Go to the bank and take out a loan. You're talking about good lever actions here.

Rob Leahy seems happy with his.

Only a dusting of snow for us, and no wind. The temperature is sitting at thirty two below zero, Fahrenheit and could get a little colder tonight.

My wife has been over at her school for the past 3 hours getting ready for the coming week. She woke up a couple days ago and she'd dreamt all night about her noisy, talkative, misbehaving second graders.

That is one non descript looking 22 rifle. If I were to see it for sale somewhere, it probably wouldn't even get a second glance from me. It's certainly worthy of attention, but I would just think it was another old bolt action .22 rifle.

I bought this book about a year ago, Sixgun. It is excellent reference material. I did find a round that wasn't included though, but I can't remember what it was. I think it was the 416 Remington Magnum. It might have been 8mm Remington Magnum though.

AkRay

I got one in nearly new condition in the box in 22 magnum this summer for $150.00. I just took it out and shot it some this evening. I'm starting to get the hang of it, and putting some rounds on target. It does take some getting used to with the skimpy little stocks.

AkRay

I think in keeping with the short and handy theme that I should find a receiver sight for this one. I've never added a receiver sight to a Winchester bolt action before, so I don't really know what model or make of sight to look for. Do any of you have any suggestions?

I bought this made in Canada, by Cooey/Winchester-Western bolt action yesterday. This one is chambered in 30-06, holds 4 or 5 rounds in the blind magazine, has an 18" bbl, and open sights. The rear is like the fold down rear on a Ruger 10/22. The wood stock is held to the receiver with 2 screws...

Prudhoe Bay is an 11 or 12 hour drive from Fairbanks, up the Dalton Highway. Coldfoot is the last place to buy gas or tires or vehicle repair until you get there. It's the end of the road, and there's nowhere else to go once you reach Deadhorse. Prudhoe Bay is also off limits to the general public, ...

This article in today's Fairbanks Daily News Miner has to do with the SF impersonator in this original post. He seems to get around and cause trouble for people.

You guys just confirmed what I already knew. Christine likes the rifle and brought it with her today when she took our younger son berry picking. "I forgot my rifle in the car" is what she said when she saw me carrying a rifle through the living room. "Oh, I mean your rifle," whi...

I helped a friend out by buying his Marlin 1894CS in 357 mag/38 Spec. last week. I told my wife about it, and she said since it had been his wife's gun that it sounded like a girl's gun. I let her shoot it today and she hit her targets, said it didn't have much recoil at all, and was just her size. ...

Gary Reeder is a first rate guy. Just this past week he held an auction on his website and sold a gun of his own with some of his custom mods to help a guy who is in serious financial straits. The man just posted that he was about to lose everything, and within a week Gary had the auction. All of th...

Hi Grizz. You got it right. No Blacktails here since I live in Interior Alaska, Fairbanks to be exact. It would be fun to find them in the areas I hunt, but that's not possible. The main big game animals in this immediate area are moose and the occasional black bear. Grizzlies seem to be making grea...

thought about switching case? if you want to stick to a single case, lower is better I don't know about that. I know that all caps is how one yells on the internet, but I found Murbach's post much easier to read than any of the others. I'm at the point where I have to take my glasses off to read cl...

I know another reason. When August rolls around and it's time to get out and pick blueberries, everyone wants some including the bears. The possibility of bears is always there anyway. This will be a good one to bring along. While it might not be the first choice for hunting them, for busting a bear...

AkRay

I have to put my question in a context. What is a 30-30 good for? Most of what walks around the woods here is big. The moose are big, the bears can be big, and when it's not big it's usually far away. I remember looking over the factory sights of a different Model 94 at a black bear that was out pas...

Did you type all that off the top of your head, Kid Cossack? What a remarkable reply, and one that only a man with a deep and thorough understanding of the subject could write. My hat is off to you, Sir!

I bought a Winchester Model 94 today, mostly because I haven't had one for a number of years, and one in decent shape came along for $275.00. I came home and checked my ammo supply and it turns out I still had a box and a half of factory ammo. The rifle cycles, fires and ejects the way it should, an...

