RLH70

Well I picked it up today, I actually bought this and a Ruger Blackhawk 357 for $575. I wasn't going to buy the Ruger, but for $275 I couldn't pass it up. This guy has a huge collection, I told him to call me if he decides to sell anymore guns.

Welcome!

It's about time someone besides Pablo bought a gun!

That is exactly what he was asking, but it's the plane jane parkerized model so I only offered $300 and figured I would come up a little if I had too. Of course before I buy it he said I could run a couple mag's through it too. I have a feeling I will get it, I don't think there are very many buyers around here right now, heck I was saving that money for a scope to go on another project?

Well I offered him 300, I think he is gonna wait to see if he gets a better offer by the end of the week? If not, it's mine.

What's the scuttlebutt on this rig? A friend of my brother needs money and is selling his, I offered him $300 for it, 4 mags and a custom made holster, he is going to let me know this week. Apparently it is less than a year old, he still has the bill of sale.

So do you know of one for sale, or were you gonna have one custom built, because you cant just go buy one off the shelf?

Congrats Pablo!

I have a model 39 which is the great grand daddy to the 4006 IIRC? If it performs like my 39 you will be very pleased.

Sad video...

I know several people who like Kick EEZ pads.

Knives and bow's illegal too? WOW

I have a P95, trigger is not the greatest but it shoots anything I feed it. IMO it's a lot of gun for the money.

These are just my general plinking loads using ZERO 158gr JHP, so the loss of 150fps or so is fine. I will still use 2400 for my hot loads.

I have been thinking of changing from Blue Dot to Unique in order to get more rounds per pound, does anyone on here use Unique and if so how do you like it?

Looks pretty sweet.

Kinda OT, but what is the general consensus of Steve Lee in Australia? Seems like a great guy to me.

Looks like it has a Damascus barrel and tube, pretty common for the 1800's I suppose.

The length makes me think some sort of "Long Tom" but the slide and action are reminiscent of an old Spencer pump I've read about, not really sure? Looks like undummy beat me to it on the oil board....

What brand is that? Did you order one for an 870? I use the Vang SS followers in my 870's.

Pablo, you gotta get me some better pics of that rig! It's like you are teasing me!!

I would rather watch Byron Ferguson shoot asprin out of the air with a longbow, or Bob Munden shoot coins out of the air with a single action Colt.

I won't get into the caliber argument, but as far as the rifle goes, if you are in the market for an inexpensive bolt action you will be hard pressed to find one better than a Savage Axis. I would add the Stevens 200, which is made by Savage, but the Axis is going for a little less than the Stevens. Personally from what I have experienced I would not buy the Rem 770. My nephew has one in .243 and it will group no better than about 2" and that's not including the flyers. Also a buddy at the range had one that grouped about the same. Plus the rifle just feels flimsy to me. I have been shooting my brothers Axis in 22-250 and it will shoot 3/4" groups all day with factory ammo. I find that to be the norm with Savage though.

I read that yesterday, very informative. You have piqued my interest in this gun G-MAN.

What kind of modification, you talking threads or some sort of internal mods?
