Just looked up the Henry's --- sheesh , now i want one too - IF (maybe still a big if) - i could get one close to MSRP . I'll take the case hardened version myself please ! Someone mentioned looking around for a used Browning 1886 though - if you dont have to have new , that would be a very very goo...

. I almost got an 1886 reproduction, but I had a little bit more money and decided to splurge on a Big Horn Armory 1889 in 500 S&W just for the fact that I could get a carbine style levergun about the same weight and heft as a Marlin Guide Gun (and shorter than my ‘little’ Marlin 1894), with a ...

Timely discussion It wasnt 2 or 3 months ago that i purchased an engraved Python (new production) and soundly proclaimed that it may be my last significant firearms purchase for a good long while. My interest in shooting, and especially reloading had been waning and prior to that i had mostly just b...

Well we survived the night! The first few days are kind of tenuous for puppy survival. Moms sleeping on them, they move off and get cold( newborns can't regulate body temp), the list goes on.

Awesome! And I can relate to your comment about the oil because I am a DIYer.

I actually don’t think it looks that bad, however it would look a lot better if it was $400 as has been said. There’s a lot of very worthy competition in the thousand dollar price point.

i'll offer a counterpoint and state that i dont really like to reload a heckuva lot. I'm spread too thin with many other aspects of life and have been for quite some time.

I just installed the Wilson Combat rear sight on mine this week. I haven't shot it yet, but wow! A vast improvement. While the factory sight is ok, it is definitely the weakest link in the new Pythons IMO. Adjustments are too fussy, and while it may retain zero fine (as my example did), I found it ...

So, it sounds like a cheaper Single Six more so than an upgraded wrangler. I Sold my single six convertible a few years ago.
