I'm considering taking my 3x9 off of my 45/70 and putting on one of the vxI shotgun scopes. My question, will a shotgun scope stand up to the 45/70 recoil? Any personal experiences with this. FWIW, it'll be put on a 1895 guide gun that I'd like to use for woods work again, the 3x9 was what I...

What loads should I be looking to use for hogs in this round? I know that a soft point is preferable, but will a 150's or 120's load be better. Also, which manufacturer should I be looking for. BTW, this will not be for my go to gun for exclusive hogs, I'll leave that to the 45/70, this is...

I'm toying with the idea of getting an inexpensive truck gun to keep at my place. I'm looking for a gun that I can hide in the house that isn't pretty but will shoot good enough and have enough mmph for a pig. Initially this was the goal for my 45-70, but now that its been scoped, and I know...

I'm currently in the market for a smallish gun safe. I'm currently in graduate professional school and usually have no more than 4 long guns with me at any given time (pump 12 gauge, 1895 scoped, rem 700 scoped, 22 scoped) and a pistol. I'm looking for a safe because I figure its better than...

For the bowhunters out there, what are you using for hogs. I currently have some easton gold tip arrows and muzzy 100gr broadheads and was nervous on using this on hogs due to the lite weight. Should I move to a heavier broadhead, or maybe one with only two blades? What about arrows, would my...

Since deer and elk fever (as well as .223 arguments) seem to running rampant on the board, I decided that this would be a good break. How many of ya'll bow fish, if so what for, and whats your rig? Do you prefer compound or stick? I haven't done it in a long time, I just remember shooting...

Allright, so the buckhorn sight on my marlin broke the other day, and I was considering scoping it since I have a scope laying around, and mounting it would cost about the same as a rear peep would. With that in mind, would a 3x9x40 be too big of a scope on this gun? I've never hunted with a...

So, went to the range today just to make sure that my 45-70 was still hitting straight, and I noticed that my buckhorn has been broken on the rifle. Now I'm starting to consider new sights that I could use since I planned on ditching the stock site anyways. My options are 1) Order a peep...

Anyone use this website? I was just wondering if its legit, seems like a good way to cut down on the volume of paper in my house.

Went to the range today to sight in my '06 and practice with my 45-70. At 100 yds, I shot the best 3 shot group (1/2 MOA) with buckhorns on my 45-70. Only got about MOA with my '06. I'm just amazed at how steady I could hold my little lever action on the rest (a bunch of books and a towel)...

So, I've got a question about 2 types of hornady ammo that I'm shooting right now. 30.06 light magnum interbond. Plan on using this on white tail, I'm just curious what this bullet is going to do to the meat when compared to a more tradition bullet (like winchesters power point) 45-70...

I was looking at replacing the buckhorn sights on my 1895, mainly cause I've never been good with buckhorns past 75 yds. I've been looking at the williams systems, I think that the foolproof with a tru glow blade would be slick, but not sure if I need that much sight. The gun is a 45-70...