I hope it turns out to be more reliable than the Grendel P-30. The one I had experience with was a piece of jammish junk.

I got broke by buying guns though so the story has a happy ending. I found a Marlin Guide Gun in the classified ads of the local paper. It was the standard version with the ported barrel, but the owner had added a WIld West Guns bear proof ejector and had had the gun plated with hard chrome or elect...

You're right jebb45. I remember the Kodiak double, and they do go for about that price. The Valmet over and under rifles are in that range too. When I think double rifle though, I think side by side and in big calibers. That's what threw me.

AkRay

I'm wondering where a guy would find a double rifle for from 1400 to 3000 dollars. I don't think I've ever seen them.

I sold mine about 15 years ago and have been kicking myself ever since. I used mine for snowshoe hares, spruce and ruffed grouse, and it was a great rifle. I thought it would be easy to replace, but it hasn't worked out yet. My friend Stan once shot through a small spruce tree, about 5" in diam...

My friend Mark uses his old Model 70 375 H&H as his primary moose rifle. He switched from a 7mm magnum because that one's combination of high speed lightweight small diameter slug made the meat too bloodshot.

AkRay

It sure sounds interesting to me.

Or possibly, the "S" Frame.

Looks nice, Sixgun. I bet it'll be a great shooter. A friend of mine sold a very nice blue pre-27 last year for $700.00. The poor guy has been downsizing his great collection to pay for running water in his house. In addition, he bought his guns on credit and ran the bill up pretty high, so his wife...

Wow! jengel, if I promise to give up a good moose hunting spot, and tell you where to find good fishing, would you please move your gun store to Fairbanks, AK? We have the big box stores that sell guns now, which don't really count and 2 smaller real gun stores, but we need a nice big one like yours.

Is this a second generation or third generation gun? It does sound like one of those deals of a lifetime.

You should go to the Wasilla gun show, where the show is held in the halls, commons and gym of the local high school. Or, come to the Fall or Spring Gun Show at the Patty Gym, which is held on the UAF campus. It's cool to see people walking out of the doors carrying a gun they bought inside, or walk...

I owned a Hawes Chief Marshal until the mainspring broke. This was in the late 80s or so and I had a hard time finding a replacement spring in those pre internet days. As soon as I located one from Gun Parts Corp. I sold it, because I didn't want to break the gun again. I put the proceeds and a litt...

Check the source of the video: ebaumsworld.com Their web site says "funny videos, funny pictures, flash games, jokes." Methinks that indicates this is a couple of guys making a video and not an actual robbery.

I can't afford to buy one right now. I just thought it was a very neat idea.

I was in a store last night and the salesman showed me a BLR Takedown. The one I looked at was in 450 Marlin, but they're chambered in several other calibers. It broke right at the front of the receiver, and looked like it would make a very handy package. After holding both halves at the counter and...

When I was in jr. high my friend Stan and I hunted snowshoe hares with air rifles, mostly because his parents wouldn't trust us to hunt alone together with .22 rifles or shotguns. I used a Crosman .177. With a pellet the velocity must've been somewhere in the upper 400 fps. It killed some of the har...

I'm not sure, but given the time of the year, and the resolutions thing, I think that might be part of the reason you're thinking along these lines. When I was younger I used to get depressed and down on myself around this time of year, looking back at the entire past year as a time of missed opport...

These Heritage guns might work okay, but I've never been disappointed when I've spent more and bought a higher quality gun from one of the major manufacturers. Buy a Colt or Ruger rimfire single action and you won't be disappointed. You might have to wait longer to buy it, but you will be proud to k...

If you had gotten this one, you'd have an even more useless debate about should I shoot this or just stick it in the safe?

If it grosses you out too much, donate the deer to a church or charity or soup kitchen in your area. Otherwise, just use the rest of the meat as you normally would.

Whenever I hear Sean Connery's name, I remember the line, "Remember Dunblane!", uttered to encourage the disarming of the law abiding gun owners of the U.K. I've enjoyed his work in the movies, particularly "The Untouchables," but I can't support that sentiment.
