We used to hunt snowy days tracking whitetails in the 70's/80's with Savage 1899 and Lyman tang sight. But by 90's we were using low power Scopes like 1.5/5 power. This fall I am going to regress back to hunting "the old way". Either the 141 Remington in .35 Rem with 200gr bullets @ 2200fps. Or...

Let's hope you all get a better one, than this little Bambi.......... ( I bet you don't)... Lol E. This is proof western Canada don't have all the big ones, this is the new record buck from Nova Scotia!

Do yourself a huge favor and get it over....... Been through this toooo many times. Only regret is not doing sooner and watching them suffering terrible because I wasn't man enough to let them outta here the easy way. Now I don't try to get to the end the hard way...... Sleep alot better and...

Me too! Have great Holiday Season ⛄ E

That is another beautiful rifle. I can certainly see why you are a Henry guy! Well good to hear your still able to do the open sights, I am ok with a tang sight but rear sight on barrel is about out of the question for me anymore, looking forward to seeing how it will shoot those old 300gr...

If a guy handloads; there are some huge advantages over the 25/06 with a 6.5x06. The bullet selection is incredible compared to your options with the old .257..... That and the fact the twist most 25/06 barrels is hopeless to stabilize most of the custom bullets that would have much higher BC...

Thanks and Happy Holidays to you at ⛄ Christmas Vince. E

Tnx Doc! Merry HoHo to you and yours in the Yukon at Christmas time🎄

Merry Christmas ⛄ to you and yours! Enjoyed your YouTube video on loading the 45/70. Well done Guy E

Tnx JD.........e

Tnx Charlie, Will probably hunt it with 325's at 1900. But plan on plinking with it downloaded with Berry's bullets down around 15/1600 to drop recoil waaaay down so it's more fun!

I promise to get it scratched up asap so it's a non issue! To be honest I do have a factory engraved Winchester 1886 that has a current selling point that is so ridiculously high. That actually hunting with it is pretty much a bad idea!

That is a good point! And a very valid perspective. In that respect the Marlin would be a better candidate.

Well thanks! I must have been a very good boy in Santa's eyes!

Thought some may have an interest in one of these Italian imports? After looking at the new Henry's and Ruger Marlins . I decided to try a Pedestoli 1886 imported by Taylor & Co in Winchester,Va. It is a PG Deluxe Extra lite model in 45/70. I wanted a blued classic gun. I am totally impressed...

I have a Winchester Model 70 /270W that is still unfired it's the 150th Year model. I am guessing that 1st shot would devalue it about a grand!!! E

Have been using the new 90 gr Varmagetton in my 6.5 for the last two winters on BIG Northern Maine coyotes. Having very similar results to my 25/06 with 90gr Blitz Kings. So have close to 40 down with the 6.5 now and 99% were instant kills. All shot from 300/400 yds. One of the very finest...

Best of luck on your latest adventure, hope you get the big ones

Paul, This is gone into the ridiculous stage at this point...... Question how come I can ( and hundreds of other smiths) Can take a new barrel and chamber it , headspace it and have it easily DONE in a morning ???, test fire it in the afternoon; and ship it the same day ??????? (Assuming the...
