You do know I was just joking. Absolutely nothing personal.I only live here, not from here.
So I took the Lever Action Challenge this weekend and blew it. Daddy is shaking his head is disbelief as I freaking blew a 110 yard chip shot with his old rifle. I'm sure I slapped the trigger instead of squeezing the trigger. At 45 years old, buck fever gets to me every time.
I’ll play again.

What load you shooting in your Cowboy?
Federal Fusion 300 grain.
I did put on a “sand to fit” field pad on it to calm it down a little. It shoots everything I’ve tried well, from 300-405grn. I’ve not done any hot Buffalo Bore or Petersens. I got a set of RCBS dies but am shooting up factory for brass for now.

My Dad is a .45/70 “nut”, he’s got an 1895 CB with the steel Crescent buttplate that he’s shooting some hard cast 405 grs in. He’s loading them “hot”, and that thing is a handful, so I can certainly appreciate the addition of the recoil pad!
Congrats on a fine buck!
I’ll run 4 or 5 rounds through it at the bench, but that’s about all I care for honestly.Got to hurt after a while.

That is also the most likely reason it took him almost a year to get a load worked up for that thing...lol!!!
get you a deal on a Marlin 30-30 and have it Re bored to 375. Cheaper than a Factory 375... You can et it re bored at JES for 250 bucks.I’m over here drooling at that .375 Win, and I don’t even know which one it is...lol!!!
At the rate I’m going, I’m just gonna have to wait until my FIL passes before I’ll get my mitts on one... lol!!!
That https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1115334145 looks like it belongs on the gun and isn’t that hard to put on with a little care if he needs some relief.

The old ones dont have a safety. You have to ride the hammer while pulling the trigger. Same as a cocked revolver.THE safety is on........
Mack has “crossbolt” safety off in his pic letting the halfcock position of the hammer perform the job of a safety like you do on the older ones.BW was being sarcastic in his post and i think that was missed.But anyway im in.....The old ones dont have a safety. You have to ride the hammer while pulling the trigger. Same as a cocked revolver.
Mine was a Marlin Joke as well.........It was a Marlin joke
They do have a safety. Hammer in half cock position is the safety.The old ones dont have a safety. You have to ride the hammer while pulling the trigger. Same as a cocked revolver.
