I did not know about them. Did a little search. They look a bit light for my tastes, but really interesting. Bfly

VA regs allow its use in archery deer season with an annually issued medical exception permit for any person who their doctor signs off that they cannot pull a bow or crossbow. I would not be able to hunt with it in PA. So it's pretty limited. Bfly

Thanks. Interesting info. The gun Swivel makes that I was looking at can be either 77 22 or 10 22 based and uses a purple 22 blank to lauch the bolt. I'm pretty sure those are the same blanks we used to kill steers in the butcher shop stun guns. These are advertised to get over 400 fps. Bfly

I am looking into trying one of Swivel Machine's arrow guns for archery deer hunting. Im older than dirt and just finished a second round of back surgeries. I can't shoot a real bow any more. I can't seem to find a warm spot in my heart for crossbows. They're just to clunky, besides i like guns...

I owned a 250 Savage tang safety Ruger 77 in an RLS configuration. I suspect it was an RSI in an RL stock, as there was a wear mark on the muzzle consistent with what I have seen on some RSI's. It had a lot of wear. Bfly

I recently bought an SP101 327 4.2" from Orchemo, a great member to deal with. I've added a Vortex venom relex sight. Wow does that shoot. I'm planning on using two loadings, one that will be for gentle paper punching and popping the odd squirrel, the other full throttle for a finisher for a...

I set my RS up for hunting, not so much for appearance. I put mine in a Ruger Ultralight stock that I picked up on ebay. Had a trigger job done. Put on a mountain sling by Uncle Mike's. Im thinking of a to red pad to replace the hard red pad. It currently wears a Kahles 3x9, and the backup...

I've had several Single six hunters and a single MkII Target. The Mk II was much more accurate. With a revolver, there are multiple chambers and forcing cones that have different alignments with the barrel and you have a varying space for gas to escape. Just an awful lot of places for things to...

What is the new length of pull? Thanks Bfly

Back in the dark ages, I found you could, very carefully grind and file a 22 mag case so a long rifle or long would fit inside and you could shoot them. There used to be a fellow Ace something that made an insert that would fit in a mag chamber and allow you to shoot long rifles that way. I...

It was a long time ago, maybe 2005. I recall it being flat black smooth, at least that's my memory. Don't bet big money on it. My thought when I saw it was 'that would be a good idea in the squirrel woods.' At the time, i was missing squirrels with a blue target Mk II. People were worried about...

The one I've handled, again, if my fading memory is correct, it looked sort like a tape. It looked die cut on that one. Bfly

I've seen several Mark II Competition models with this tape like cover on the slab sides for sale recently. I recall seeing one come through one gun shop where i was working. As i recall, it looked like it was factory looking or at least well done. Is this a factory thing or an after market. I...

For Sale Ruger 77 458 tanger stock. There are cracks that I've tried to show and highlight as well as the chipped out tang. There are scratches in the finish as well. So, this is a project stock. It has the steel recoil plate. $85 plus shipping. Thanks for looking. Bfly
