You don't like the "Duke" lever?

Dunno, never played with one, and for some reason, just never caught my eye. ??? No real reason.

trajectory track is more of an arc than a line, but round hits hard, just not a long range gun...think that is why they called it a brush gun more than anything. It is great for brush type hunting and ranges.

Judging by the hole it dug in the pond dam/berm today, as well as the mud I was slingin' all up in the air with each shot, I'd say it's a rather hard hittin' slug.

Besides...I don't need no long range rifle. I can't see over a hundred yards anyway.

Go with the leverworks and have it personalized - makes it more of a rifle that gets handed down to the next generation

I was actually thinking about getting my name or initials engraved on the left side of the receiver.

Even better!!

That's what I thought too.

Who did your OSU Glock? Are they local? Are you happy with the work? What's their rates?

Lever Gunleather and don't look back. Get it customized and hold onto it.

I have to Marlin .30-30's and just picked up a Marlin 1895G. the 1895G is going to get a sling from them and possibly a butt cuff.

The OTASCO 336 rifle I have will more than likely get a butt cuff and sling from them once I get the stock I have for it refinished.

Not a fan of the "Duke" large loops. Don't know why, I just don't care for them. The slightly enlarged levers are catching my interest for winter work with gloves.

GED: I ran 5 different brands through my .30-30 earlier this month at Banner. the Remington Core-lok and Hornady LeverEvolution ammo performed best at 100yds. I need to get out to 150 or 200 to see which works better. the LE ammo flyes in a flatter trajectery. that balistic tip helps stretch out the range. This year I may load up Hornady LE ammo and give it a go.

Sorry. I already sent a money order to LA Police Gear for a Galco butt cuff. I just feel like the Lever Gunleather cuff is a little too fancy for this no nonsense rifle. If it maybe had some checkering on the wood or some nice engraving on the receiver or something...maybe. But with it being just a plain ol' vanilla Winchester, I think the Galco will dress it up nicely and not over do it. The only other thing I'm gonna do is probably run a strip of leather thru the saddle ring.

As for trying out the different loads? After the 2nd shot this morning with the Winchester 150gr PPs, it hit exactly where I was pointing. I figure why mess with that? The Winchester ammo is cheaper than the Remington and Hornady and they had several boxes of it there at my local Wal-Mart for 15 bucks a box. For what I plan on using this thing for - that's perfect!
