Deer season is here, and with it, a new rifle, one I have wanted for 30 years. Winchester Model 70 in .270

Thomen · 11-08-17, 07:42 AM

My newest acquisition:

Marlin 1895 G in 45-70 Gov

^ Nice! I still shoot an original trapdoor Springfield 1873 and Shiloh Sharps Cavalry carbine in 45-70.( the only round I reload actually) My only lever-action is a Henry 'goldenboy' in .44 magnum.

I haven't owned a firearm in decades but I've become hooked on this guy's videos. Here are some interesting ones:

with a correction video regarding the accuracy:

and he also has some videos from action matches:

The .270 is a sweet round.

Yeah, and with the cold weather coming in, I will be in the deer blind this evening

My next firearm will be a lever action. I have an old Winchester left to me by my grandfather, but I want to preserve it. I'm going for something like this, just tell me this ain't the most beautiful rifle

Of course, I will have to wait until this spring to cough up the money, if I get a tax return.

A buddy of mine has one, very sharp looking!

Good to go if you have the proper permit that is ...

Excuse me. That's not a gun, that's a cannon.

Not something easily concealed in t-shirt weather that's for sure.

This is my self defense equipment:
A Umarex build Walther P22 in 9mm PAK.

What the hell is 9mm PAK you ask? It's a blank cartridge caliber but it shoots more than just blanks. Mine is loaded with CS and Pepper.
How effective is that? See for yourself (and this guy was prepared for it):
(It can't be rinsed off with water that's why they have to use milk, or anything else that contains fat)
That's all in terms of firearms I'm allowed to carry here and even for those you need a permit.

I don't think one really needs to carry one here in Germany but being the depressed guy full of self doubt and an inferiority complex that I am I think it feels good to have an option in your waist band if push comes to shove.

When I finish my AR build I'm going to buy a pistol.

Looking at Walther, HK and Sig

That will do the job, that's for sure. I don't think it's a good idea to shoot a friend in the face with it, though, seems kinda dangerous....

There's not really a need to carry a firearm in the US either, as long as you avoid the inner cities. The odds of encountering a criminal are super low...

New shooter here. Just bought a Ruger rifle. I was looking for the best air rifle on the market. I found that website and they are recommending ruger rifle. Thus, bought ruger. But, I have not any experience about the rifle. I should join this forum before buying that rifle. However, looking forward to learn about shooting and hunting tricks from this forum members.
