Firearm BS thread

yeah I am looking at gunbroker right now, and the savage and Winchester are ugly as sin (I think both are old like 50's-60's on the ones I'm looking at), but the browning is a good looking gun, marlin has one too on there and its a good looking piece, and henry makes em new apparently.

 

My appologies to the duke, but it looks like a ruger 10/22 had a horrible drunk debacle with a red rider

 

Ditto! I have both of those as well. The Marlin is chambered in .30-30 which I use for deer & black bear mostly, iron sights only, and the 111 is .300WSM with Leupold VX3-I which I mostly use for Elk. I'm taking the wife's older than me Remington 700 .270 w/Redfield scope this year too. Season starts Sunday at high noon here. Can't wait!

 

model 88... and a hard pass from this guy

 

Correct, the model 99 used a rotary magazine so it could fire spitzers.

 

My stepdad's old Remington 88 was a little less than gorgeous, but it dropped many an elk over the years. Great gun actually.

 

I'd rock it!

 

My little brother still has that gun, he doesn't shoot it much, I think because it's heavy as an anvil. Not that his Browning BAR in 7mag is much lighter, but that's what he uses now days.

 

I have one of those. It was a hand me down. I doubt I'll shoot it because it's so old. I take it it and clean it twice a year.

 

I'd look for a used 3030 since between Marlin and Winchester there are probably tens of millions that have been made.

 

If it aint broke, don't fix it!

 

Winchester found that out the hard way in '64.

 

I have a vortex crossfire II 3-9x40 scope for sale in a sniper one piece mount. Looking for $130.

Looks like it needs a shoulder strap to be complete. Maybe a bipod if you're shooting Prongs on the plains.

 

Anyone have fiber optic or Tritium fiber optic sights on their pistol? Thinking about getting one or the other for my CZ as the factory sights are the worst I have ever seen. The normal FO sights look fragile, the TFO looks better made but I have never owned a set. Worth buying or should I stick to trijicons?

 

Cool I'll have to give them a try.

 

hey, just for my information. what kind of groups do yall shoot at distance with pistols? im really just trying to judge how bad i actually am. but i think it would be fun to compare our targets. obviously only targets that list gun and distance. ammo is welcome. slow aimed fire only. im just trying to improve my pistol shooting, and curious how i compare. id also be very interested in how individuals do with different sights. what you guys think?

 

Fist-size to basketball-size. None of my pistols are precision target guns. I always shoot pistols standing, and with speed and effectiveness in mind. If I can get a fist-size group with a pistol at a certain distance from a draw, I work on being smoother - faster - start working failure to stop drills, etc.

I guess the one pistol I have shot from the bench in the last 2 years would be my 66-2 357 mag. It's my hunting pistol for whitetail pistol season. Open sights, 4" barrel. I can manage about a 6" group from 50 yards with big nasty Buffalo bore hardcast loads.

 

Not out here so much. They walk all over the roads to get heat in their hooves in the fall so 50-75 yds isn't unheard of.
