    I like all of them, but especially the Browning. How accurate is it?

    Still working on the load for it. Best I got using a load I use in the Garands and 1903A1 that yields 2" @ 100 yards open sights in this gun I got about 2.5-3.5 @100 with the Browning. I have not spent enough time with it like I should.

    Looking for a .405 Winchester for the right price.

    I'm considering a peep sight for the 1895 but not sure what to get.

    Looks like you need to change your name to LevergunTexas. I don't see any AK's there.

    No crap.. I think I've had somewhere around 24 variants since 2002 and I'm down to 2 now.




    Only thing I got in the Lever department is a Glenfield model 30A , would like a nice 45Colt carbine.

    If only this was in the roadhouse. I bought a new in box Marlin Centennial in 45/70, but I'm not sure I want to shoot it.

    I hunted black bear in Alberta last year, and that was the guide's favorite caliber for bear and Wood Buffalo.
