The smaller calibers in a handy true rancher carbine rifle lever action are marvelous 👌! From pest control to predators even deer and easy on the shoulder and fun too boot!

Great video Mark!. Just the right amount of information vs. shooting. It's a bugger keeping track of your spent brass in the tall grass isn't it? A metal detector if you have one works wonders. I do a lot of reloading for most of the Winchester calibers and would enjoy seeing you put together your specific loads for the ones you shoot. Will look forward to the next video.

Thanks Titan! I'm glad you liked it. Great suggestion! I've been trying to film at scenic locations rather than a range, but it's amazing how good brass can be at hide-n-seek in the grass! I lost quite a few on my first couple of shoots, but started taking a detector with me and it solved it quick. Will likely add some reloading content when the snow flies and I'm cooped up in the shop over the long winter.

I inherited a Model 53 44-40 with a serial # 10xx, was serialized on September 26, 1924. Love shooting it so I'm glad I stocked up on ammo for it before 2020 happened lol. Great video! You earned a subscribe and a like!

I also have a model 53 in .25-20. Great little rifle and I love the 92 carbines and rifles. I once saw a .44-40 version but the guy was holding it for his daughter’s future husband and as much as I wanted that rifle, that was too high of a price for me!! 😢

I wonder why the bolt action became more popular? Heavier calibers? I suppose buying a cheap milsurp bolt gun would be a budget friendly option, vs a brand-new lever gun.

As for the gun buying process with the wife , God bless you and good luck! He he he 😂! Have to do that little dance myself ! P.s. Browning make some lovely little lever guns in .218 bee ,25-20 , .32-20! Owned all of them and had to sell the because of an ex- wife! Long story anyways. Great guns too collect and hunt with! And yes they are very fun to shoot! Work well for ladies and kids or kids at heart !

I'm very lucky that my wife is a serious gun collector, too. Makes my addiction much easier to deal with. I haven't had the opportunity to shoot the Brownings, but I've been told they are very nice little rifles. Thanks for watching!

I have a Model 53 that I inherited in 44-40 It is in excellent condition. Do you know what they are worth?
@thecinnabar84424 жыл бұрын
If it has a high percentage of original metal and wood finish, it could be worth around $3,500. If it's been refinished, it would lose it's collector value and would be worth around $1,200 as a shooter.

Odd question. What different species of game birds do you have living on the Cinnabar?
@thecinnabar84422 жыл бұрын
Let's see - at various times, we see geese (Canadian, Dusky, Snow), many varieties of ducks, quail, grouse and chukars. They're not game birds, but we also have several Trumpeter Swans in residence on the ranch.
