    .45 colt hunting carbine

    OP, I too wanted a .45 lc Lever gun to match my saddle gun (.45lc Vaquero, and while I am a huge Winchester fan, I finally chose a Henry for the reputation. Once sighted in, (within 10 rds.) I yearned to see how it performed on game, and the first shot out of it took my 2014 management...

    Savage Model 93 BTVS Magnum

    Thanx all, the ammo availability is not an issue as I have a supply due to having 2 .22 mag revolvers. This will be my next purchase, after reading comments, might not go with the silencer, seems it is hardly noticeable. Should be fun!!

    Savage Model 93 BTVS Magnum

    Thinking of a accurate "pest exterminator" and as a shooter for fun. Like the reviews of this rifle. Decided against a Henry as think a bolt action with my Leupold MK II 3x9 would be the ticket. A couple questions for those that have shot/own this gun; 1- Can a silencer be fitted on this...

    Question About Win Model 70 Pre-64

    I see what you are saying, I got the impression jmr40 referred that as a "shooter" the new M70's are more accurate, etc. For price's paid for both, yes I would agree the new ones are beautiful and accurate, I would not hesitate to buy one if I wanted a new rifle.

    Question About Win Model 70 Pre-64

    I find that hard to believe, but have wondered myself how the new .M70 supergrade's would compare with my pre-64 Supergrade that has put 5 out of 5 in the same hole off a bench and bags at 100 yds. Could match it I suppose, but their isn't anything "better" than 5 out of 5. Not knocking the...

    Question About Win Model 70 Pre-64

    hotajax, here are the pictures of my .270 Supergrade, it was made in 1957, was re-done once by my father who is now failing in health. It is my heirloom, he bought it in 1961 from a doctor for $120 and had only had 5 rounds fired. Together, my father and I have probably shot 500 rounds thru...

    Elk Hunting

    And there-in is my point. Kudo's for you on your .25-06 success. I still say 400 yds (ON A BULL ELK) with your .25-06 is not the right thing for a newbie Elk hunter. However, I doo see where you say cow or small bull up to 400, I suppose that has a better chance for an ethical and quick kill...

    Elk Hunting

    Sorry boys, but IMHO, your support of either of these calibers for BP's intended quarry (Elk) is miss-leading if not plain poor advice. Will these 2 calibers do the job, sure, but are below ethical & humane killing power as a minimum for Elk in both general hunting conditions & animal...

    Should I stick with my 25-06 or step up to a 270 for a future Mule Deer Hunt?

    Excellent advice.

    Should I stick with my 25-06 or step up to a 270 for a future Mule Deer Hunt?

    Lots of good advice, but your responses clearly indicate you are jones-ing for a new rifle and you are excited about a .270. Get one. :cool::D:D I have lived in Idaho for 42 years, lots of mule deer hunting, and while there are reply examples to the contrary, a 100 gr. bullet is too light...
