  A real beauty! Anyone would be proud of a gun like that. :)

• Posted in thread: Thoughts on the .25 Calibers. on 05-09-2013 at 05:32 AM
  Yep, really. A whitetail deer weighs what? 130 to 150lbs? Some varmints around here weigh
  between 80 to 120lbs. And they have these things called fangs. Why not a 25 cal???? ;)Well, if
  you're talking ...

  The .257 Weatherby really does not offer that much over the 25-06 when you consider cost. Oh, I
  quite agree. The Weatherby is the king, but for practical purposes the differences are much to
  minor to ...

  "I thought it was heavy for it's size, but for the price it's pretty good. Personally, I
  consider the weight a positive quality if you want to shoot .357 ammo. The S&W alloy j-frames
  are great for .38...

• Posted in thread: New savage model 42 combo gun on 05-05-2013 at 11:05 AM
  i hate say it, but the M42 looks like crap compared to the M24 Savage. at least the 24 had wood
  furniture.Even with a synthetic stocks the 24 is a better looking gun.

• Posted in thread: 243. Vs 308. on 05-05-2013 at 10:50 AM
  What do you consider the maximum effective range of a 243 for whitetails?Just to stir the pot a
  bit more. I have heard 1000FP and 1800FPS proposed by more than one source as rules of thumb
  for deer si...

  So what are your thoughts on the dual purpose (varmint/deer) .25 calibers; i.e., the .250
  Savage, .257 Roberts, and the .25-06? Don't forget the .257 Weatherby, the king of the "quarter
  bores." ;)Pers...

  Finger grooves are a huge improvement most of the timeMy experience is exactly the opposite.
  I've never held finger grooved grips whose size and spacing fit my hand (while my hand is a bit
  on the larg...

  I co-worker just bought a Marlin 336. He was nervous if he had gotten burned. He paid
  $350.00.Given the ever growing demand for "pre-Remlin" 336s I actually think that's a pretty
  good price. Congrats ...
