    However, SarahG, if you want the grips, I imagine we can work out a deal you can't refuse.




    WOW - that didn't take long, eh??

    Not surprising! I'm still on a grip hunt (the stock plastic ones are kind of blah) but if you end up wanting to get rid of them, let me know!

    I've heard, but have not confirmed, that lever action rifles aren't as accurate as bolt action. Is this true or does it depend on the gun?
    I used to want a 30/30 but never even was close to needing one.

    A lot of that depends on the cartridge and the rifle. The best bolt gun will out shoot the best lever gun over long range with a cartridge that fits both. I don't believe that a bolt action 44-40 is any more accurate than a lever 44-40 though. That said, an 1895 Winchester will give anything a run for it's money in 30-40.:)

    I knew you'd smell out that lever gun conversation. :laugh:

    A lot of folks these days have never seen a Winchester 1895, they were the premier hunting rifle here in the US in their day. The 405 WCF being the most powerful cartridge until the H&H magnums made their way over here from Europe. Most commonly seen in 30-40.

    Leadeye, there has to be some old CZs out there, when are you gonna get one?

    I've had a CZ-52 for a long time. It's my go to gun when I find that I've overloaded ammo for the broomhandles. Easier to shoot it up in that than pull bullets.
