I know someone who has one of the older Mossberg 30-30s. Its a good shooting gun and as accurate as the Marlins they were modeled after. I also had one of the Marine Cote Trapper Mossbergs. It was a very nice gun. I never shot it and sold it for a profit and now wish I still had it. I don't...

Even the most pointy 9mm rounds are not pointy enough to set off a primer. I did that experiment once a long time ago. I drilled a hole in my workbench to hold a 30-30 case and dropped a primed case in the hole. Then I took a Remington 150gr Spitzer and held it with pliers against the primer and...

I ran into that on the Marlin owners forum when I posted about my new Rossi R95 lever action. One guy said he would buy it right now if they were just made in stainless steel. So I posted a link to the laminate stock SS version and he came right back and changed to "he would buy one if it was...

Ammoseek has 243 starting at 0.67 cents a round and .270 starting at 0.74 cents per round. The 7-08 all started at over a buck a round. Thats why I was hesitant to recommend it unless you reload. I have been reloading for 7-08 and 243 for so long I don't remember what I paid for the components...

I hope so. The other 1873s I looked at started around $1600 and went up from there. And they were all out of stock. I would love an 1873 in 44/40 but not bad enough to spend well over a thousand bucks for one.

Nice but for $2100.00 I will have to pass.

Screw it. I had a snarky reply but in the end you aren't worth arguing with. The thread was about a round for women a young people to shoot. Not about whatever wonder round is up and coming. Adios.

I can only go by what I see on the shelves at Atwoods and Academy and Walmart if I even bother looking at their ammo selection. Maybe the 6.5 will take over the world and the 243s will be sold for scrap. Who knows? I know several who own 243s and 6mm Remington but don't know a single person who...

I will vote for the 7-08. Its around that can grow with the shooter to be used against bigger game. I got involved with a high school youth hunt because on of the hunters is a close family friend. A 15YO girl at the time that stands 5'1". I let her use my Remington model 7 in 7-08. I handload...

I looked on GB in the advanced search and only found one of the HK model 10s still in the sold listings. That gun sold for $510 and came in a blue S&W box and looked like new money. I wish I had of bid a little harder. I don't see anymore being listed. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1040420815

I have owned 3 of those Taurus model 82s and they were all fine guns that shot to the sights. The frame is just slightly larger than a K-Frame and there is no barrel flat on the barrel extension. They are a heavy duty model 10 with heavy barrel and the price is right on them. I have also owned...

There were several of these on GB just a few weeks ago. All from the same seller. I kept bidding but got outbid. They sold for a lot less than that Frugate arms price. I had a RHKP many years ago that was pretty beat up and was missing the lanyard. I paid $200 for it. And sold it after a bit. I...

I like the 686 but like the 586 better. But I like the model 19 best of all. I DO NOT like full underlugs. Too friggin' heavy and unneeded. I don't have a model 19 but do have a 4" Ruger Security Six blued that I dearly love. Its everything the model 19 is and doesn't have the supposed weakness...

I am sure the Henry's are Marlin 336 copies in the action set up. One big difference is the hammer and trigger on the Henry. There is no half cock. The Henry uses a sliding bar that is trigger raised so it can hit the firing pin. The trigger has to be pulled for the bar to rise just like other...

OKay here are some pics of the new sights and the scope installed. I am about 90% satisfied with the set up. I had to still use High Rings to clear the rear sight. But it shoulders fine and you can get a semi cheek weld. I think I may still just get a folding Marbles sight and put back on it and...

The 45-70 is a good round. Do you remember the 2 part article in Rifle Magazine where Brian Pearce took a 45-70 to Africa? He shot one Cape Buffalo and the round penetrated so well it killed a second unseen Cape Buffalo standing behind it. The gun and round made a great close range gun for those...

Yep prices ain't what they used to be. And neither is your money. The dollar has lost so much value I'm surprised you don't need a wheelbarrow full of cash to buy a weeks worth of groceries. But even if a gun seems expensive just remember you are buying a tool that with reasonable care will lasy...

I forgot to ask. Does your barrel have a drilled and tapped hole just behind the sight notch in the barrel? Mine does and I'm not sur what its for unless its to mount a picatinny rail or a scout scope base.

Loonwolf I don't have a trigger gauge but my trigger is much better than I expected. Matter of fact it surprised me with how crisp and easy the pull was. I like it and won't be changing it. Of course actually using it from the bench may change my views. I have my sight problem fixed. I had a...

No the Rossi has a .375 dovetail. I found a Marbles shorty flat top sight I had bought a while back and installed that and it fit right in the dovetail. I showed a picture of the rear sight on this gun and it is nothing like that. Frankly a rar sight like that would bug me even more than the...
