Used to have a savage 99 in 250-3000a with a Lyman #2 tang site. Great rifle. Should have kept it.
|
I pick up the rifle and shotgun tomorrow.

Mikie whatever, I hope we can do this over Christmas holidays so I can be there to enjoy the event. Now as far as me doing it with my Ruger I'll need some practice time since its been a while since I shot it, bout thirty years actually, so I am guessing when I retire at the end of April will give me the opportunity to practice for a few months. Whaddaya say Mikie we on for the shotgun? Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man |
Grats Mike.
Bob: Henry doesn't make a 45-70. Mike you should come out to the Cowboy shoots and play with your new toy. Scott And I'd wager against both of you hitting a 2" target at fifty yards (assuming you only get one chance). However if prone or on a bench and you have a bit of time I suspect both will hit. |

Hell its worth one hundred bux just to get the old ticker pumpin' and I am guessing Mikie is full of all the stuff that make olds guys ( sorry Mikie , no offence) young studs again and is rarein' to go and prove one more time why he's "da man". I on the other hand am just jazzed beyond all reason that I is finally coming home after being gone for so long. BTW Scott what's a Cowboy Action Shooter, do tell? Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man |
John:
Here's a link to Winter Range and another to a video about it. Happens to be the largest and held right here in Phoenix. (Ben Avery) Winter Range SASS National Championship of Cowboy Action Shooting joelafives's Channel - YouTube |

Sorry about the video, cannot get You Tube here in China the Sphincter Police have the site blocked. When we get a date to witness Mikies shoot out why not join us? Cheers, John, AKA, tin-man |
Certainly. I can bring a "Toy" or two to the event as well.
|
Tinner, what's become of the idea of a caravan to bring your vehicle back to the land of the cold sun? I'll fly over the drive it back for you if you like.

Scott,
Henry has a 45-70 in development and is scheduled to bring it out in the Spring of 2012. I'll just stay with my 45LC. |
I wish they would build a 50-90 like they used to.. That is a hell of a round.
|
Henry's were only offered in 44 Rimfire originally. The 50-90 Sharps cartridge was far too powerful for the original toggle link action in a Henry. The current Henry BigBoy Rifle is an amalgam of a variety of Lever Actions but is pretty much limited to pistol caliber rounds. They apparently make a 30-30 action that could handle 45-70 I suspect but 50-90 is quite a bit longer and has never been used in a Lever gun.
I have a few 45-70 rifles that are fun to shoot including a Shiloh Sharps and a Trapdoor. |
Now I have to go back and look.
In any event, I've sent the usual culprits a short clip on the new .700 caliber TRex WTF rifle. Shoots an 1132 grain paper patched bullet at about 2200 fps. Watch the clip. It looks like fun. |
I hadn't heard about the 70 cal Trex. I remember the .577 cal from 93 and that looked like a beast but the .70 whoa. Which reminds me. You all should consider a ride out to the Big Sandy shoot . Usually happens twice a year. Next one is 30-31 March, 01April 2012.
