Marlin lever action spring kit from Brownell's. Simple to install and makes everything run easier. A little judicial smoothing of some surfaces helps, too. Inexpensive and easy.

In my experience Contender .22 barrel accuracy is dependent on quality of ammo. Use good ammo and they shoot. The better the quality, the better the accuracy. All of their barrels I've seen shoot...

A number of years ago I called one of the tech guys at Fox Ridge, the old T/C custom shop, about their match chamber. He told me they cut the chamber for Federal .22 ammo. I used the economical...

My lever guns all wear Williams aperture sights. Even with aging eyes and some vision problems I can install whichever aperture I can see well with and shoot pretty well. But I have used scopes on...

For years I've heard many complain about all the bad things that happen with Contenders and it's common knowledge they made some bad barrels but I've been lucky as all of mine are good. Take a look...

Saeco makes a mould for a 250 gr. RNFP (#431 I think) that was designed to feed flawlessly in .44 cal. lever guns. I use Lyman #2 alloy, Hornady GC, 50/50 Alox lube, 23 gr. H110 in mine and it...

Congrats on your successful hunt. I always grumble when legislators pass limitations on calibers to be used for hunting. Most of them haven't a clue what they're talking about. It's like all the...

Gianni...As is often the case it's a matter of access to good land. I used to hunt coyotes for several ranchers in that area so had good access but I've noted that it's harder and harder to get...

My wife and one of my sons made me a gift of an 1894 Cowboy Limited in .44 mag several years ago. After a trip back to Marlin to replace it's barrel that had a rusty bore right off the shelf and a...

Many years ago while on our way home from deer hunting my old friend and mentor, Spike, and I spotted something moving in a ditch. We stopped to investigate. At the bottom of the ditch were two...

Me thinks all the cats are sneaky buggers! Several years ago I was winter hiking near Crystal Lake near Lewistown, Mt. with my dog. Snow was deep and the only place we could get footing was on a...

Well, you could try to eat it but I'd bet big money you can't hold it down. Once read a story about a trapper long ago who was living in the wild and was nearly starved to death. He caught a coyote...

Finding Sasquatch is kind of like looking for an honest politician...nearly impossible. Frankly, I'd trust Sasquatch more though. Maybe we should start a campaign to get Sasquatch for president. ...

Shot my first when I was seven years old, 59 years ago and have shot untold numbers of them since. Besides 14 years shooting them for the USFWS (U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service) I've shot them on my...

It can be hard to draw but if you can draw tags on the CMR (Charlie M. Russell) refuge in central/eastern Montana those Missouri Breaks have a nice elk herd and the going isn't too tough, elevation...

Oh boy! Here we go...one of those subjects that can go on forever. It's like asking what's the best rifle caliber. Probably depends on what you plan to use it for, how much you want to spend, etc....

Until I moved into a bigger town I used to live in a small town on the edge of Custer National Forest. I roamed the woods almost every day "just in case" an opportunity presented itself. But...

For slow loads with both 150 and 170 grainers use Trail Boss. For fast loads use 3031 for both weights. This is what works for me.

Run a patch with some Kroil on it through the bore to dampen it slightly. Take a well worn bronze brush and wrap it with a good patch. Load the patch with a goodly amount of Montana Xtreme Bore...

I've had two Chrony's and never had a problem with them. Once you use one you'll never want to be without one. My first one was a casualty of a windy day. A gust hit my tripod and blew it over...

Now that I've found Simply Rugged and used one of their holsters I will surely get more of them. It's nice to find someone who makes good stuff at reasonable prices. Like many, I have a whole bunch...

No pics, no proof? I'm one of the computer challenged who doesn't know how to put a photo on here. I can barely type, also. But you may notice that I can spell fairly well. I realize there are...

Just received a Silver Dollar Pancake holster for a Ruger SP 101, 3 inch .38 Spec. It's a bit hard to find leather for this model so was happy to find someone who made one. Their service was...

Crabo's original question was how the two scopes held up. I've not used the newer Weaver mentioned but can give an opinion on the older Vari XIII. I've had several Leupolds, including the old Vari...
