    High fence “private game preserve”!?

    There are high fence 300-400 acre farms all over the midwest and Appalachia that sell deer and elk "hunts". you literally choose the class of deer you want to kill (150-170, 170-190, 200+ etc) wait by a feeder, and when it goes off the deer come running in. you then kill the pet deer when it...

    30-06 round

    yes. yearn. Blued steel and Walnut when meshed together form a soul. And the soul yearns for heavy for caliber projectiles at moderate velocities

    30-06 round

    The Remington pumps and Winchester 1895s yearn for the 220grn cor-lokts. It completely changes the 30'06 dynamic.

    Trijicon Credo 3-9x40 vs 2.5-10x56

    If those were my two choices and I was a tree stand/blind hunter and my shots were primarily 200 or less I would def get the 56mm objective. 40mm to 56mm is a 40% jump in size. with a similar power range/exit pupil logically that should make the 56 mm significantly more bright

    "Old Rifles"

    Killed my first deer with a vintage 1950 Mauser FN in 270 as a boy. I have a ton of vintage lever guns, to include 2 Winchester 1895s in 30'06 and 405 Win that I intend to kill with this fall. My newest lever gun is a pre-safety Marlin 1894 in 44 Magnum made in 1978. Killed a boar and a Corsican...

    Cost to Chop & Thread Marlin 1895 CBA

    Also, they shouldn't be chopping the mag tube. The CBA/SBL all had 6rd tubes. The 1895 standards and 1895 Guide guns had 4 round tubes. If you are dead set on cutting a desirable variant, the easiest thing to do is just get a 4rd tube and mag spring/follower from a donor 1895 and relocate the...
