Has anyone taken their's out to hunt deer yet this season? I plan to take mine out soon. I can't wait.
Hammerson, glad you are finding interest here. Thanks for joining in.Nem,
it might interest you to know that the Model 39 Club thread is what originally got me to join THR, after I inherited a 1950's era 39a from my FIL, and was trying to research it. I'll save that story for the other clubhouse.
Q: What does a 1,000 yard hit on a 20" wide x 32" long dinger sound like?For real long range work I prefer tang sights.
Jeff Cooper asked the same question in his Gunsite Gossip writings. I don't remember the specific answer but I generall recall that he considered there to be very little progress on rifles in the last 300 years.Nem, you are so right - Tang.
I must admit I've become a bit of a long range addict and my FAVORITE rifle to do it with is a Marlin 336. .... This is especially true when using calibers that have been around for more than 100 YEARS. It makes me question if there really have been any truly big firearm advances since smokeless powder was invented - with the exception of John Moses Browning's offerings ....
