    head scratching temp issue

    I had kinda the same type thing with a Thompson Contender 24" barrel in 7-30 Waters. After 2 shots the barrel would be very hot. The 1st 2 shots would be 2+ inches apart and then it would shoot sum moa. It had nothing to do with a clean barrel etc... I know there can be different reasons for...

    Phase 3 of the Marlin lever.

    Actually this was my Dad's Marlin 30-30. I got it when he died in 62. Hunted with it for quite a few years til I needed "something bigger and better". Got the itch to hunt with it again, but not with a 7# trigger. I am still somewhat interested in something in a 35 but that will wait a while...

    Phase 3 of the Marlin lever.

    Well here is the next phase of the Wild West trigger story. I got my WW trigger and it did not "drop in", as you may remember. I took it to my gun smith and ...he could not get it to fit either so he called the company. After a while they called and as they discussed the problem and the...

    Wild West Trigger

    Well I received the trigger and it doesn't fit in my pre-64 Marlin. Took it to the gun smith today and he is going to have to do some "fitting" to get it to work. He also told me that you can re-shape the original trigger to do the same thing and get the trigger pull down to 3#. Hmmm. Live...

    Remington SPS Tactical

    I've got a Rem SPS Tactical that I got for coyotes etc...But the Hogue stock has much to be desired. I've been thinking of replacing it and wondered what you guys thought. I am not sure I want to put the money into a Micky stock. but don't want a heavy stock when the gun already has a hvy 20"...

    Wild West Trigger

    Well I followed the advice of some of you and finally ordered a Wild West trigger for my Pre-64 Marlin lever. It actually should be here tomorrow. But I figured I'd take the the Marlin apart to clean it up etc.. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the original trigger was a one piece instead...

    How much over?

    I've usually heard that book velocities typically are high for the given loads. And my very limited experience with the chrony would bare that out. Though I have had very good success with 140 Accubonds and 58 gns H4831. Long

    I have become my Grandfather.

    And here I thought I was losing it. The last couple of years I have passed on lots of does and a few bucks. I keep thinking "if it walks over there I'll shoot", or "if it puts its near front leg forward I'll shoot" etc...and when the deer have done it - I don't shoot. I'm even thinking about...

    I've been in AZ with a BIL who was hunting and I was helping glass and give hand directions while he tried to sneak for a shot. I have never hunted so hard physically or mentally. He ended up with a 6 pt but it was a tough go. All the credit in the world to you for your efforts. Long
