Re: Multiple Rilfes
I forgot, I may add a 12 gauge coach gun too. That would be handy.

Re: Multiple Rilfes
as noted above, we don't have more than one rifle in any given caliber ... in reading trough post in this thread and thinking about it for a while, I now believe I do know what I'd like to add next .... if Henry was to come out with a Long Ranger 30-30 I'd be hard pressed not to buy one .... with our Model 94 we have the normal limitations in the types of bullets we can use .... with a clip fed rifle, we could load any/all the wide range of 30 caliber bullets on the market .... that would be something I'd really enjoy

Re: Multiple Rilfes
Well you CAN use a Spire point bullet in a Mod 94 but it becomes a single shot however it is amazing the range and accuracy improvements with a Mod 94 loaded with a 150 grain Spire Point!with our Model 94 we have the normal limitations in the types of bullets we can use

Re: Multiple Rilfes
makes sense .... being able to take that out of the theoretical realm and move it into a real one adds to my motivation .... I think I'll call Henry next week and ask if they are giving any consideration to producing a Long Ranger 30-30Mistered wrote:Well you CAN use a Spire point bullet in a Mod 94 but it becomes a single shot however it is amazing the range and accuracy improvements with a Mod 94 loaded with a 150 grain Spire Point!with our Model 94 we have the normal limitations in the types of bullets we can use

Re: Multiple Rilfes
Just speculation but I cannot imagine they WOULD produce one in 30-30. The reason for a MAG fed lever is really to be able to utilize the attributes of a lever with the advantages of rimless cartridges of higher power. There are plenty of 30-30 options already so I can't really see a HUGE market for LR in 30-30.I think I'll call Henry next week and ask if they are giving any consideration to producing a Long Ranger 30-30

Re: Multiple Rilfes
that could certainly be the case ... the vast majority, if not all, of the currently produced 30-30's I know of are tube fed ... 30-30 has a long standing, large following ... a clip fed would be pretty much alone in providing a way to load spitzer bulletsMistered wrote:Just speculation but I cannot imagine they WOULD produce one in 30-30.

Re: Multiple Rilfes
AND with no commercially spire point loaded in 30-30 (does not include the LeverEvolution rounds - I am referring to traditional ammo) you have nothing more than a MAG fed lever gun that shoots typical FP ammo.a clip fed would be pretty much alone in providing a way to load spitzer bullets

Re: Multiple Rilfes
I picked up a Zane Grey Century recently so that makes three 30-30 rifles in my string of 366's.
I think the 30-30 long range limitations are in the case not the action.

Re: Multiple Rilfes
10-4 on the lack of commercial .... RCBS notes 30-30 reloading dies have long been and continue to be among their top 10 sellers ====> http://www.chuckhawks.com/rcbs_2012_rifle_die_sales.htm .... I have absolutely no doubt that among such a large pool of reloaders, Henry would find very lucrative marketMistered wrote:AND with no commercially spire point loaded in 30-30 (does not include the LeverEvolution rounds - I am referring to traditional ammo) you have nothing more than a MAG fed lever gun that shoots typical FP ammo.
