Worked as a hog hunting guide for years. Kept one of these two in the toolbox of my truck for years. First the SKS, then the marlin. - SKS - Russian, Tula made in 1949 (it had that stock on it when I got it) I have had a bunch of SKS's, this one is way more accurate than any other I have owned...

I am getting 1080fps with 200gr SWC's, from a 6" without pushing it too hard. You should be able to get that with most powders if you step down to 200gr

Thanks for the replies! I am pretty proud.

She used my lever action .357, with a red dot sight. We are both pretty stoked. Ammo was 158gr SWC handloads. Dropped her in one shot .

Nice! Even better if she was actually there because she likes guns too, but cool either way...

Mossberg MVP? Even takes AR-15 mags. Don't have any first hand experience, I've been watching for one to come up for sale around where I live.

You have to know the going rate for stuff, and what is a deal and what is not. I saw lots of good deals yesterday. - A Taurus 1911 that my buddy negotiated down to $375,and then couldn't buy because the ATM at the gunshow had been removed on sunday - A pretty damn nice lee enfield with a rock...

I have taken many hogs with a lever action .357. With 158gr SWC it is deadly medicine and is pushing 30-30 velocity and power. However, the .357 out of a handgun is only marginal on hogs. The .44 is better on hogs out of a handgun, but it's trajectory falls off pretty fast compared to the .357...

Even the red cross recommends keeping a 72 hour emergency kit on hand. At it's core that is basically what we are talking about, but one that is mobile. I keep a Ruger Single Six and a box of .22 hp's in my "72 hour emergency kit" bag. This is not a replacement of my normal CCW sidearm, but a...

I have both. I have a Ruger Single Six stainless and a Heritage .22 There is no doubt the ruger is the better gun, BUT whether it is the better value depends on what you are looking to do with it. If all you want is something to shoot cans or paper with, every once in a while - it doesn't make...

Poserhoser, I inherited it from my grandpa, it is a hair over 18"

I have a double barrel, sawed off .410 that I have killed MANY rattlesnakes with around my ranch. I have not found anything that works better.

Keltec PMR-30. Only things is, i still want it. I have no logical reasoning for it, really.

Taurus PT-709 Slim. Have put hundreds of rounds through it, more accurate than a compact has any right to be. The thin-nesss of it makes it really comfortable to carry, but it still fits my large hands nicely - with one caveat. I grew up shooting single actions, so I am used to doing the pinky...

Came here to post this. Glad to see it is already here.

Marlin 1894c in .357, carry it slung barrel down. Can get it into action quick, if I am walking during hunting season and see something when I am not expecting to. It is light and does not get in the way.

I do sort of feel where you are coming from. I have a Marlin .357 lever gun made in 1981 that was pristine when I got it 5 years ago. I still kind of baby it. Every other gun I have is brush burned and road worn.

Well said Chindo and USSR. There are lots of scenarios that come up when things can get hairy. It happens all over the world, every single day. People seem to thing the U.S is magically insulated from that. Newsflash, human nature,at it's very core, is the same everywhere. It seems like the...

Well Double Naught, I think it is safe to say we mean smart when compared appropriately to other animals. Not smart when compared to stephen hawking. They have a highly developed intelligence when applied to staying alive, as compared to other animals hunted for game. I think that is primarily...

Folks have been hunting hogs with dogs down here for 50+ years. I grew up in the coastal bend, and have hunted in east texas. In east texas they still use fire lanes and feeders, and I am willing to bet it is 90% that way and 10% any other. Same with the coastal bend. 90% feeders, 10% any...
