I agree and to add a little more to this a lot of 30-06 rifles stayed in the state after both world wars. Not only did some of the native americans who had some of them, use them after the wars but sold them. There were simply a lot of 30-06 rifles around. And as has been stated economic and...

Well my dad and granddad was not a guide. but I have spoken to and read a lot about these men of years gone by. My dad would not have used much different than we do now, as many of the rifles and calibers we use today were also available to our fathers. Bullets used however have changed and...

+ 1 this post is spot on. I also agree with dubyam and his thoughts However Earle also did not say he agree with this, only reported what was happening, which is true and a good report. Our son had the opportunity to work for one of these guides and we refused to let him do so. I wonder...

I should have read everyone else's post BEFORE I posted and perhaps I would have passed on this thread LOL I am definitely the odd man out on truck guns----story of my life

We have never had "a" truck gun, we always had two and now three In El Paso we always had a 12 gauge shotgun and a 30-06 in the rack. Now that we are in alaska we have a three gun rack. We still have the 12gauge and the 30-06, but we have added a lever 45/70. The 12gauge brings more home to...

+ 1. All of us who work for a paycheck can decide how we want to spend it after we get it. What rifle, what hunt, what action is determined by the person paying for it and I for one have no problem with that system. Socialism is of no interest to me. I will work to take care of myself and my...

This is great tom and a nice change from Pa. Good Luck

I can not add anything that Tom, charlie, aleena, shoots5, Dr Mike and BK has not already said. I do like this caliber and if you hand load it is an EXCELLENT 30 caliber choice. Many hve used it successfully with 180 and 165 gr bullets. We find it is most effective for hunting in this area...

Fotis, my uncle collects old firearms and has several lever actions. The two old ones that stood out n my mind were an 1873 44 cal with an octagonal barrel , and an 1873 Musket that has the bayonet with it . I was thinking the old lever action musket might be one you dont have, if your...

good post scotty, As scotty knows I am a great fan of the 30-06, but it isnt the only rifle I use or enjoy. I have just recently started using the 340 weatherby and it is quickly becoming my favorite rifle. and yet when on horseback I always take the 45/70. But yes I am a great fan of...

Scotty, let me try to move this thread back to something enjoyable. Actually it has already been tried a couple of times. Two cartridges we can not live WITHOUT 30-06 and 375 H and H the 30-06 gave us the 25-06, 270, 280, and the late, great 35 whelen the 375 H and H gave us in the...

Interesting post amongst the other congratulatory posts. I am sure she will be along to answer your question fotis, but I do know from a different forum that she had not used Nosler products, but has the utmost respect for Jim and Scotty and felt comfortable with their recommendation. Plus I...

Excellent advise Scotty on both points. Also there are other well made 45/70 s being made that are better than the new marlin. Scotty can steer you to them if you dont already know who they are.

Thanks A. It was just a little to obvious this time, so I figured why bother. Also thanks for the correction, I may be one of the few hunt and peck guys left. Your right also about the price, it is a bit spend y and the service can be slow. But your right it is great in thick willows. The...

Best of luck

Charlie, Aleena, We have had the same experience. We have all four 338, 340, 375 and 35. The 35 can be loaded to equal the 338. But we have found we can get more with the 375 than we can the 35 and the 35 lags way behind the 340. We have someone in our family that spends an ungodly amount of...

Scotty another one like the 9.3 x 64 but different is the 376 Steyr. A fellow up here has one and I shot it a while back and it is a real shoulder howitzer. Maybe a brake would help but he likes it as is. As you know I am kinda boring, I was shown the 9.3 x 64, the 375 Ruger, the 376 Steyr and...

Scotty, when I was researching for my trip, I received a ton of info from A and found that the 9.3 x 64 is legal in most Africa countries, as it is considered equivalent to the 375 H& H and for the lack of a better phrase , it was grandfathered in. Before you look at another 35 whelen, you...

+ 1 Scotty Dr, mike--beautiful gun, great caliber. Congrats and enjoy!
