Title: It's almost Christmas, I'm tired of doom and gloom. Let's have some fun.
Post by: bkoenig on December 24, 2012, 10:26:06 AM
Post up some cool shooting videos and whatnot.  I need cheered up.  I want to see people enjoying themselves with their guns.

Since I have the attention span of an 8 year old my latest obsession is lever actions.  So, I've been lurking a lot over on the Marlin owners forum and I found this video.  400 yards with a vintage lever gun, open sights, shooting with a mirror!

As usual, you are Right on the Mark.

Now, we are going to resurrect a Huskergun Classic.

This one deserves to live forever.

Nice RobertH! 
As for the first one, Annie Oakley he is not.  Maybe as good of a shot, just not as pleasing to look at!  HAHA!


OMG! I'd forgotten about HUSKERGUN. Now I will have to start therapy again.

Just so everyone knows, that is NOT Huskergun... Scott and I just like getting him all riled-up.






It's not too far from reality though...   ;D

.357 magnum w/ Skinner sights.  A utility arm supreme.

Now that is a nice gun.  I was torn between getting a .357 lever gun or something bigger, until I stumbled on a Marlin 336 in 38-55.

They don't anymore, but the Cowboy model used to be available in 38-55.  Mine is actually a rebore job from here:

I'm not sure, but they come highly recommended by the guys at the Marlin owners forum.
