      Lessons Learned After Newtown

      It's do or die time for American gun owners. There's supposedly no money to train & post the armed security personnel on school & university campuses that should have been in place decades ago to protect our young people but the anti-gun Obama administration will somehow find money for federal...

      Rossi or Marlin

      The Browning B92 without a doubt was the BEST model 92 lever action rifle ever made. I include the original Winchester 92s in that comparison. The Browning clones display excellent workmanship & are made of modern steel that will stand up to modern high power loads. Many of the old...

      Rossi or Marlin

      Puma is a registered trademark owned by LSI. Rossi used to make the Puma 92 rifle for LSI and now Chiappa makes the Puma rifle. Chiappa Pumas are 1/2 the gun for 2X the price of the Rossi 92. If you want a real walnut stock get the Chiappa Puma. If you want a gun that works & shoots good get...

      Rossi or Marlin

      The Rossi R92 is a $400 gun. The new Miroku made Japchesters in the same calibers are $1500. That big discrepancy alone tells you there has to be a trade-off somewhere. That trade-off is quality control. One Rossi coming off the assembly line could be a winner and the very next one behind or...

      Rossi or Marlin

      5 years ago I would have said just the opposite but since the Remington takeover the statement is true. The simplicity of the 92 design is largely responsible for the toughness of the Rossi 92s. John Browning:patriot: was a big believer in the KISS:yesway: principle (Keep It Simple Stupid)...

      Rossi or Marlin

      Henry's are cool but they're also very heavy for the caliber & expensive. Not many including me would want to carry one of these through the bush. And the so-called "brass" is nothing but fake mystery metal. The Marlins that were made after the Remington takeover are garbage with cheap plastic...

      Rossi or Marlin

      Given a choice between a pre-Remington Marlin 336C like the one I owned in .35 Remington and a pre-childish safety Rossi Puma 92 I would be hard pressed to make a choice. They are both quality guns. I always had a preference of 92s that were close to John Brownings original design specs. That...

      WHICH CALIBER AND MODEL FOR A LEVER ACTION RIFLE

      I have a pre-lawyersafety Amadeo Rossi SA 16" bbl Puma 92 in .357 Mag which is a good running-mate to both my S&W Model 686 & S&W Model 19 in .357 Mag. I won't buy a Braztech R92 with the childish safety lever on it and I won't spend good money to have the safety removed & there are lots more...

      How many different calibers do you have?

      Why sell the Mosin? They're cheaper than dirt. I got a new one still "in the grease" from the Polish arsenals for $160 and put a Timney trigger in it to replace the "fence-post" factory trigger that had 1/4" of creep. It's a real good shooter now that I don't need a block & tackle to pull the...

      How many different calibers do you have?

      I have several calibers of handguns. My rifles all work for a living and travel a lot and I have chosen calibers based on the following criteria: 1) suitability for game hunted, 2) availability of ammo on store shelves. I use ubiquitous calibers like the .308 Win., the .300 Win. Mag, the .30-06...

      .45 Lever action Rifle information

      A complicated action consisting of many unnecessary parts that will fail over the long haul is not a good thing especially if it is in a lever package that weighs almost 9 pounds !!. The same argument convinced me not to pay $1500 for one of the new Japchesters from Miroku and buy a...

      WHICH CALIBER AND MODEL FOR A LEVER ACTION RIFLE

      I won't buy a Marlin that was made after the Remington takeover. If I was in the market for one I'd look for a good used "real Marlin". I hate to say it but most of the old American standard guns like Browning & Winchester that you can trust to be of respectable quality off the rack are...

      WHICH CALIBER AND MODEL FOR A LEVER ACTION RIFLE

      Nonsense. The .35 Remington is a bottle neck cartridge and a .38SPL is a straight case cartridge. You cannot shoot .38SPL cartridges from a firearm chambered for .35 Remington !! You can however shoot bullets designed for the .38SPL (.355" - .358") from a gun chambered in .35 Remington by...

      WHICH CALIBER AND MODEL FOR A LEVER ACTION RIFLE

      Have a 16" Rossi Puma 92 in .44 Mag. Good gun & at 4.8 pounds my shoulder loves this gun. My favorite lever of all is a 18" bbl Ruger Model 96/44 with a little Bushnell Trophy 1.75-5x33mm scope on top. A perfect "fast target acquisition" combination that consistently shoots the Winchester 240...

      .45 Lever action Rifle information

      .357/38 Lever Actions. What are my options here?

      The Amadeo Rossi SA (pre-safety) Puma 92 in .454 Casull only weighs 5 pounds yet packs the punch of a .45-70. This gun makes no apologies to Marlin, Uberti, Chiappa, Pedersoli, Cimmaron or the original Winchester for that matter. It is made of much stronger steels (Rockwell 20+) than the "soft"...

      .357/38 Lever Actions. What are my options here?

      The Henrys look good with the brass receiver but weigh a ton. Good for a wall gun but that extra weight makes for that "rode hard & put away wet" :horse: feeling after packing that thing through the bush all day.

      Some people don't deserve to own guns Gotta respectfully disagree. Super Redhawk DA revolver in .454 Casull :rockwoot:- fantastic hunting revolver and 1/3 the price of a Freedom Arms SA. Ruger .357 Mag. Security-Six revolver:rockwoot: still going strong after decades of use. Just love my...
