A 170 flat nose 3030 tends to have quite a bit of authority, and doesnt seem to be lacking in the bang flop department out to 150 in my experience. Biggest thing Ive shot with mine was a scrub bull...

What Josh said. Pistol cartridges and .30/30s to a lesser extent get found to be lacking even at shorter ranges on medium game. Quick follow ups don’t cover for it. Easier to load a 308 back a...

Get a BLR in .308

As a bit of a lever gun purist, I'd say a Winchester 1894 in 30-30. Dependable, balanced, and 30-30 has knockdown power out to as far as the open sights will work for you. Suppressors and scopes...

All the centrefire Henry’s lever guns are steel, it’s the .22 rimfires that have pot metal receivers.

I have two, a Marlin .44 Mag and a 45-70 which is obviously not a pistol chambering. My .44 Magnum is my favorite rifle. The others are great, but the .44 Mag is the most serviceable and...

Agreed the BLR's are good, but heavy and unbalanced compared to the slick 99.

I had a 30/06 for sale before Christmas. The BLRs are great, a little on the heavy side, but fun and easy to use. Definitely worth a look. Especially the takedowns. Saw one a few years back in 450...

Right no one said it but the browning BLR is a really good rifle once you work the trigger which coming from the factory is a right @#**%!!!! I’ve shot loads of stuff with mine. Mine is the original...

I've been seriously considering similar to what one of the members here did with a subsonic .308 Baikal. Except mine is in x39. Clubbie maybe? Agree about being a sweet lil bush rifle.

I would love to give a single shot Bergara 300BLK a go with factory subsonic hunting ammo* and a suppressor. https://www.hornady.com/ammunition/rifle/300-blackout-190-gr-sub-x-subsonic#!/#features...
