I've tried everything from Aimpoint to Eotech, I still do ok with them... but only ok... I'm sure I'm going back to a good ole fashioned scope on the AR, just not sure I want to do it right now being so close to the holidays and all.

Not in stock, but says it's coming soon.... you can pre-order I think.

Speaking of good deals on scopes...
Midway has the Leupold VX3i 1.5-5x20 marked all the way down to $339 right now, or they did last night.
I gave almost $500 for mine last year and am not disappointed.... awesome little scope for any lever action.

I've been there too.... but there is a worse scenario... be thankful you missed him clean.
The very worst gut wrenching feeling is hitting one bad and never finding it.

Some rifles are like that.... they're rare though.
My Nosler rifle, 280 Ackley, shoots every single load I've ever tried in it to ~.75 MOA at 100 yards.
I've done it several times since I've had it, shot 5 round groups using 5 different bullets, weights from 140 to 168 grains, and it'll be a...
I don't go looking for 200 yard shots with this 41 mag setup....I try my best to get set up for 25-50 yard shots, but where I hunt is a large piece of property that is a lot of open river bottom that's really hard to pattern where the deer will show up.... they may come out at 25 feet, or it may...
I'd say they'll work fine... being as its a 45, those are already pretty big even when they don't expand, but those look like they'll do great at that range.
Almost bought a Henry 45 Colt last week for my son for Christmas, but he decided he wanted a 44 instead.
I may yet get the 45 though...
No I haven't used them myself... but yes, you're right the XTP Mag bullets are much tougher than regular XTP's.
They'll likely do nicely as long as they hit with enough velocity to expand, but at extended ranges they might not expand when the velocity drops below 1,200 fps.... but that's only...
A-Frame vs XTP.... fired into water jugs at over 1,700 fps.
Both 210 grains
A-Frame penetrated 5 jugs.
XTP penetrated 3 jugs.
The XTP is in 2 pieces, it falls apart if you turn it over... the lead falls out.
green shot

The right bullet matters.... I use A-Frame bullets because they always work... no matter how fast or slow you fire them.
If they hit above 1,000 fps, they expand just like in the advertisements.
They'd do the same at 2,000 fps...
They expand, stay together, and penetrate...XTP bullets aren't...
Deer at 100 yards with a lever gun....
357 mag, 41 mag, 44 mag, 45 Colt.... all of those, using the right ammo, at 200 yards, will have roughly the same killing potential as the venerable 44-40 had at the muzzle.
Then there's 30-30 and 45-70... both fine choices that will also do the job.
I...
I've wanted a 22 WMR lever action for a lot of years...preferably an older Winchester.
A friends dad has one that I've borrowed and used on occasion over the years, I've tried to buy it many times but he won't sell it.... he has said it is willed to me when he's gone though.
Looks brand new...
It'll mostly be the 41 mag carbine (Henry) again this year, same as last year.
Just deer for me as usual.
May let the 280 Ackley out once also.

I sent back a Nosler Custom a few years ago.... it did take some time, but I did get it back, and it was fixed.
Still the most consistent rifle I've ever fired... by far, and I've fired a few.
