I sent a pm

I was all set to order one this morning, imagine my surprise when I hopped on the computer at 730 Central time and found they were sold out! There is definitely a market. I think a set of Sack Peterson's stag grips and a stainless ejector rod housing would be great Christmas gifts for my wife. Andy

I shot a bunny rabbit with my Hi-Power loaded with ball once. It was underwhelming; maybe hollowpoints would be a lot better. We were trying to thin down the cotton tails in my Dad's treerow. Andy

Thank you all for the replies, I think I am going to have to visit roofinspector's home town. I'm not in the market for another No 1 right now, still waiting to shoot my 45-70 to be honest. I do know one of these days I want a 1-A in 30-06, thats the only reason I even looked at it. And no, the...

There is a local gun shop with a used 1-A in 30-06 priced at $850 (+-). They normally put box and rings on the price tag if the gun has them, so I assume it is just the bare rifle, in VG condition, newer production (black recoil pad). Simple question is, how much too high are they? I have a 1-S...

Trigger guards are stainless, but Ejector Rod Housings are aluminum. Flatgate, you made me pull out my wife's Bearcat to look at the cylinder. Funny story, I bought my wife her stainless Bearcat, she was very pleased and said I was sweet, and how did I know her hometown teams mascot was the...

Hey, BigBore I'm curious why you replaced the Short Mag scope? Andy

I know the Ruger is strong, Mattsbox, but I find 28000 PSI loads kick me plenty in the Marlin. I was thinking exactly what Bob said about the price. Also 700 face to face beats 700 on the 'net with shipping and FFL fees. Here are some (poor) pics.

I bought the gun I have wanted for years, a No 1 S in 45-70. Rifle was made late 1999(?) by serial number, and is in 98% condition with box. The rifle came with a Tasco 3X9 World Class (which I took off), nice leather cobra-style sling (which I took off for now), and 26 rounds of ammo. I can't...
