EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

I some how talked my wife into letting me get a new gun. ;D I think it should work really well if the dogs are gettin killed or one of those unforeseen moments.

What caliber did you get?  I looked at one of these the other day in a .22. I think they are called a mares leg.

Yeah there called a mares leg. This ones a .45 long colt.

Man that is a hoss in that caliber, have you shot it yet, I bet it is LOUD haha.  Does it kick like a "mares leg" ha

looks like it should git her done. let us know after you shoot it.

Awsome rifle I love the Winchester levers.

One question can ya sling it like tha WAYNE yet?

cool lookin gun but why not just carry a pistola, although i have carried my little 357 mag carbine but leastit has a full stock and barrel. but still looks cool like the gun josh randle carried in the old western series

I ain't tried the wane sling yet. But it is loud real loud. But no recoil to speak of. It has a really smooth action on it. Still got to get used to the big loop. I did carry a .357 for a long time, this one I'm thinkin will be a little easier to keep up with and not come out of the holster like my .357 did a few times when runnin to the bay.

Have a buddy with about the same gun his daughter deer hunts with it a true shooting gun and not loud at all.

I guess you dont shoulder it ? sling attached to butt plate. What is over all length? I want one!! Its too COOL!!

Dang I got beat to it. LOL I've been looking at the rossi version called a ranch hand in a 357 and I'm bout to break down and get it. They are sweet lookin' lil guns. Let us know how it shoots. Did you get the holster you can get for them? I'm figuring you didn't since you got the sling. Now you've really got me wanting one LOL.

It's 24 inches from tip of barrel to butt. I didn't get the holster for it. I've got a friend that does custom leather work so I'm gonna see if he will do a really nice one for me.

I have a set of original 1873 Winchesters in 44/40 and 38/40. I shot the 44/40 it also has a pistol type cartridge and like this one almost zero kick. Must be the type of cartridge being shot in a rifle. Duno. But perty cool.
You need to saw it down and make you a pistol holster out of it. That way you can quick draw. I promise If you have anybody that wants to give you chit in the woods. They won't after they see that tied to your leg.  MAMMA!!!! ;D  

I like it also, when i first saw it i didn't realize it was so short. If you don't mind, what kinda price would one like that run?

A little over $500.

Thanks....seems like it would be a good truck gun too.

Gotta love a new gun! Good choice too! You can never have too many. Here's my '92 winchester takedown in 45 Colt. It was highly customized by Doug Turnbull. I've only taken it out of the box once and haven't shot it but I want to. Just don't want to beat it up like all my others.

That is a COOL piece of equipment---

 I know the how it feels to lose a pistol. Its not a good feeling when you pat your holster and your guns not there. I knew the general area I lost it in and we looked for every time we went hunting. My buddy found it several months later. Luckily it was stainless and it only had a few rust spots on the bottomside.

That's a nice piece!! I love my model 94 30.30 it was my first deer rifle I've had it 31 years and it's still my favorite.

Has anyone tried the LeverEvolution 45 Colt ammo yet? Or on a hog? I'd love to try it in my gun.
