Many of those Ruger's had mis fire problems, I don't think Ruger ever got the bugs out of them. They were too heavy too, I had a few of them and with the problems and weight I didn't like them.... DM

My old double is a Remington my dad bought in the 40's for ten dollars... It's put tons of meat in our freezer since then! DM

Henry already does that, in 357 mag... A revolver and lever rifle. DM

Too bad Browning had no idea on how to properly regulate them, and those "lookers" were so poorly regulated. DM

I owned a Krieghoff that had the "cocking slide" and it did of course take more effort than a sliding safety, but it wasn't a big deal and could easily be gotten used to. Actually, I like the idea. The REAL question is, if you fire one bbl. and then open the action to reload THAT bbl., does...

It says it's "JS", if so, it's not a rimmed cartridge, personally I wouldn't want it... Also, it's single trigger, another mark against it, no thanks for sure... DM

That's why I voted "other". DM

375 brass is much stronger through the web over 30-30 and I'd be surprised if the Buckhammer isn't too, as they both work with higher pressures than the 30-30. DM

Anschutz! May as well start out with something really good. DM

I would thoroughly clean the bore and THEN try different brands of ammo in it, DM

On a charging bear, if you don't hit the CNS with a .458, it doesn't do any better job than a properly loaded 30-06. IF you do hit the CNS, either one works just fine, DM

12 ga./30-06, I shot three nice bulls with it that day. It's very accurate, Over the years, it's put a lot of meat in my freezer. DM

Here's another vote for the 360 Buckhammer! DM

I just used a primer and reversed the pellet flush with the case mouth. I've had several Hornets, never liked any of them including a really nice Winchester 54, so chambered. DM

"Properly loaded" anything from a 30-06 on up is a great rifle and cartridge for Alaska and master bear guide Phil Shoemaker always agreed with me, I settled on the .338-06 and over all the years I lived and hunted in Alaska, I never felt underguned hunting big bears, or taking anyone else...
