New deer slayer

[shawkpilot]

I'm going to go "Old School" on Bambi this year. Sold a couple of guns, and just picked this up.

Nice!
Here's mine.

1894 Marlin Cowboy II limited. 24" barrel, .44 mag , and brand spankin' new.

Had to sell this to get it.

Which was a shame, it was a great shooting ol gun. And the wood was really nice on it, too. Also a .44. A buddy of mine got the henry, and thinks the lever action is really smooth. What do you think?

Nice gun!! But isn't old school, shooting with a bow? A rifle kinda takes the fun out of true deer hunting.

What kind of ammo have you been running through it?

Can't we go back to dropping rocks on there heads, I mean really itsnt that truly old school?

Marlin? Rossi? What brand and gauge is it?

Umm...don't think the rock thing would work...the oldest old school would have been a spear.

Henry Big Boy, .44 mag.

I guess I could start throwing rocks at them. I would probably get one in my front yard around midnight under the bird feeder. Talk about hunting over bait with a silencer!

I tried bow hunting. It's ok, but there is no recoil or a loud noise to let you know to start field dressing.

I thought the oldest of the oldest was chasing them off cliffs? Anywho, congrats on the new Slayer.

Is that Big Boy drilled and tapped for a scope mount?

 

[Redskinsfan]

My understanding is that the Henry Big Boy is an excellent rifle, it sure looks nice too.

Congratulations on your new rifle.

I got my deer with a lever rifle last fall, it is fun. I am "old school" too.

It is not tapped, I think you would replace the rear sight with a mount, but I'm not messing up those sexy lines. Can't wait to shoot it!
