We lost a great source of 35 Rem. when we lost Grumpa. I bought 100 from him to try out. Wished I had bought 500.

Tried many guns. A long time ago, I was trained on Model 1911. Too big to carry concealed. I tried every holster. I have settled on the Sig 365XL. Great gun with good capacity. When it is...

I agree with most. Lyman is my go to manual. I know you asked for latest, but no one should be without Ken Water's : "Pet Loads".

Beautiful rifle. I have an earlier one without the side loading gate. I believe yours is the better looking.
I would like to thank everyone for their input. After reading the supplied links and responses in this thread, I ordered the Bianchi 111.
Recently purchased one of the new Colt Pythons. Six inch barrel. Looking for recommendations on a holster. Just a "walking around the pasture" type holster. I want to know what really works for...

A 1998 Browning 1895 BPCR new in the box. Believe I gave too much for it, but it's mine! In 45-70. I know absolutely nothing about loading black powder. Looks like an old dog will have to learn...

Got into shooting "Trap" in about 1970. I was in the Navy. I made almost zilch for money. Bought a MEC 600Jr. (Still have it!). You know what? I discovered I loved reloading as much as shooting...

These were the superstars of their day. There was no NBA or NFL.
Thank you pietro.
Yes, I found that brief statement. I guess I wanted to know a little history about their receiver sights. I have several of their original scopes. When I was a kid growing up,...
Not sure if this is the right place to post this. Mods feel free to move.
I recently bought a Redfield receiver sight. I have looked, and found very scant info on the company. Yes I know they...

Looking for a Redfield Receiver Sight. 70F or 80F or 102F. Would like the "T" model, but settle for "H". Nice condition. I am going to install and use this sight.

My Dad grew up during the depression. He was one of eleven kids. Raised on a farm. He would run up and down the creeks hunting squirrel with an old hand me down single shot .22. I remember as a...
I am just the opposite! I have two barns, two sheds, a garage and a reloading room. I know I own something, but will be darned if I know where it is!

Wanted an 1886 Winchester for years. I don't know why, but I was never willing to pay the price or I could not find what I wanted. Uncle Joe said he was going to stop internet sales. I bought one,...

If it helps any, I have a modern Winchester 94. My bore slugged at .377. I use the starline short brass also. As for bullet, I use Missouri Cast Bullets, RNFP .379 sized, 245grain. They...

I too use it for 45/70, 38/55, .35 Remington, 9.3X62 and others. If I could only have one powder, not sure this is the one, but it would be on the short list!

Thanks Herb. Not exactly what I am looking for tho. Just want the simple receiver peep sight. Do not want to drill any holes.

I have to have one that fits the receiver. I have a safety on the tang. Besides, that's a little steep for my blood!
I have no idea if the Marlin sight will fit.

The rifle is a new Miroku/Winchester. I am looking for a Redfield or older Lyman (steel) receiver sight. Yep, I know it's like looking for frog's hair. You never know.

Can not post pictures. Do I have to be a paying member to do so?

I own two Miroku/Winchesters. I agree, the quality is outstanding. If the price is that good, don't let it get away. You will hate yourself later. At the worst, think of it as an investment.

I always hate it when the OP does not come back with the results. The 45/90 was on Gunbroker of course. I sent several emails to the owner. I never received a response. It is a leap of faith to...
