I have a pretty mint Thunder Ranch model 22, with the green bag. I'll sell it for $1000.00 shipped from individual to FFL, if that'll help you.

Ok, good luck with your sale. No 1's are my favorite rifle.

Any trade interest? I have some trade material. Smith and Wesson 4506 w/3 mags Rossi Puma 92 lever action 454cas. 18" factory ported Smith and Wesson model 22 45acp revolver (thunder ranch)

I'll take the LEE loader .308 for $25.00. PM to come with address request.

I am trying to learn to post pictures on the forum. I'll attempt to post a couple from my family's trip to Haiti last year (it's all I have on this computer). The group we went with are in the process of building a school. The slab they're pouring will be for living quarters to be used by...

I use a belt slide, located in the front (where my blue jean's button is). When you eject the spent round your hand is already headed in that direction (more are less). You just grab a live round while you're down there. I wear the belt slide on a belt by itself or with my pistol holster...

I think I'd shop around and buy what ever you find at the price you can afford. I don't think most people will benefit from the difference between the 44mag performance and 45colt performance when used for bear protection and normal sized hogs. A little more horsepower might help you break the...

I was not aware of the meaning of the L in the models. I did think it was funny that your handle is Lamplighter and your most frequented forum in your profile is the Lounge.

I finished off a wounded 100#ish sow last week with a 45 cal 270 grain SWC (leadhead). 45 colt with HS-6 to about 1100fps or so. The pig had been shot by another hunter through the hindquarters with a rifle and was trying to get away on her two front legs. The 45 entered through the shoulder...

Thanks for testing that out for us, fella's. 308long distance, how's the recoil on that 257? I've always thought that either the 257 rob. or 250 savage would be perfect, low recoil, deer calibers for the 77 ultra light. I may have to have a number 1 in one of those calibers.

I've got a Leupold VX-2 3x9 on my 1AB 30-06, without an offset ring. It is a replacement for an old Bushnell sportview that required a lot of "stock creep" to use without the offset ring. The VX-2 is much better. I've got a Leupold VX-2 2x7 on my 1A 6.5x55, without an offset ring. The eye...

Thanks for the info, Guys. He'll be glad to hear that his rifle is likely not defective. He says that this one is a real shooter and he did not want to have it worked on.

I'm a Ruger no1 kind of guy, but my dad is a ruger 77 man. He just got his 4th ultra light and the bolt won't close on a round that's dropped into the chamber by hand. It works fine when fed from the magazine or when the round is placed in the raceway before closing the bolt. I originally...

Thanks for the input. I think he's going to use it. He's shoping for a holster right now.

A friend of mine has a 40+ year old Ruger 22 automatic. It is in excellent condition with the red two piece box and checkered walnut, black eagle grips. SN-439032. His father in law purchased the pistol over 40 years ago. He is trying to decide whether to save it as a nice collectable or use...
