Don't go black powder cartridge. Skip the leverbug and go straight to American longrifles. No conical bullets either, round balls only!

Buy this, and be thankful you arent autistically fucking yourself in the ass with nearly unsourceable cartridges.

nice. I envy you.
why not at least find a lever in .45 colt so you could pair a revolver with it?
that was the allure for me...

Great brush cartridge, superior to .30-30 in every way except availability.

Nice trips but black powder belongs in front stuffers!

This. If he insists on the old round he might as well take .45 colt.

I want a .35 REM and am reluctant because its an 'uncommon' and this guys is talking about fucking .45-65, although trimming brass might actually be easier than finding .35 REM...

Cool, I’m sure your local hardware/hunting store has shelves full of that specific caliber...

I would surmise that it is you who are the autist as it seems that you are unable to fathom that a gun could be owned for fun and historical interest.

>he cant order ammo from the internet
found the californian,also literally trim .16 off a 45-70 case and boom, done

.357 and .44 weren't made for 1873s and other antique levergats
there is a reason the .45 colt wasn't chambered in them either.
if OP wants to shoot real black powder with any of those he will have powder all over the action and lots of blow by

I think I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around it because I don't have the time and or money to pursue. If OP does, he should jump on it and not look back.
I can't get past the impractical part, and thats my hang up.

you know not the level of impractical guns I lust after, but I am a banker so ya know money aint a problem

may your powder burn clean and your endeavor bring you much pleasure.
crazy af banker dude.

Whats impractical about it? He can still get a rifle/revolver combo in .44-40 which is the original combo that was made popular by gunslingers of the time.

The .44-40 and even the .38-40 are more popular than ever now because of SASS and components and even loaded ammo are readily available.

Also as far as them being "old shit cartridge designs" you really need to look at the construction of these two cartridges to see the genius in them. The were designed ridiculously thin at the case neck so they would expand and seal the chamber which insured the majority of the powder went down the barrel instead of the action. This mattered a ton in rifles which is why .45 colt never worked.

did I also mention I was gonna load the 45-60s with BP and go to an indoor range?

>old shit cartridge designs
wrong poster, that wasn't me
>are readily available
thats a bonus

I will say this if you do, get it in 45-60 and trim 45-70 down then hand load. It's a lot cheaper that out of the box ammo of you can find it.
T. Bought a 1876 and enjoy the struggle of feeding it

I mean, if you want some obscure as fuck ammo it'll be fine. But if you aren't a reloader, you might want a 1892 or 94 instead.

>1892 or 94 instead.
Browning levergats a shit

Would .35 REM be enough of a 'brush cartridge' for rainforest? Common to shoot through leaves, sticks, vines , sugarcane etc... Distances almost always under 100 meters.

Or would going up to the .444 or 45-70 be a good option.

Is that your range user? Looks comfy but a lil short.

>$1300
Would a Rossi, Henry, or Marlin be an acceptable step down for a poorfag/cheapfag?

Not same user but some Henrys and Marlins are good, you don't have to drop a G to get a great lever gun.

Henry isn't a cheap brand. Some people consider them richfag guns compared to Marlins because you can get used Marlins cheap at every gunstore and pawnshop.

Even 357 Marlins? I don't think I've ever seen one in the wild.

I got a Rossi in R92 in .44 mag. Love the shit out of mine. They're a budget rifle, and can be a hit or miss...there is a giant fan following, lots of great forums that have great check lists to help you buy a good one. With out having to do any work on mine, it was always ran reliably no matter what I feed it. After market parts/mods only helped it out. Polished up the action, shorten the tube spring for easier loading, replaced the plastic tube follower with a metal one. Even with out the work or parts, I'd still be happy with mine. Now looking out for one with a octagon barrel.

Can't speak for others, but I got a Rossi in .357 and love it.

Only things I did to it were shorten the loading gate springs, and change the mag follower.

Apparently people hang onto them.

