The gun thread...

[88_Eddie]

heard lots of good stuff about the 6.5.....i know a few guys on a remington forum that have 700's chambered in it. they shoot in matches with it and love it.

i'd keep that one and start with a new rifle. you can never have too many

thinking about picking up a .30-30 this weekend.

I love my Marlin 336c. No scope. Fiber optic high visibility sights.perfect gun for hunting in the woods. I use a scoped 30-06 in open fields or bigger areas. I've killed deer at 200 yards with my 30-30 so.. It'll take care of you.

 

[heptofite]

was thinking of a winchester 94 clone.

 

[4.0B2]

i can't tell you anything about those. never dealt w/ them.

my dad's got an 1894, made in 1945

real solid, shoots straight.

the over the shoulder shell ejection makes me feel like i'm in a western movie.

My dad has one too, old enough to be pre-safety and top eject.

It looks new because throwing the gun is probably more accurate that shooting it, he knew about it up front and traded a pair of tires for it to say he had one.

I have a new 336C, if you go that route be really picky... Remington hasn't been kind to the brand. If I had to do it again I would have probably gotten the Mossberg because the odds are better at getting a good one (which I was lucky to) I am wanting to get a peep sight for for mine though, to be different instead of a scope. I am not sure what the deal is but anymore my eyes focus on the either the rear sight or the target...

i've got the same exact shotgun, i got rid of the bluing though. it's my zombie killer plus home defense gun. just added a bright ass led light to it....it's getting a pistol grip next i think

Joys of the Savage platform, takes all of 5 minutes to re-barrel and set the headspace.

Nice gun, I keep mine full of OO buckshot and ready to rock. What kind of paint/rail to you have for the light up front? I have been looking for something simple to use along side a mossy heat shield on mine.

 

[88_Eddie]

the paint is duracoat, british DPM green (still not sure how i feel about the color, but it's different). i hate bluing so i got rid of it right after i bought it. you can put your hands all over the duracoat and not worry about fingerprints.

the rail for the light is something i found at cheaper than dirt. if you look under the mossberg 500 accessories, you'll see it. i think it was $20. i got the light from SWFA for $30. it's not a surefire, but it's plenty bright for my needs.

i want to get a heat sheild as well, the barrel is so thin, it's damn hot after 5 or 6 shots.

you can barely see it, but i've got a tritium front sight on it as well. works awesome at night.

I have a S&W Sigma 9mm

Mossberg 500 Trophy Series 20 gauge w/ 30mm red dot sight

(not mine but you get the point)

I am currently looking for a .40 cal. I am looking at Springfield, S&W and Taurus mainly.

How do you like it?

I have been pondering shutting up the toy gun commenters and supplimenting my 20ga 500 Bantam with a 12ga like you pictured but with wood and a red dot scope for hunting deer. I am pretty good at busting rock with the 20 and I probably won't get enough out of it to buy a barrel.

That and it was my first gun and they don't make them like it anymore that I have seen. Really pretty wood, engraved receiver, gold trigger... had it since '96 when I was 12 and despite being drug through the woods in search of deer every winter it still looks new.

how do you like that sigma? the sigma's are one pistol i've not shot in my quest to find the perfect carry pistol for me.. so far its looking like a springfield .xd subcompact .40 or compact .45
