My brother now calls it "Destructor."
It's way accurate and the giant slugs make targets fly to pieces.
It turned a frozen gallon jug of water into crushed ice in one shot. :)
Plus it's way...

New ammo report!
These weren't cast, but I got some Remington HTP round nose semi-jacketed rounds on sale.
The cowboy action loads I've been shooting were rated under 1,000 fps from a pistol...

Excellent!
I'm still having a blast with mine. My brother gets jealous how fast I can clean up after shooting.

Fun day shooting yesterday. Got to put 100 cowboy loads through it. I have an addiction to to blowing up cinder blocks now!

Stock on this one is full size. The molded checkering works well, too.

While figured wood is definitely harder to work, any weaknesses in the wood caused by the figuring won't affect the function of the gun. You're not asking it to hold up 400 pound fannies all day lol.

Too bad they can't all be like that one lol.

Oh, I'd love a 22lr but that 223 looks like a fine substitute.

It can be whatever you like. It's a Battleship game target. Lots of fun with 22s.
I'd do some double checking on my numbers regarding twist rate. I read stuff about these guns but I can't...

I hope I get this right. Pistols use a 1 in 20" and this one has a 1 in 38" to stabilize heavier bullets.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
you gotta buy two unless you get the Apex model.
Cool! Have fun.
Yes, I like blued myself.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I like that. Had an NEF shotgun that I liked but looked at some new H&Rs last year and was very disappointed. Ended up with a CVA instead.
I really like this one, though. Nice looking wood.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
I love my CVA. Awesome guns. Have fun.

I seldom shoot groups of any kind but here ya go. Three shots at the same point of aim from 50 yards today. I measured it at 7/8".

Forum: Single Shot Guns
Wow. That's cool. Those ought to make some big hurt.

I think the little 2.5 is a great scope for this gun. It's easy to simply look at the target with both eyes open, raise the gun and fire almost instantly. It's like shooting a shotgun almost. The gun...

I didn't have any LocTite when I installed the scope mount. It came loose under recoil lol.
Dont forget the LocTite!
Fixed but now I gotta check it & adjust if needed.
Credit to CVA scope...

I like 7-08. Used to have a Browning BLR chambered for that. Great round. Hard to find!
Thanks.
I'd like to hear a report on that myself. Have never seen a 35 Whelen anything.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Should be. I'll find out soon enough.
I am not presently reloading but will be soon. Looks like 20-25 cents a round to reload, which is way better than the 60 cents a round to buy new.
