They both shoot around an inch group. Very little recoil. The 243 brass and ammo is a whole lot easier and cheaper to get, but somehow it just isn't as cool as the 257 Rob. Everyone doesn't have one. If you're goig with a mauser action, I think cutting the military stock to fit the child is a great idea.

My boy's both swear by their custom 257 Roberts rifles. They are pretty much a handloading only option however. The oldest has killed two deer with his, and the yougest is still just punching paper. Their grandfather built them for the boys. He also cut down a military stock to youth proportions. It will take the dings and fit the kids' small frames until they get big enough for the real stocks.

That;s got to be some kind of record, assuming it is legitimate. A 100+ lb coyote would be scary.

I do it for all the reasons stated above; obsolete chamberings, lack of ammo availibility, price, and the ability to tailor a load to a specific handgun. I can load a plinking 44 mag load, as well as a full bore hotrod JHP load that hit at the same point of impact. You likely can't but both of those at your local gun shop. I can load pointed bullets for my single shot 30-30. Most of all, however, the reason I handload is that it is an enjoyable hobby. I can go into my basement and tinker all day at my loading bench when the weather is bad. It keeps me out of my wife's hair. A reloaded round of ammo is a bit less expensive than a factory round, but I can't say I save any money doing it, because I shoot more than I would if I didn't reload.

a bit pricey, but they've got the goods!!!

I'd be very happy to find one of those under my tree. They are very nice knives.

...or cameras.

My favorite reply in response to the video.

Welcome, and why not show it off here with some pics?We like Smiths.

We definitely experienced climate change!!! It was up in the 50's yesterday. I don't know if you've stuck your head out, but it's freaking COLD out there!!!!

I found a closeout ono a Sony VAIO all in one a couple of years ago. So far, I like it.

This one's gonna stick with me a while, huh?

The situation has been contained. Move along now.....nothing to see here.

Not a good time to be outside.

You are correct.

LOL! We have a winner. If mamma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

I took your advice, Jamie. Duct tape over the vents and shop vac'ed the snow. Thanks.

My wife just led me into our attic to show me two square piles of snow. She was terrified. It blew in from the roof vents. I've never seen that happen before. I'm not sure what she wants me to do about it, but it won't get done tonight! It's freaking COLD in there!!!!!

Rust?

You can add a C note for thee Redfield scope, if it's a Denver model. Nothing extra foe the Bushnell.

They aren't expensive, or weren't anyway. You don't see a lot of them now. In really good shape, I'd say $300. The Marlin will command a higher price.

Sometime when I'm bored, I might slip a few in and see what happens.

Is ammonia harmful to brass?

I'd grab em both for a fair price.
