Levergun shooting today.

[JEBar]

impressive collection ... would like to hear more about each .... specially the one with the scope ... is its barrel ported ..

[Rifletom]

I like your thinking here Randy, the .41 would be a solid choice. I believe you have too many .35's; you should send one to me for "Western Evaluation!" Ok, ok, thought I'd try. Good luck this coming weekend Randy.

Set of nice pistols there.
Now as for the dozen waiting their turn, be sure to make that a bakers dozen. A new Henry 38-55 is calling you for a home

Mighty fine shooting irons!

DId the Winchester start life as a commemorative?
I see what looks like a gold plated load gate and the octagon barrel are reminiscent of a comem.
It also appears to have the black chrome, post 64 finish on the receiver and nose cap.

I have seen a few mod 94's that started out as commemoratives and were re-stocked and sometimes plated parts replaced with blue.

Very nice selection of rifles and revolvers to choose from! What .45 Colt load do you like in the Marlin?

The Ruger is SBH 7,5" barrel non ported and was the first pistol I took a deer with.
Was a small scrub buck, he was about 60 yds. One shot with a 240 jsp put him down on the spot. He was quartering away, right through the heart and exited the opposite shoulder.


Riding down the road at the moment when I get home I will finish about the others.

No it is a '94 Classic and the way they came from Winchester, my dad had one when I was growing up.
My nephew ended up with it, or he was suppose to, but that's another story.
I bought this one a few years ago in like new condition, of all my rifles it's seen the least action.
But I sure would love to down a deer with it.
There's one on gunbroker now, item #845108108 I have a bid in on it.

Was shooting 10.0 grs Unique but now 9.5, and I can't tell if much difference.

That's a good load! Alliant 2400 works well for hotter .45 loads too.
