plus, It's un-American not to own a -06.

Pork Fat - that was discussed earlier, maybe in a different thread, and is the reason I gave up on the revolver. From my previous experience with Smith's I would need at least 100 clips. That's $500 plus shipping. I'll stick to my .44 Kodiak Backpacker and .45 ACP Birdshead Vaquero.

my everything rifle - "Thumper" .358 Frontier rifle w/Nikon 1-4x.

I decided to choose between the two also recently. I've owned many Smiths over the years but was never enamored to the L frame. I did like the K frames. The only L frame I ever cared for was a 696. Likewise, I never cared much for the balance of a GP100. I had a 3" at one time but it didn't...

Here's my Ruger Guide Gun (30-06) with a Nikon 2-8x Monarch 3. Great combination although I never shoot it set at over 6x. These are Ruger 3 & 4 rings which the factory swapped me for my 4 & 5 stainless rings. I sight in 2.75" high at 100 yds and can hold dead on out to my MPBR of 270 yds...

I tried a scout scope on my Ruger Frontier rifle and did not like. I am much faster with both eyes open thru my Nikon Monarch 1-4x at 1 power and at 4 power it works well for any distance I will shoot. I put a 2-8x Nikon on my backup 30-06 (Guide gun.) For my hunting style and range work I find...

Browning BLR stainless takedown in .358 Win. Deer, Elk, Hogs and whatever else. plus this.

The Leupold 6x has long been a favorite scope of mine, but...I don't think it will be a good choice for a .375 Ruger. The very nature of that rifle would limit me to a 4x if I required a fixed scope. I do prefer a fixed scope but don't have one mounted on my 35 Whelen Guide Gun (a rebored...

Comp-Tac Infidel. Most efficient and comfortable kydex I've found. I like leather but have never found any as comfortable as this. I have to think whether I have my G30S on or not. Quick on and off also.

new project Hello, For some time I have been thinking about adding a "bean field" 30-30 to go with my 336SS Ltd .35 woods gun. I envisioned something like a 336 Cowboy 30-30 or something like the current blued version of the .308 Marlin Express. I really didn't want the .308 although...

Hmmm...glockman19, must be you.:)

Nope, Leupold has a line of compact scopes. I think it's currently this one, a 2-7x, and a 3-9x. They used to have a 4x compact, and I believe a 6x compact. There are still 4x's to be had used. It's a good little scope, too. Actually, the regular 4x and 2-7x work well on a 20" bbl or longer...

Nem - It's an older Leupold M8 2.5x compact. The current model probably has better multicoating and is called the FXII 2.5x compact, I believe. It is a popular scope on dangerous game rifles. I think it's just about the right balance between power and compactness for a 18.5" lever rifle...

If in good condition I would jump on it.

336SS Ltd before & after Hello, Earlier posts (#s 848,854,856) got me thinking. Now that I'm on part 2b and drawing my "old age pension", as my Mom used to call it, my eyes could stand a little assistance in the woods. I did a little change up by taking my XS sights off and putting on my...