>Modern revolver in .44-40
Please. Nobody makes a modern double action in the caliber, you'd have to get one custom made from a rebored .357 or .41 magnum cylinder. Even if you wanted to go single action you still have the problem of .44-40 dimensions being all of the place, using bullets from .424 to .431 depending on manufacturer and chambers to match. It's very easy to find an inaccurate .44-40.

Good caliber, but unless you're shooting Holy Black there's nothing it can do that .44 special doesn't do better.

The hole in the plywood goes out to a 50 yard berm. The 100/200 yard has to go through a concert stand pipe

what the ever loving fuck is that? are you shooting in a cartel smuggling tunnel?

Currently applying to become a game guide or to work with a counter poaching unit in Southern Africa. The prerequisite is that each guide or CPU member be adequately familiar with a bolt-action rifle capable of rapidly dealing with dangerous game. This includes the big six (leopard, lion, hippo, rhino, cape buffalo, and elephant).

Accepted calibres range from .375 H+H , .416 WM and .460 WM for example.

Now for leverguns I've noticed they are commonly calibred for flatnose bullets, so I've had my eye on the Browning models that can take sharp nosed bullets via magazine.

My question is, though I've heard the 45-70 Gov is great for bears (especially the Alaskan Guide guns), but would it suffice in the bush as a dgr for Cape Buffalo and Elephant?

Or should I just get a 30-06 Springfield for fun and bear the brunt of learning to rapidly reload a big bore bolt-action?

Pic related is what I had in mind for a working gun if the 45-70 checks out.

If you're interested in getting a lever .22 at some point i highly recommend looking at the Browning BL-22. It's a super short throw lever that lets you keep your thumb around the stock and simply flick your fingers to cycle the action. I love mine and have used it to beat people using semi-auto guns like the 10/22 in a .22 shooting competition.

No it's at a gunshop in south MN. It is absolutely sketchy

But I like it

Whats the consensus on Ubertis? They are good right?

Oh its a musket stock variant i think. Saw one at a fudd store thats what they where calling it.

Near Rochester? glad I can shoot in my yard if thats what our states ranges look like...

Yes, very.

No Ahlmanns in Morristown I like it and the store is cool. There is a talking moose there too.

I was thinking of buying a Marlin 1895 guide gun, talk me out it.

I mean, both it and .30-30 do well in the South, where I live. Laurel gets dense to the point you can barely see through it here, and it'll go through that. Of course, those shots generally aren't 100 yard shots, more like 40 or 50.

Question is, which rainforest and what animal are you hunting.

The answer to "should I get a levergun" is always yes user
Make sure to get yourself a 22 as well so you can practice on the cheap. And because plinking with CBs is a shit ton of fun

>Make sure to get yourself a 22
too late

That sounds highspeed and cool as fuck user, godspeed to you

As for the question, I'd say ask them directly. Their experience with having to actually take down the big six is far more relevant than any user spouting nonsense about how .22 bounces around in the flesh and other stupid memes.

no

>Rossi ranch hand with a full length stock
Are they fun Jow Forums? SBR laws are a non-issue.

Get it user. .45-70 is a fun and useful caliber and it's quite easy to reload for.

Yes, very

What would be the best caliber for a lever action in the US if I did want to pair it with a revolver? .357 I think?

.357 Mag, .44 if you reload

It doesn't, and if you would have bothered to look at their energies you would have learned that by yourself.

Asking here since it seems like the most relevant place to do so:

Is $500 a fair asking price for a LNIB, Winchester 94 in .30-30 manufactured in 1978?

I'd pounce

I was about ready to, but I know people sperg out about post-64 Win 94s. Although, from what I've been able to ascertain, I believe they upped the quality on the mid-late 70s ones? I've seen some people say that $300-400 is more reasonable, but I don't know how up to date that info is.

It really is a liberating feeling once you've filled your safe with all of the boring staples, and can start buying all sorts of goofy fun shit.
