper

Done.

gamekeeper

Prayers sent.

gamekeeper

Sorry Bruce I can't help from the UK but I've bumped your post back up

gamekeeper

Powerful speach. Brilliant justice!
Nath, I couldn't agree more, we need this sort of common sense in the UK.

gamekeeper

I used to smoke a cherry wood pipe! Don't know how many you could get out of an 8 ft log??

gamekeeper

Jason_W I have heard reports that the Winchester Wildcat is quite a tack driver like the TOZ 78 its based on. However if you want a good reliable .22 find a Winchester 9422 made in the USA and a "good lookin'" rifle too!!

gamekeeper

Being from the other side of the pond I suppose I shouldn't really reply. But I find this post fascinating! I can see now, how brother could fight brother in the War of Northern Aggression. It's good that so many of you care enough to debate this argument. Here in the UK apathy rules and we get poli...

Cimmaron sell the 66 & 73 in 32-20 I just wish they would chamber the 92 range in this calibre too! As you say Pretty cool!!

gamekeeper

Fantastic photo's how lucky to be there with a camera!!
As for the debate about the "big bad wolf" how sad it would be to live and hunt in a land where there is no room for Wolves. I know, I live and hunt in such a place!

gamekeeper

Howdy Nath, Great post, glad you like the fourten for squirrels (sorry I ment Squirls)As a kid I started with a single shot fourten so tightly choked it grouped rather than patterned. But it still got me into hunting and I've never looked back!

gamekeeper

If they make a decent "steel" levergun in 30/30 I hope they follow it up with a decent 32/20 too!!

cas, Thanks for the tip.
They seem expensive for what they are but I may try one just out of curiosity.

If I can get a Williams WGRS guide receiver sight I'll try that too!

I know if my eye sight fades any more I will just have to put the "carrying handle" back on!!

gamekeeper

My eye sight ain't what is was and I thought I might try a "oneraggedhole" rear sight on my 9422. I don't wish to d&t the receiver or put the carrying handle it came with back on! Has any one tried this sight and is it any good? it seems simple to install but I don't know if an apertur...

Here in the UK Grey Squirrels are classed as vermin, so NO close season or bag limits. Red Squirrels are scarce and so protected by law. I have been an avid Squirrel hunter for 48 years and still enjoy hunting squirrels more than most other game. I use a 3 shot bolt action .410 or a .22LR Now I have...

I have two and found them quick and easy to use and carry.
