I had this in a single shot thread and the seller had it listed as a 45 70 but after seeing the gun and inspecting it before the deal it is a 54cal breech load 54 cal rifle. I dont know alot about...

I didnt post any pics yet but got the rifle. To my surprise he had no idea what it was. It is a Garrett arms rifle with proper cartouche on the stock that says Garrett himself supposedly inspected...

Ok looks like I finally am gonna get to handle the rifle. Fella says he's been out of town but is going to meet me tomorrow so I can look at the rifle and buy it for $450 if it looks good. Will keep...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Well. The deal has fallen through. Not sure if the fella figured out the rifle was worth more than his $450 asking price or if he sold it to someone else. I tried to call and text with no answers or...
Forum: Single Shot Guns
Thanks for the advice guys. If all looks well tomorrow I am gonna buy it. I will post some pics afterwards if I can figure it out.
Forum: Single Shot Guns
All. Thanks for the details. The rifle looks very lightly used from images I have of it. Obviously I wont know until I actually look at it. The seller inherited all of the firearms from his late...

Sorry meant to say sharps. It's a sharps clone not a Spencer. Anyhow does anyone own one and is it worth it? Not sure how many original sharps are out there but I know pedersoli is using the same...

All. I have a potential to get a imported Garrett Arms 45/70 carbine rifle that's a Sharps clone. I cant find alot online. I know Garrett went under in the mid 80s but all I can find is they are...

I use either an A1 stock or a magpul moe rifle stock. Both are A1 length and I much prefer that length even though I'm 6'2" I just dont like a long stock and prefer the A1 length. Could be because I...

Let me also say I am first and foremost a hunter but also like to target shoot. I'm not opposed to buying a few boxes of high end 22lr to test since my main goal is good accuracy for hunting rabbits...
Forum: Rimfire Area
Thanks fellas. I will look into some CCI SV. Seems now its easy to find 22lr at least for the time being. I have about 10k stockpiled but dont wanna break into it unless I have too. It's mostly the...

My buck mark is new. I put maybe 200rds between me and my oldest boy in one outing. I figured it may need 500 or so to break it in. Really love how simple it is compared to the old mark iii I had....
Forum: Rimfire Area
Hello. Just wanted to ask what all you guys have tried and what seems to group the best in your buck mark. I know they likely wont group the same. So far I have ran probably 10 or so types and brands...

Well took it apart and what a bear it was to do! Once I got it figured out but man that spring is strong and was awful to put back together!! When I pulled the safety lever the spring and detente...
Forum: Factory Rifles
It is all factory with factory trigger so I am gonna take bolt down to see if spring or detent is missing or if the spring is broken or badly compressed etc and will post my results.
Forum: Factory Rifles
Ok so let me say I have always loved the look and feel of about every factory model 70 I have ever laid hands on. Know I have owned a few Rugers and a pile of rem 700s. I had a basic model 70 in...

I do think I'm going to trade with the feller as long as he and I agree when he comes to town. I do like the burl in the stock. I would say your 308 norma ought to be a hammer on deer and I'm pretty...
