I love my .460 XVR shoots 2" groups at 200yds

I'd jerk the remote trigger of a machine rest shooting that thing.

My ol man was an antique dealer and brought home an old 44-40 revolver and a box of shells when I was a teenager, I was a gun nut and he asked me if I wanted it , I shot it once and said no . What was I thinking, Dang thing was in mint condition.

I've heard a TC Contender with a super 14 barrel in 30-30 with factory round nose 150 gn pills works pretty well on dinner out to about 150 yds, but again, that's just what I've heard.

I had a super 16 in 223. Shot the 30-30 you describe. 150 with roundnose is about right. The favorite with the guy I know is the 125 Ballistic Tip. A friend also shoots a 45/70. I have never shot that gun.

I shot the Magnum Research BFR 45-70 ONCE. It was un-fun.

45-70, regardless of platform, just makes me go............ICKY. I've shot 45-70 one time. It was a lever gun and, as SDMF so eloquently put it, it was un-fun.

Had a roommate who bought a 45-70 Mosin nagant and he thought it was just the baddest gun because he could put a bayonet on it. Then he shot it offhand for the first time. Never heard another word about that gun.

My cousin had a single shot 45-70 handgun. Why? No effing clue.

Upon further consideration, the Desert Eagle .50 AE is almost certainly made for queers. I'm happy to announce I'll be buying two. LOL

You should have the gold-tone model. Golden Eagles belong with Silver Pigeons.

While on the topic of wheel guns. Any body ever use a 357 mag to kill a deer? Handled a ruger gp100 with 6 inch barrel the other day and kinda really liked it.
