Looking to pick up a cheap but reliable 20 gauge SxS or O/U for less than $500. This will see use as a loaner as well as personal use for upland and occasion for clays. Changeable chokes would be nice but not necessary. Minimum 26” barrels. Have been looking at used guns as well as new...

Would you mind sharing photos of the Whelen? This setup (1895 in .35 Whelen) makes a lot of sense to me. In fact if I was well-heeled enough I would go out and build one right now! Did you rebore the existing barrel or get a custom barrel?

I should also add my Winchester 1894 .25-35 WCF! Obviously good enough for deer, I would also use it on elk inside of 125 yards. Here is a pic of my friend Josh shooting rock chucks with it!

I do not have pictures of all but for me short range rigs are <100 yards guns. My Lyman Great Plains .54 caplock would likely get the nod on deer or elk. A shotgun with rifled slugs or even my Blackhawk in .357 magnum with 180 grain Bear Loads would certainly suffice inside of 75 yards. My...

Of the newer cartridges, that .338 RPM is one of the most intriguing to me! Good luck on your elk hunt Fotis!!

After feeding all of the stock this morning, I took a little drive in the back country. I drove up to our western boundary fence just in time to catch a herd of about 75 head of elk. This cow was in the rear. Running left to right towards the neighbors fence at between 250-275 yards I led...

Just thinking outside the box here but why not get it rechambered and converted to .32-20 WCF?

Awesome. All of this. Thank you for sharing.

I bet that shoots well Bruce.

Was hoping by this week but maybe next week?

I decided to keep the buttstock and forend as they were. Part of the reason is, there is a buckskin cheek rest that my Dad made and put on there years ago, I love the character that it adds. Will certainly post pics when it is in hands, 100% assembled.

A couple more:

Here are some pics of the action and barrel assembled!! 😮😮

I am as dyed in the wool of a .30-06 guy as you can find. That said, the .270 is a darn good cartridge. I’m pretty late to the party where the .270 is concerned. My Uncle passed away six years ago and left me a Browning BBR in .270! It loves the old combo of a 130 grain Sierra Gameking on top...

Such nice rifles in such a wonderful cartridge. The .300 Savage is one I would like to see make a comeback but it seems pretty unlikely at this point. The .308 is just enough better (ballistically speaking) to draw most of that market these days.

Just loaded up 50 rounds in some Blue bag W-W brass, Varget and 150 grain Sierra SP. I think a 150 grain cup n core bullet is the bread and butter load for a .300 Savage!

.300 Savage

Here are the only after teasers that Gareth sent me:

First off, if anyone here is a purist, eschewing and denouncing any sort of “non-original” rifles, please avert your eyes, this post will cause you to combust. My grandfather’s Savage 99EG was given to me when I was about 10 years old by my father. I of course kept it in Dad’s gun cabinet and...

I killed my first few deer and one cow elk with that old Savage. It’s pretty well been out to pasture lately but getting it restored will get it back in the lineup. I can’t wait to show it to Dad. And here on the forum!!
