Put some chamos on the lever today makes it easy on the knuckles when levering the rifle. I have some hot loads too hot for sass to shoot up and I have coffeee can of 44-40 that are too long to shoot in the 73. Since my truck still waits on me to get it out of the shop. I am going to the range to just shoot the day away relax and enjoy the day.

sounds good.........

your marlin is a 45......right?

Snuffy

Yes sir it is but its not good for cowboy shooting with the liter loads as is gives ya blow by in the eye. But I do use it shooting porker. I am planing to put a Lyman rear apater sight on it soon and a full buck horn on my 73. I was going to trade it off or sell it but its too nice of a gun to do that. And I can use it on yotes as well when they are close a 250 gr hollow point sure makes a mess of them. Not sure if it would be enough gun for hog. But I could always go hog huntting with deadeye lol.

So how'd the shooting go? The gun make you smile?

Snuffy

Well now let me tell ya pard I had here one of those deadeye moments and I didn't make itr out to the range. I know I know but I sure plan to make in the morning fer sure.
Actually the car that I have been loaned is having transmisson problems and I wanted to check with the owner before I traveled that far. He gave his blessing so its range time for sure.

deputy125

dang..........this keeps up and you will be a mounted shooter for sure as all you will have left is a horse.........

been there as i just got thru putting a bunch of money in my old truck......but it ought to get me where i want to go now i hope..............just can't drive fast as she drinks the gas.......

Bountyhunter

Well better luck today snuffy. I know how it is to plan to get to the range and then don't. I do it all the time.

Snuffy

I talked with the owner of the car he said drive it if it breaks down call him he will come and get me. So I am glad of that. Its off to the range today hope I make it there and back lol.

Bountyhunter

Ok so how did it go?

Snuffy

I had a blast, just sat back and enjoyed the day shooting at the 207 target missed more than I hit but I had fun just the same. I shot up all the 44-40 that I couldn't use in the 73 and the 45's that were to hot for sass. Two 3 pound coffee cans I have had a blast.

b.roberts

sounds like a great day.

Snuffy

It was I stayed out there and shot until it was almost dark. It was really nice.

Bountyhunter

Well I'm glad you made it finally. I need to find a place outdoors to shoot this year.
