Petey....If the gun fits and you know where it shoots you will be fine.

Shooting a short barreled gun puts you behing the 8 Ball right off the get go. Distance has nothing to due with barrel length. A longer sight plane, and extra weight most definatley do. If you ever do any serious Trap shooting you will find that even a light shotgun becomes a handicap mostly...

Most new shooters cant appreciate a SXS , mostly because they never shot one and have been weened on todays O/U's, pumps. or auto's. Not their fault! The SXS today has become a high priced specialy item, because of trending. Your desire to own a SXS with fixed chokes at a reasonable price...

To answer your question on drift sights. Hawkens(originals ) had adjustable sights........but not as you know them today. The originals had a blade front sight driftable and rear V or buckhorn. To adjust the front you had to file the sight down and drift it either way (L or R) The rear sight...

What is with factory shell prices? Everytime you turn around the price goes up again. Is it lead or gold packed into those shells? The best prices in this region for 12Ga. target loads is $60. a case at present. That case jumped from $50. in 3 months. I've considered reloading many times ...

Didnt mean to start a new thread ....see my post about your question

All examples I have seen from historical photos dating back to 1823 (flint) show the hawken with double set triggers and rear drift type sights.

MUCH SENSE TO WHAT ARMED SAYS. God , I hate berettas.......lol Dont let anybody tell you what model to buy. Like the above poster said..shoot some, swing some, and continue to get opinions. In the long run your the one that has to be happy with the choice..good or bad

Had to jump in .........Have both ....cheap and not so cheap. IMO , it all depends on what you want to use the gun for and how much it will be shot. Cheap Example: Mossberg silver reserve....very limited use on the skeet range and maybe a bird hunt once a year. I've put maybe 1500 rounds...

For $1400 in todays shotgun world your not likely to find the un-common gun. You will however find some pretty nice common ones. I personally like Brownings, but (I think Armed metioned) the Winchester select energy (IMO) is one of the best buys on the market today and if you look carefully you...

Just thought of another good flick...."the mountain men" with Charlton Heston and Brian Keith.. loading from a horn, false muzzles ,& shootin ramrods .

Check out the movie "Pale Rider" with Clint Eastwood and him changing cylinders on his remington. Great flick!

Hi-Viz magnet mount ..comes with different color lites. I like the Green, but you may chose whatever you like. Mine stay put on the rib and have had no problems.

Anybody know of any shops offering pedersoli jager? They list it on their site , but their distributors listed dont seem to offer it?

Way back when......I removed a breech on a hooked breech rifle (never want to do it again) Reason dry ball, unable to get out with puller or powder. Took a 24 inch pipe wrench and about a 6ft lever and when it broke loose it sounded like a shot. Got the ball out, aligned the plug with sucess...

Macmac......chambers is near gettysburg. As for your choices........Next to a long rifle the Jaeger would be my choice , although i'd opt for something in 54 cal..........also consider a fowler smoothbore..lots of options with those . If we only had an unlimited budget........

Macmac.........The gun pictured is a TVM (tenn. Valley Mfg.) Pa. Iron mounted long rifle. It was a semi custom built. When I originally bought this rifle it had a barrel legnth of 42". I further customized it by cutting the barrel length to 36" reshaping the frontal area and re-installing the...

I'll 2nd Dixon's (that's why I asked where you lived). I imagine Dixon's in Berks Co. is quite a ways from you though? I owned a Great Plains (Lyman) and took my 1st BP deer with it. But it is hawken style and it sounds you want a long rifle. I now shoot a 36" .50 cal Pa. rifle and for me...

Still a little confused. I read what I could per AA airlines. It doesnt say ammo must be carried seperate. It also says multiple cases can be checked. I'd like to put all the suff in one box if possible looking at having to switch planes and the possibility of lost stuff. Let me ask a real...

Can anybody tell me what the present situation is with transporting ammo. I am aware of transporting the guns, but can you put ammo with it? Or do you transport seperate? What's the scoop?......Thanks in advance
