Your gun is poop

Is the lever rifle a Winchester or a Marlin? Also, 357 Mag or 44Mag? Hard to tell in the picture.

It’s a Rossi copy of a Winchester. 16” barrel .357. Us tradesman folk aren’t on the marlin pay scale lol

Around here the Marlin is on par with the Rossi, price wise. Usually black friday a few LGS will have the 30-30 marlin for $400ish. For some reason I have no idea why, the 357/44 version is more expensive. Generally Henry is considered the "high" end of lever rifles for us.

I'm curious to see what Marlin looks like in a few years now that they've been purchased by Ruger.

SBR?

All I got to say is that if a certain room in my house catches on fire me and mine are going to run like heck away from it at warp speed......things will be a might noisy.

SBR?

This is really the only practical answer......

I had one of those years ago that I bought while stationed in Fla. Loved that rifle.
years later in calif, my room mates buddy stole it out of the garage one day and I didn't notice until it was too late.

More of a rhetorical ?

I see stock, short barrel, pistol grip. So SBR.

I only have a few that are not.

 

[RTillery]

This one's a little hard to sling, but boy, it'll put them in the same hole all day long.

 

[Brutal_HO]

OK, that's not fighting fair. LOL

You didn't say you used a cannon.

Who said you're supposed to fight fair?

Honestly when I built that 9mm AR I had to ask the same question about 20 different ways to make sure I wasn't going to accidently be in SBR territory and wind up talking to the nice ATF folks. All my AR platforms are full size but I wanted to try something a little different with the 9mm.

I shoot short-range benchrest. 100-200-300, mostly group shooting but sometimes Score. I actually won the Hunter Nationals two years ago. In benchest we shoot 5 and sometimes 10 shot groups. There are 4 classes in group shooting. Sporter, Light Varmint, Heavy Varmint, and then there is Unlimitied, which is the picture above. Just about anything goes and the class has evolved into mostly "Rail-guns". These are return to battery machines that are usually two piece, around 70lbs. The base has 3 points and the top has v-grooved rails that ride on these points. Kind of like the ways on a lathe. When the gun is fired, it recoils (slides) back on these rails. It is reloaded and pushed forward and it will return to the exact same point of aim.

There is a cam mechanism that allows the shooter to quickly go up and down from the record target to a "sighter" target. You can fire as many shots as you want on the sighter to foul the barrel, and figure out what the wind and the mirage are doing. In the 10 shot game, you have 12 minutes to put your ten shot group on the record. Rarely does the condition (wind and mirage) hold steady enough to get all ten shots off in one string. The actions are all single shot, custom bolt actions. You have to watch your windflags and mirage to judge when to start and stop and you can go back to the sighter with just a flip of the cam to see it your shot is going to go where you think it should. There are also quick knobs for adjusting elevation and windage. You have to be a dedicated nut-job to subject yourself to this madness.

All your guns are poop. Glock is the way to go. G34 gen 4 duty carry and a G43 for every day.

If you’re still rocking a g43 you’re doing it wrong. 43x with shield arms 15 round mags is the way.

I like to be able to carry it with basketball shorts without them sagging or leaving a print. It works great.
