Damn... you guys are old! 😂

That's a great piece of kit; well designed, well executed, and fully functional. Can't ask for more than that.

Let me talk to the boss, but I think there will be an order coming.

That is very cool.

That is an absolutely beautiful rifle. Also, I really like the display you assembled for the photo; just a really nice group of artifacts (maybe not the best word).

Thank you. It seems the most common length for OTC 30-06 is 22 inches, so that would most likely be what I would get re-cut.

Met him. Every bit as genuine and down to earth in person.

I reread the thread, and I may have missed it, but how long is the barrel on that rifle? Just asking, because I'm curious about 338-06 performance, as I like the cartridge and would need to almost certainly re-bore a rifle into it. Thanks.

Craftsmanship. What is it?

Awwwwwww yeah!

Boy, I'm sure glad I spent yesterday trapped in the office :rolleyes: You planning on trying to get to Dry Tortuga? Always wanted to do a trip out there, but the only time I ever had the time is when I didn't have the money. It sure is a beautiful place.

So many PCS memories.

That's a biiiiig dog. I heard a lot of them bear hunting in Idaho and when you're all alone on a mountainside, and it's almost dark, and you can hear them calling to each other a couple hundred yards away... Slightly uncomfortable.

I messaged Smith earlier this week about just this subject, and today, they got back to me. The official line is that, no, there are not currently any plans to bring it out in any other chamberings. Okay, that's all well and good, but I tend not to believe them. No other cartridges? None...

You know, now that I think of it, this might be the first step to a .460 or .500 S&W Mag lever rifle. That would be something I don't think I would pass on. Especially a .460 that would cycle all the way down to 45 Colt. But, even if it can't, I can light load a higher pressure cartridge a...

Well, I have a local shop that tends to get new Smiths in quickly; if they happen to get one in, I'll take a long, hard look.

I've got a little nickle in 45-70, and some in 357, maybe 38 spl. Haven't tried reloading them yet, but I have never had any issues with normal brass, so I don't know if I ever will.

So pretty.

I don't know what the difference is in power between them, but if you are going for bear, I would go with what you think would give you better penetration; I expect that would be the 140s., but it's a great excuse to shoot some pork shoulders.

Well, folks, I'm torn. S&W now has a lever rifle, the Model 1854, in 44 Rem Mag. Sown here: https://www.smith-wesson.com/1854 What I like: It's stainless. It has a 1:20 twist. It comes with a peep sight. It has integrated sling studs. It's not absurdly heavy. It has a large loop. It has...
