phaedra1106 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes, .44mag the newer versions (since 09-2011) have the scope rail mounting holes on top of the receiver. Price wise it's about the same as a new Remlin, I paid £845 from my local RFD all in. I got my scope rail and thumb extension off Ebay US, a lot cheaper than over here!. I've put about 100 rounds through it so far and it's shooting very nicely indeed, single ragged 3/4" holes at 25m using either 200 or 240gr cast boolits over 4.8 or 4.6gr of TiteGroup.

thepasty Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 damn it, now I'm hankering after one! Whats the cost of off the shelf .357 rounds? I've been thinking of getting a CF for the extra punch and range and one of these is appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONAH898 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Was paying £17 per 50 for .357 and £13 per 50 for .38 special but home load now as my dad and I go thro hundreds so makes it cheaper for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I will get a tang sight for mine one day, I wonder if it would help my long sighted situation having the peep closer to the eye! How far from the eye is it JONAH898? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JONAH898 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 To be honest mate never use it as have a scope mounted, only reason it's not been sold yet is the the hex screw attaching it is to long once removed and pertrudes to far and inter fears with the lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, I have a slot for the .22mag, so I could go out and get one, but I just can't get the very nice looking 30/30 cartridge out of my mind!

Underdog Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Shown this photp before. 30/30 Win94 trapper. First shot was 60yds. She ran and I tracked her through the scope. I nearly shot her on the run but she stumbled so thought she was ailing! When she did stop I put a second round just a couple of inches away from the first. That ended it. The load was something like 29grn of H322 and a Speer 150 fp. The carbine was a joy to carry! I use to load it with 110grn hp bullets for vermin and it was very flat beyond 150 yds and 200yd shots were made all the time. Bouncing bullets are a mute point....an acounting for every shot fired is required no matter what gun! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshootist Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 I went to Holts last night in Hammersmith. In the sealed bid auction (lot 3551) is a Marlin SBL .45-70 (with a pre-remingtonn serial number) that looks like it has had very little use. Estimate is £4-600, to which you would have to add 30% (25% fee plus VAT). Its on 3rd July. Holts had some very high prices even in the sealed bid auction, but for a lightly used and rare gun I thought this was a good find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of cause but it does happen no matter how careful or skilled we are and we all know some rounds bounce more than others. grandmother, suck and eggs Thanks for the effective range comments tho.

I diddna mean to sound condesending.I agree yes bullets can or will bounce and by saying an accounting mean considering....no matter what etc. In saying that I have not noticed a great deal of difference with the 357 with expanding types. My apologies :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 The bottom one in the pic I'm after Taurus do some interesting stuff. I would hunt with one of them revolver type carbimes but the home office wont let as the bullets shot from them are pure evil or something like that. Some good videos on you tube. U.

thepasty Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 no probs and thanks! I think I need a .357 in my life altho the 30.30 does look like a belter of a round but probably a bit too much for my needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
