BIGBOY RANGE REPORT

billy · 02-24-2008, 02:19 PM

well i just got back from a day at the range.
i got there ,stoked the outdoor woodburning stove and got to work.
i didnt shoot paper today .
instead i set up a metal pig at 75 yds.
1st shot...nailed it!
i didnt hit it everytime but i shot the snot outa that pig.
it was snowing hard.
there were two guys from wisconsin there that said it felt like july

.
i even hit the pig with the raging bull!
the two guys loved the bigboy so i let em have a go with it.
that thing is smooth as butter, and pretty to boot!
the buckhorn sights are pretty good.

this rifle would make a good home defense weapon.
short,powerful and fast.

The Marlin leveractions in 357...41 and 44 magnum would make excellent home defense weapons too.
The tubular magazines hold plenty of ammo.

billy how many cartridges does your rifle hold ?

billy · 02-24-2008, 02:48 PM

10 shots.
if that dont do it.....
10 1/2 inch holes in anything has gotta have some kinda effect.

It should leak like a sieve.

billy · 02-25-2008, 05:51 AM

jerry · 02-25-2008, 06:51 AM

i want one also but i am wondering where will my right hand go on the stock?
and it would cover the serial number.
AND i would have to drill some holes.

billy · 02-29-2008, 10:09 PM

henry told me tonot worry about it and go ahead.

bigbuddy21 · 02-29-2008, 10:37 PM

billy, hows the recoil on your bigboy? i'm thinking of getting one in .44mag

billy · 03-01-2008, 05:38 AM

the recoil isnt there..
there isnt any!
ya know? if i wasnt setup for reloading and didnt already own a set of sixguns in the same caliber i would have gotten the 44 myself!!

Skat · 03-02-2008, 03:23 PM

Ok, whats a bigboy? I need to get a levergun eventually. .44 mag sounds good. They make one with some brass on it hopefully.
