I observed one in an old levergun that was 7 holes drilled in the stock. The cover was a piece of leather screwed down at one end, and a snap at the other end. Half of the snap was screwed to the...

If I can find a used barrel, I am thinking of a .451 wildcat on a 308 case for my model 6 (same barrel assembly as a 760) Easier large cal. would be a rebore to .358 Winchester.

Had an older one(had the round grooved forend) for a short time probably 35 years ago in 270 Winchester and it shot well. Have always wanted another one.
Forum: Gunsmithing Tips & Tricks
Yes it has a 308 case head in the receiver. Last model of the pump rifle, I think it was discontinued in the mid 1980's. I will be happy with less 2 inches at 100 yards with hunting loads. Also want...

Have a TC 45 cal. maxi ball mould, cast of stick on ww, seated flush, 5gr bullseye in a 18 inch 45/70 is pretty effective out to 50yds on 120ish pound deer and hogs. And its pretty quiet.

Here in my part of Florida shots are 100 yds max. This year I am shooting a 30/30 load that was an old drilling load in the past. I have come to believe that a meplat of close to .300 or larger, a...

Just use 1 thin card wad over the shot, you will get less shot disruption and better patterns.

A standard velocity full wadcutter or wide flat nose (800 to 900 fps) through the lungs at 20 yds or less will bring down a whitetail in my experience it will collect your deer. Bigger is better,...
