The gun shop I work at is now stocking (Well, we got in a few of them) the Henry US Survival AR-7. Normally, I’d avoid anything having to do with Henry rifles… Not that there is anything wrong with them, I just don’t favor them. I don’t like Ranch Dressing either. Nothing wrong with it, …
I really love my Savage 93R17 rifle. It’s accuracy is staggering. Easily on par with .17 caliber rifles costing twice as much. Unfortunately you guys have the worst magazines out there. The mag its self is kinda sad, and the way it locks on the rifle is just stupid. Sharp edges, finicky feeding, and slow …
In one of the comments was the question… What Caliber for a Lever Gun? This depends on the purpose of the gun. For just having fun, for defense, or for hunting big game? Really it comes down to a Rifle Caliber or a Pistol Caliber. For a Rifle caliber, you have .30-30, .35 Remington, and …
I had to. After shooting Evil Jim’s that bloody thing just wouldn’t get out of my head. I had to join the Guide Gun Club. So I looked at what we had at the gun shop and I picked out this little thumper. It’s nothing fancy at all, just a Marlin 1895GBL in .45-70. It’s …
I put an AK-47 on Layaway today. I’m going to need it come Spring Time! I’ve been looking at buying one for some time now, but hadn’t found one that I really liked. Well, I found one. This was built by Cugir in Romania, then rebuilt by M&M LLC. It’s been around the block. …
One thing that I failed to mention… Jim’s .45-70 Marlin was crazy smooth. The action felt like a Henry Goldenboy, it was so slick. None of the rough grittyness that is typical of a Marlin, in any caliber. My own Marlins never felt half as good. My Rossi M92 .44 Mag feels really slick and …
As much as I love firearms… There are some guns I absolutely hate. No justification… I just hate them. People will of course jump to to defense of these… But I still hate them. The Howa Axiom. The stock is awkward and owners are always futsing with them. The rifles are heavier than they should …
Remington has cancelled production on dang near everything with a Marlin name tag. Specifically the lever action rifles. The Savage knock-off X7 rifles, I believe are still rolling out the door. We’ve had no problem getting those. Just Lever Actions, and the Rep told us that most of the orders we had were cancelled because …
.300 RUM, Elk, 225 yards, perfect side shot, well placed hit, Hornady GMX. Complete pass through with evidently no expansion. I would say this is a perfect example of too much gun for the game/range. Well, specifically too much bullet. Animal was tracked over a mile before it was located laying down… still breathing, still …
There are few firearms that just give me such gratification as a lever action rifle. The elegant lines that fuse form and function with a mechanical simplicity that makes the Lever Action one of the most beautiful of all firearms. Doesn’t matter which lever you have… they are truly lovely. I find myself simply taking …
