300 Savage and 243 to match.
Family heirlooms from grandpa and still out every year with my 2 sons.

Have the 45-70 Marlin dialed in for an upcoming hog hunt in Oklahoma:


Am anticipating shorter range shots so I zeroed at a mere 50 yards with handloaded 350 grain Hornady RNSP bullets.


Ya, that's only a 50 yard target, but I'm pleased.

Regards, Guy

That seems like a great rifle/cartridge to kill pigs with.

Range day yesterday.
160 FTX and Leverevolution powder, handloads.
Getting all the “tweaks” settled and a chance out to two hundred.
Bottom shot is with the top of the target resting on the bead, and the top two are with the bead resting on the top of the target.
I’m averaging around 2355 FPS with this recipe and the results are very good for me.

I just recently got this Marlin model 1888 in a 38-40. These are very scarce. This is a topic object which Marlin didn’t make very many of. As old as it is it’s in exceptional condition.

Not a great photo, but proof it does, in fact, come apart.

Marlin made it to a prairie dog town…

I have a couple whitney kennedy's in 44 40 that are both working and firing rifles. And a whitney burgess large frame that I am in the process of restoring. I will try and get some pics up today! In the meantime is there anyone else that has any parts or schematics for a large frame? Im missing some pieces and would like make this rifle at the very least cycle correctly.

Whitney Kennedys were all the same frame size. I’m not sure why people call them large and small, as they are the same.

I have a Whitney Kennedy SRC in 45-60. They are fairly scarce…

 

[Tarditim]

Possibly on the Kennedy's but I assure you that the Whitney Burgess there is 2 different sized frames.

That is the perfect antelope caliber. Nicely done!

Whitney Kennedy is what I mentioned, they were the same size frame

In terms of mechanical pictures, here a few from Maxwells Book on Lever actions. There are many more in his book…

Excellent! Thank you Shrapnel! I wasnt sure about what was listed in the book. I will definately have to order a copy. To bad there wasnt the the measurements of the parts in there!
