777 works great for me!

...you might even be able to sell them here.

What is the condition of the 94s? If they're regular, run of the mill 30-30s, with no unusual factory features, they will be fairly easy to valuate. I'd guess at 95%, the circa 62 would fetch around $500. The pre war 94 would bring $600-$700 in the same shape. Condition is everything. The 94s are wonderful firearms, but very common and not that interesting. The 92, however, is a different story. You'd need to list barrel length, type of sights, type of stock, checkering, engraving, etc., in addition to the condition to get an idea of it's value. They can be quite expensive. If you could post photos, I'll bet there are several folks here who could give you a good idea.

I don't really know what to tell you. It isn't nearly as overpowering as something like Dale's, so it takes longer for the flavor to penetrate. The original flavor, in my opinion, is a good match for venison. It is also good on a rib eye.

+1 These guys know their stuff, and are pretty nice to talk to.

There;s the Lebanon Locker in Lebanon. Not too terribly far away. They're pretty good folks.

Marinade steaks in Allegro marinade for 6 hours. Grill until medium rare. DO NOT overcook. Enjoy.

Whatta ya got?

I agree.

As others have said, educate your children. Nothing is as interesting once the curiousity is removed. My children have lived in a house full of guns all their lives. I let them shoot, using each opportunity to educate them on firearm safety. You should teach them from a very early age not to touch a firearm UNLESS mommy or daddy is there and letting you. Then you need to be prepared to let them handle your firearms when they ask. This is when you teach safety. A good lesson for young children is to take them out and shoot a watermelon, tomato, or other similar item in front of them. They will be amazed. Explain to them that it will do the same thing to them or their buddies, and that's why you don't touch them unless you are supervised. Children are very open to learning this stuff if you take the time to teach them. You will NEVER hide anything from children. They WILL find it!

While some people are offended by lowball offers, I welcome them. When I'm selling something, I like to gather all the information I can get. With that offer, you don't yet know if your rifle will bring $550, but you're darned sure it will bring $250. Perhaps somwhere in the middle will be your actual selling price. Don't be offended; simply tell him thanks but no thanks. Then, don't be surprised when he makes you a higher offer. He might even keep this up until he makes an offer you like. In my opinion, $550 is high for a 742. I assume it is a 742 because I'm unaware of an 842.

I have a Topper which is a youth model combo in 20 guage and 30-30 Winchester. The 30-30 barrel will shoot an inch group all day long. The trigger isn't the greatest, however. I had a heavy barreled 223, and it didn't shoot that great. It did have a better trigger than the Topper.

When I used to trail ride, several of us who rode together would order brake/clutch levers a dozen at a time. Glad you weren't injured.

Gamaliel Shooting Supply in Gamaliel Kentucky carries an extensive supply of relaoding supplies, but primers are hard to come by right now as everyone is hoarding what they can find, so I'd definitely call before driving up there. How many are you wanting? I might be able to get you started.

Is a revolver legal equipment for muzzleloader season? It doesn't load from the muzzle, hence the name muzzleloader.

Don;t do this until someone more knowledgeable confirms it, but I remember pouring the powder into the chamber, raking it off level with the cylinder, then placing a ball on top of the cylinder full of uncompressed powder and seating the ball, turn cylinder and repeat as necessary.

Brass for the large magnums is more expensive. I think magnum primers are more expensive, but I'm not sure of that. I do know the large magnums use more powder than non magnum rounds, which costs more. As for recoil, the faster you push the same bullet out of a similar firearm, the more it will recoil. That is a fact of physics. If you want to hunt rabbits with an antiaircraft gun, it makes me no difference. I am simply stating that it is unnecessary....not unlike lots of things we do.

Some kind of mental deficiency....I've still got it.

I also don't like the added cost and recoil involved in shooting the large magnums.

On these points we can agree.

I've yet to see any of these super magnums expand reliably on whitetails; especially in factory loaded offerings. I know several guys who hunt with large magnums, and they are forever losing deer they've shot. They respond by purchasing larger caliber rifles. I've yet to lose a deer shot with any of the calibers I mentioned earlier.
