Many thanks to all for the valuable feedback
I'm leaning toward the following
1) Smith model 14
2) Model 15
3) Model 10
4) Colt positive police- fired one that a friend's father owned a lot...
Thanks for the info.
I'm looking to use a steady diet of non +P loads.
I ran into a windfall of reloading supplies for 38 special. I currently don't own one but have been kicking a lot of tires so to say. Anyway I like the classic look of the colt positive police and...

I wish they would offer a traditional or classic line. Not like the 700 classic of old that was one chambering a year but a rifle line that included a 222, 257 Roberts, 7x57, 300 H&H etc. In addition...

Update:
After searching Google for a long period of time and finding nothing in stock anywhere I called Marbles. Spoke to a very nice lady who put me in contact with the gunsmith. So I'm good in the...

I have been looking for a tang sight for my Henry classic 22 lever. Are any available in addition to the marbles? Also does anyone have these in stock? Thanks
Thanks for all the information and book recommendation!
Always appreciate the good nature of the people here!
I always thought a Smith and Wesson Model 10 looked like a revolver should. Although I have never owned one I hope to shortly. I know the model numbers are 10-1, 10-2 and so on. Is their a thought ...
I was absolutely smitten with the hornet. I had a hornet in a handi rifle and a 77/22 Ruger Hornet. I could not get either rifle to shoot and I tried everything. A 3" group at 100 yards was cause for...
Thanks for all the feedback! I'm going ahead with the purchase.

I want a production bolt rifle in 7x57 and 257 Roberts.
Also 35 whelen
Howa, Savage, or Ruger would do.
I am thinking about putting a Nikon prostaff3x9 40mm on my new Howa mini action. Midway has them at $179. Reviews seem good with a few negatives tossed in. Does anyone have experience with this scope...

Will all bases for the Howa short action work on the mini?
Forum: Factory Rifles
I think I would:
1) check the entire area for any odd grease left over from the factory as this is a new gun
2) clean the chamber really well with a 10ga brush and lots of solvent. If there is any...

I could have bought anything at the local Scheels this weekend. Stopped in and they were overflowing with powder of all type. Bullseye was under $20 a pound. All Alliant powders except 2400 could be...

I'm really the odd man out as I have a 77/22 that shoots 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards with Remington golden bullets. My wife bought it for me in 1992 for Christmas. I have no experience with CZ.
I...

Not powder but I stopped into the local Walmart tonight and have never seen more ammo of all types. Shotgun, rifle, pistol. Stockpiles. NO 22 LR however

I handled a Howa Mini Action rifle today. Seemed like a decent rifle that would be a handy gun to have. However I was underwhelmed by the clip release. It seemed like a rinky dink affair. Can anyone...

I would buy the 7X57.
I have owned a Mark X in 243, and still own a 30/06 and 7x57. Love them.
The .243 after bedding and a trigger job put most loads into 3/4". I regret parting with that.

I have a bad set of Lyman .280 dies. I bought them new at a gunshow. No matter what I did the cases got stuck in the resizer and ripped the rim off. This was 1989. I explained them problem in a...

I have noticed the same thing with prices but also noticed they don't sell. My LGS has had a no1 mark3 at $700 on consignment for over 2 years. I had to thin the herd a while back and sold several at...
