Marlin 336 stainless in 358 Winchester

I have been through this. I opted for the pof rogue. It's under 6# but the action takes up a lot of the kick. Could customize and further lighten it up with a carbon barrel and hand guard. Mine with a 2-8 vx3hd in a dnz mount is under 7#. 5 Rd mag makes it even lighter. Can also rebarrel to 338...

Marlin guide gun, 45/70

Marlin 336 in 356 Winchester, boyds laminate stock. 220 speer flat point at 2500 fps hits like a freight train. Short and easy to carry . Unfortunately was stolen from within UPS on its way to get diamond like coating put on it.

17 wsm suppressed, chasing my dog back to me. Running shot

I'm running a POF rogue, the lightest 308 AR. Just under 6# stock. Leupold 2.5-8x 36 vx3hd. Just under 7 pounds with sling and 6 rounds in the mag. Feels really light compared to my cmmg ar10. Really easy to carry all day. Shoots 1 moa with federal 180 power points. A little better with hand loads.

Do they usually give an exit wound in 30 cal?

Maplewood bullets can make you some real soft lead bullets flat front and even hollow point. Hawk bullets.ake some pretty soft heavies too. I learned all this messing around with old lever guns and now that data translates well to suppression subsonic hunting because your speed is limited you...

I would go soft lead at that speed, I use plain melted down wheel weights to mold in a 45 hand gun 200 grain and I get expansion to quarter size from 45. I have used on rabbit, deer,hogs. Pass through on deer but not hogs. I bet with a long 200 ish 30 cal it would really penetrate and...

I can't find a faster twist barrel for my 270 it's an M77mk2. Want a 1:8.5 I think

I hunt public land mostly in SC. I live in Simpsonville and enjoy Union county Sumpter NF and the land around lake jocassee. I have never seen a pig in Union the last 15 years. I do run across them all around lake jocassee. I saw some last weekend at fants Grove. I think fants is Archery only. I...

I make minimum charge subsonics and it's **** good fertilizer

SC is pretty Red, cheap too. The upstate where I live gets pretty good elevation. We call it the dark corner. Limited to white tails and pigs. But there are lots of them and the deer limit is generous. I put 5-7 in the freezer every year. There is a lot of public land. Greenville is a really...

I think you are right about the caliber difference, my 270, 556 and 6.5 all are more finiky than my 45-70s and 356. The big bore guns always are zero and I usually have some oil in them post hunting season.
