I picked this up last month and added the Lyman sight. It's a post '64 .30 - 30, but old enough that it was drilled for the sight. I'm going to sight it in today, although I still have to tap out the buckhorn and get a wedge to fill the dovetail. I was supposed to go bowhunting for hogs this fall, but job related stuff put the kibosh on that. It looks like I'll have to wait until this spring for my bacon fix.
Who's going hunting? Whatcha gonna git?
You should try being in Assunpink WMA the day after they release pheasants. I’d recommend type 2 Kevlar and some pepper spray for the dogs.
Sounds purty.
Honestly my favorite rig........:o)
Careful hand-loading and commercials loads make it a all round rifle for everything I hunt. Very rugged with the OEM laminated stock and a aftermarket pachmayr decelerator recoil pad that has the toe cut and reduced in length to allow use with cold weather clothing etc .
A keeper.....!!
I got my SS check so I'm off to buy a Mossberg 500 or 590. That will complete my FR Gun Club Trinity.
Handgun / Long gun / Shotgun
I was worried about the effect of recoil on my ribs/sturnum, but the Dr. that did my quad bypass operation checked my over last week and gave his official Okey-Dokey. Also, I have a Compstock on order that will help with felt recoil.
A guy I used to hunt with liked to hunt rabbits with cast bullets from his .45-70. That’s versatile.
Button bullets..... I use em as well.
