    Ruger Single Action .45LC for back country gun?

    Reminds me, I saw a video of a hunt in Africa in which the hunter was armed with a borrowed .41 Blackhawk. A leopard(?....large spotted cat anyway)was cornered in some rocks.

    Marlin 1895CB questions

    When these were first introduced, did they have the rectangular bolt, or were they always the round bolt? Is one stronger than the other, or is it just cosmetic? I glanced at a used one last weekend. Looked ok, had some 'pedestrian grade' scope with "see through" rings for $575. The jones...

    Giving away my Wilson

    Protector to my cousin who recently graduated basic at Ft Sill, and I think is at Ft Bliss for AIT. I'll probably be sending it back to Wilson Combat for new springs and finish in the next week or so, and got to thinking... Should I have them leave the night sights on there, or change them...

    Rifled Barrels

    I rememeber reading about the straight grooved Hasting barrel. I don't remember what it was supposed to do, but it sounded good on paper. I do recall someone's test, and there was no significant difference.
