    338 win mag?

    what i like about the cz is the mauser action, express sights, and the set trigger are all a great combo to have! it all depends on what kind of deal i can find on a new gun...i'm in no hurry to buy one.

    338 win mag?

    well...i went out and shot the 375H&H and a 458win mag. had a great time!!! the 375 doesnt kick much more than my 30-06 and was very accurate for shooting off hand. the 458 win mag....this one is the thumper!!! 510grain bullet, it packs a nice little punch! i shot it several times with a big grin on my face!! i havent bought it yet but i have decided on a cz550 in 375h&h, just waiting for the right deal!! thanks for all your advice!!

    338 win mag?

    i found a friend that has a 338 win mag and another friend that has 375H&H and a 458 win. i'm going to take all 3 and go shoot them saturday and see what i like...probably wind up going with the 375H&H. i did find some articles that says for small plains game that 30 06 or 7mm mag with the right ammo would be ok but is the smallest cal they recommend, i would rather be safe than sorry

    338 win mag?

    when i say "low recoil" i mean something that wont lay me flat on the ground everytime i shoot it! yeah, i do think it's funny deer hunters are telling me what to do...but i will take all the advice i can get!!

    338 win mag?

    i have been thinking about getting a big bore gun for some big game hunting....i have been thinking about the 338 win mag in either a winchester model 70 or remington 700. is this a good caliber for big game with somewhat low recoil? or is there a better caliber to go with? i have heard bad things about sort magnums or ultra mags. is this considered a short mag? i have been thinking about a safari hunt in africa when my wife and i got next year so i want to be able to say "but my deer gun is good enough to take big game honey, just let me go for a day or two." i hope it will work!!! lol

    keltec 380

    i am now the proud owner of a keltec p3at. i have wanted one for a long time and ran up on a deal...5 mags nib with 100 rounds ammo for 300. i already ordered a pocket holster for it. is there anything i need to do to the gun, i have heard stories of them not shooting and they are a piece of junk but then i hear they are great. anyways, i bought it and love it. has anyone had a bad/good one?
  15. i'm looking for some 38-55 winchester ammo to use in my 1894. if you have any or know of where some is please let me know! thanks
  16. well, i took and shot the gun this weekend....well, tried to shoot it. the shells wouldnt seat all the way in the chamber...took it home and found the round metal part of a pencil top eraser jambed in the chamber....you couldnt see it. so, i bought a perfect gun that needed put back together for $40!! i wonder if someone was playing a joke on the guy i bought it from? maybe a mad wife who didnt want him to hunt anymore! lol
  17. one of my friends bought 2 stack ons with the touch pads. and in the first year he had to send both of the touch pads in for new ones because they were messing up. i have had my old dial kind and works great! slow, but great
  18. i've been waiting all year to go hunting with my new 700 bdl dm in 30-06 with a 3x9 leupy!!! i've got a cold, wife is nagging at me to stay home because hunting 4 times this season just must be too much for her(grrrrr), but i'm gonna be out there hoping to get something! got a 8 pointer in m/l now i need a doe or a really really big buck!!!
  19. i guess i need to get to good old wally world soon, i think all the hot hands are going to be gone!! should have gone last night!!!! grrrr :-\
  20. i bought a marlin 336 and it was all in 1 box taken apart for $40. clean gun with a cheap tasco scope but not a bad buy for $40 if i can fix it, having no clue what's wrong with it. so, i put the gun together and the lever will not stay closed, it opens 1/2 inch unless you keep it held shut. well, what i found was the lever was bent keeping the detant from going over the roll pin that keeps it closed. the only way i can see how it got bent would be if the bolt stuck open and the pryed on the lever until it closed. has anyone else ran into anything like this? the bolt staying stuck open after you shoot it? i'm going to shoot it saturday after i hunt so i will find out then if it was the problem or the symptom.

    Decisions decisions

    if you want a single action i would go with the 45 long colt! but if you want a hunting or carry double action i would go with the 44 mag!
  22. i thought about redoing the 12 ga bolt from sears i had...but instead i gave it to my dad for his birthday so i wouldn't think about spending my time on it, and than i found this model 11 to do instead. good luck with yours.
  23. well, i did the trigger and trigger housing and so far so good!! i will keep you guys posted on how it is going and try to get some pictures up...
  24. i'm in nashville/hendersonville
  25. i'm wanting to get the 8 pointer i shot mounted. i found a guy that does them for 275 said it would be march before he could get it back to me. i know the price is pretty good. does anyone else know of anyone resonable?
