    Midway has 25-20 wcf ammo

    I'd love to make them from 32-20, especially for field use I don't mind losing. But I've never been able to do it, I lose 30-50% of the cases to crushed shoulders ever time.

    Midway has 25-20 wcf ammo

    I just got a product notification last evening that midway has 25-20 wcf 86 grain ammunition in stock. About $119/box if I remember correctly. the brass alone is worth that!

    Rossi Lever Actions

    Jumping into this thread late. I have a stainless 16" bbl .454 casull model with the soft recoil pad and fiber optic sights, it loves the 300 gr hornadys. It's my go to nasty weather (snow,sleet, rain) deer gun. I added the top mount peep and wanted to do the springs, etc. Have the kit with...

    17 Mach 2 Bearcat?

    Thank you. It reminds me to always listen to the advice of experianced people. I'll stick with my bearcat and I too have plenty of shorts and longs and lower or std power lr's that do work well. The comment about the 17 mach 2 being louder also surprised me, I didn't expect or think about...

    Bearcat differences

    Wow, thank you. So if I can find a brass color trigger guard I can simply put it on my existing bearcat, needs a new ejector rod housing as well as the old one is scratched and dented. Thanks!

    17 Mach 2 Bearcat?

    Does anyone know of a gunsmith that converts .22 LR bearcats to 17 Mach 2? A new cylinder and barrel or liner would be required. Thinking smaller hole in pelts in a small trapline gun. Know about the Kimber semi-autos, huge Taurus guns and Rugers HMR's. Was looking for a single six...

    Bearcat differences

    Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the old brass trigger guard Bearcats and the newer ones? Is it just the transfer bar inclusion or something else. There were 22 mag conversions so is the bore diameter less desirable for shooting just 22 long rifle, longs and shorts? I...

    Bearcat 17 Mach 2 conversion

    That's what I've been thinking about but the mach 2 should have the same pressure as a 22lr. the wsm has higher pressure than the mach 2. the Taurus comes in a 2 1/2 mach 2 version but looks to be too big a gun for the round. I chose the mach 2 to base the conversion on because I figured it...

    Bearcat 17 Mach 2 conversion

    not sure why, unless the bearcat barrels are hard to remove. The semi auto’s have .17 bbls avail but thanks!

    Bearcat 17 Mach 2 conversion

    Hi all you conversion experts! does any one make or do a conversion of a bearcat from .22 LR to 17 Mach 2? Seems like a nice little match. Would there be anything prohibiting it? Like maybe the polymer tipped Mach 2 too long for the cylinder? BisleyBuff
