I live within a 10 mile radius of Kershaw(Kai), Gerber, Benchmade, CRKT, Leatherman, etc. They ALL make good products. I prefer Benchmade. The ones I have "fit" me and fill their purpose. I can drive up to Oregon City and drop it off when it needs sharpening or service. They will sharpen a...

Isn't that Weaver a rimfire scope (RV7)? The Vortex is a centerfire.

I have several of the newer, higher end, Vortex PST scopes on AR's and have no issues.

I have several centerfire and rimfire Weavers also. No problems with them also.

I think Marlinman recommended these guys a while ago. They must be good if the backlog is up to 24 months.

Why is this bid up $20,000 more than it's market value? It sure isn't pristine or rare. It ain't my money, just curious as to why.

Snubby 22 mags have a VERY loud report and a VERY large fire ball. This will double that, so if you miss you might be able to light them on fire and deafen them (and you).

Remington bought Dakota Arms several years ago. Dakota Arms is now the "custom shop". They just add/change an OEM Marlin, with new cosmetics like wood. There's a link on the Marlin website for "custom" :D information and pricing. Since Remlin is no longer producing the 39A you ca...

Latest Rifleshooter has an article about Marlin Texan, 30-30, has some engraving, factory receiver sight. Even has some gold inlay. Yes, Marlin also started a custom shop after over a century of not having one! They bought Dakota Arms several years ago as their "custom shop". The only way...

Thanks! A year closer to retirement.

I bought myself a birthday gift this year. I sent (2 months ago) a s/s revolver back to S&W for some hand engraving. I gave them them my budget and they sent me examples of what they could do. I should have it back before the end of the year.

Family member, of someone I work with, was out Elk hunting recently and was stalked by TWO (yes 2) lions. He was aware enough to take out 1 before something bad happened, but the second took off. He reported it to WADFW, they came out and investigated, took the dead one, and confirmed what had happe...

Here's the spec's for all the "threadlockers".

Just don't use "Black Max" unless you absolutely never want it to be removed.....ever.

Thank you both. I appreciate the feedback. So the New Vaquero is more durable, but is the action any better. I'm not looking to compete, but I do want a decent trigger for a range gun. The NV's (and just Rugers in general) that I have handled had enough creep that it could be misconstrued as a facto...

jdad

Do any of you have personal experience with these? They appear to be a big step above Ruger and quite a bit more affordable than a USFA.

Thanks

You did well again.

I did a wheeling and dealing with Dave G. and brought a pretty nice S&W K22 (pre Model 17) home. Great show as usual.

Ruger isn't even comparable to what this is. Freedom Arms Premier Grade start at $2800.

I would be interested if it was offered in a different caliber. I only wish I bought a USFA when they were still in business.

I'm a commercial pest inspector and this is going to be a bad year for us in the Pac NW. There wasn't a normal deep freeze this last winter, to kill off a lot of the hibernating queens.

Vall, I think we do have hogs here in Oregon. :wink: Feral Swine Hunting in Oregon Feral swine are listed as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive species in Oregon.

Apples and Oranges A better comparison is the Ruger M4 and the S&W Victory. It also depends on the Ruger model, longer barrel = longer sight radius = potentially better accuracy. If you put a Tandemkross trigger into a Victory and a Volquartsen upgrade kit into a Ruger they are going to be fairl...

The FDA just approved a NEW shingles vaccine that you can get as young as 50. 2 shot vaccine. My doc is a day older than me and said we should both wait until mid summer after 1,000,000 or so people have had it just in case of side effects. His opinion is that this new one is a big winner.

jdad

All over the internet. Ebay, gunbroker, etc. Originals and repros. $25-$60

jdad

I've owned several over the years. Just about equivalent to a Winchester 61, but priced significantly less.

The vintage market has come way down. You can find some pretty nice ones in the $400-$500 range.

I remember going to the Reno show back in the late 1980's - early 1990's when that hotel was still the Reno HIlton. That was a REAL gun show back then.

Vall, Remember that since we have a CHL we automatically go to the top of the state NCIS check. I have never waited, at other shops, more than 10 minutes for approval, in the last 1.5 years.

You come here to ask for justification to ignore your surgeons opinion? I split my Labrum and tore my biceps tendon off, in a fall, several years ago.

The 455 has a pinned barrel that allows you to swap calibers. The 452 was a screwed in barrel and was caliber specific.

Here's their video detailing the change. http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-455-americ ... 5-rd-mags/

It's a Marlin 12R

That's an extra aperture screwed into the side knob.

Geez, I'm just a messenger. Actually, I won't go in one either.

I used to go to the original one as a kid when I lived in upstate NY. I don't remember going downstairs because the fishing department, to the left as you entered the store, fed my passion at the time.

This week, Dicks has a sale. If you buy the Marlin 1895/45-70, you get a Marlin Model 60 for free.

I tried another shooters 320 that had the "small" compact grip module. It's hard to imagine that the ergonomics could be improved by a fractionally smaller grip, but it really did. The hard part is finding "small" modules.

I have a 320 compact with the medium frame and a medium carry frame. The carry allows me to use the 17 and 21 round mags. Ergonomically it's a great pistol. Accurate also. Bad news is the drop issue is real. I tried and duplicated it easily, so I am going to send mine in for the "voluntary upgr...

What ammo were you shooting, jdad ? The reason I ask is, mine shoots similar groups with Federal Auto Match. This ammo was recommended by several CZ 452 owners on another forum.

I went to a gun shop on the other side of town because I heard they had some CZ 455's in stock. They had models I was interested in, but they were in every caliber other than 22LR.
