You don't need a laser to get the same results..
Just place the gun in/on a sturdy rest (even a cut out cardboard box will do), center the scope on the target, then move the cross hairs or the center of your previously-fired group.. Voila! !!

They were the bane of motorists' existence in Teton N. P., back in the day.. The roads were/are very narrow, and passing oncoming motor homes, while pulling a loaded 10 horse trailer could be dicey at best.. Add a cyclist or 2, who demanded an entire lane for themselves, and things could get pretty ...

... The .454 is said to be capable of pushing a 300 gr. bullet to 1700 fps. I just had a vision of that firearm bouncing off of my forehead... :shock: :lol: :lol: Dick Casual had it figured out decades ago.. He told me that after 50 rounds or so of the Real Stuff, most .454 shooters would gravitate...

Beautiful example.

My favorite '94 configuration..

Buck Elliott

Front sights on my 73 SRs are blades.. Rear sights are closer to the receiver than on 'standard' sporting rifles..

Buck Elliott

FWIW, I'm not all that fond of the 'venerated' .30 WCF either..., nor of the '94 Winchester..

Many of the features of the '94 came about out of the desire to cover Winchester's butt in the patent race..

Buck Elliott

The full sized '86 is just more gun than is needed for the scrawny little .444.. Browning ' s big levergun was designed for the bigger bodied, more robust cartridges of the day.. FWIW, my '86 Extra Light pitches hard cast 405s down range at around 1950 fps, with no real discomfort, and certainly no ...

I can see it all now... Round-butt that monster; cut the barrel back to a manageable 18" or so, and build a kydex IWB shuck for it, and PRACTISE A lot..! :D Fwiw, I did have the knowledge and expertise, and built a levergun around full power ,454 Casull ammo... for all the good it did me or the...

I believe I would have disassembled the gun before I slopped that much water and chemicals all over it.

Nothing Moss berg has produced in the last several decades is of any real interest to me.. Sorry, but they just don't get it.. Ref: their "tactard" levergun, for instance..

Seriously....?? Carrying the same ammo in your belt for 15 years or more sounds a bit extreme.. Better to shoot it, over time, and replace it with fresh stock.. I do have a small supply (maybe 250) of nickeled .45 cases that i use for belt carry. I've never had corrosion problems with the nickeled c...

I still have a couple bricks - and several boxes - of Remington .22 LR ammo my Uncle brought with him when he left Remington near the end of WWII. He was a chemical engineer, and worked on new priming compounds, which were loaded into small lots of rimfire ammo for testing.. Remington told him to ta...

I have an old wooden one (hard, close-grained maple, I believe), 16" long X 1 3/4" diameter at the large end, and gracefully rounded off.. The pointy end is pretty sharp, making it perfect for untying or untangling rope, cord, twine, &c..

I see that Old Ironpants is at it again, with self-contradicting, pseudo-libertarian rants, bushels of red herrings, and unanswered rhetorical questions..

If goats could be counted on to eat only the Noxious weeds, they may have some use.. That ain't gonna happen though.. Goats will eat Anything and Everything they can reach..

BTW, many forest areas are off-limits to both pack goats and llamas..

Buck Elliott

Why would I take animals into the back-country that would "eat the bark off trees", and can only pack 50-lb or less -- requiring at least 3 goats to pack as much as 1 horse..? Horses can be eaten too, if necessary, and taste a lot better than goat, IMO.. And the USFS takes a dim view of cr...

I "dry fire" several times per week, using snap caps the will cycle thru my leverguns, integrating the mechanics of the whole routine.. Same for my double shotgun and SA revolvers. A ZOOM snap caps are perfect for my use..

Yep... Glad to see that..

Rifle and shotgun shooting both naturally require an asymetric stance.. One shoulder and arm are naturally behind the other, at an angle, and the body turns to follow the lead of the forward arm.. The upper body is free to turn from the ankles, knees, hips or waist. Such a stance provides natural sk...

It wouldn't make any difference if the chamber was reamed deep enough for the .460 S&W... The .454 (along with the .460 and the .45 Colt) seat - or "headspace" - on the rim, at the chamber mouth.. FA .454 chambers are Basically cylindrical, but are tapered (.001" included, as I re...

Hard to believe one of the "Original Colonies" - especially one that figures so strongly in the birth of modern gun manufacture - could have fallen so far..
