Sacrificed a couple of pistols to do it, but felt so right to have those two Marlins back, I have no regrets at all. Haven't missed the pistols, at all. Yup, sometimes you don't know what you got till it's gone, as they say.

I wore a padded high power shooting jacket shooting those 500s but still... I bet the muzzle would jump three feet. | |

Now that my son is married and somewhat settled down, he and I have done some gun trading. He is going to inherit them all one day anyway so I have started to pass some of them on to him when we get together. We have a rule that guns that we trade or give to each other can't be traded or sold without the other's permission. He is as bad as I am though, he'll keep them all. | |

Here is my newest bear gun, A Smith and Wesson 500 Magnum Revolver 4" barrel Big Rock Edition. S&W says it will stop any animal walking on earth and after shooting it I believe so. I shot it for the first time Sunday night with Hornady 300 grain Custom ammo, it was a blast (pun not intended, but funny anyway). The gun is set up with specialized Hogue grips, muzzle brake, etc. to help reduce recoil, needless to say it is a handful, but not as much as I expected. I shot about 10 rounds, 1 single handed. It is not a handgun for the beginner or the faint of heart, however I have shot a 44 Mag with a longer barrel (I can't remember the maker though) that kicked harder. S&W did a great job designing this gun and I really do plan on bear hunting with it. |

I once traded my No 5 Jungle Carbine for my first Henry. Then I felt naked without the JC because I had owned it since I was 16. At least the guy let me buy it back and I kept the Henry. This was in the year 2000.

I built this gun to carry hunting as a sidearm . The factory ammo is loaded for black powder guns at level #1 and level #2 or 44-40 HV [ high vel ] ammo the factory made for 92 Winc and not for Colt pistols or 1873 Winc rifle . Level #3 meet or excess the 44 mag and can be shot in only modern guns like Super BlackHawk or new 92 actions . ![]() |

50-110 when you have to absolutely and positively kill something dead. 5400 ft lb at the muzzle. 22 FPS at your shoulder. |

That would be a serious thumper by any standards. Nice looking, too.

My late father hunted with a Rugar .44 Magnum rifle. I am looking for, but am in no hurry to purchase. I want a Big game rifle that will take down Big Game 400 – 1000 plus pound animals. I am thinking a 45/70 but I want a Brush – Gun, and Lever Action as well as it has to be built very well, solid, very reliable – with an iron peep –sight, that’s for the type of Terrain I hunt in. There is one on the market, a Pedersoli and Cabela’s give it a five star rating, at a price of 1, 699.99 - but it is twice to three times the coast of most Lever actions and it has a terrible reliability record with many chamber loading failures – Hanging up on the levering. Which basically turns it into a desperate War –Club. Its puts the hunter into a very bad situation when a very needed bullet jams up. -I have considered a .444 / I’m considering a .300 magnum as well, but not sure what actions are available in .300 magnum. Caliber Rifle. The .300 Win Mag. Is a parent case – 375 H&H – Bullet diameter is a 308 in (7.8 mm) case length at 2.62 in. (67mm) with a max pressure at: 64,000. But it has to take down up to 1000 – 1200 pound very pissed -off Game Animal. But that there Bear Gun is fine and sweet. |
