If itās any consolation, Reloading is Incredibly boring. [/quote]
Whatās did a setup like that run you, if you donāt mind me asking?
Iāve been considering investing in a reload setup so I can shoot more.

I plan to start hunting in Northern MD or Southern PA next year.
Am I crazy for wanting a suppressed lever action rifle in a handgun caliber for my bug out bag?
Wouldnāt be my worst purchase.
Has anyone purchased a silencer before? Did you purchase it as an individual, trust, or corp?

Why the handgun caliber and not the 30/30? You can get 20rds of hollowpoint for 17 and your very effective out to 150 yds.
Solely the idea that I could grab one type of ammo and use it interchangeably.
Then, while Iām working on my wish list, I could justify this gun, which Iād never heard of before. Coonan .357 mag, semiauto.
Forgot the pic

I feel like 22, 9mm, 45, 223 & 556 will be plentiful in a bugout/SHTF scenario. But why lever action?
I get the whole idea on a pump action shotgun: āIāll make this bitch run if I have toā. Does it work the same on a lever?
Reliability. Fun. Cause I want one.
Not necessarily in that order.
22lr isnāt plentiful now, I canāt imagine finding any of it should the shtf, lol. It would be more valuable than gold.
Photo is of Teddy Rooseveltās supressed Winchester lever gun. Word is he used to hunt on his Long Island estate. He attached the silencer so as not to disturb his neighbors (duPonts and Tiffanys).

Yeah, because people who donāt even shoot 22 have 3000 rounds in their safe and people who do have 10k.
Youāre probably right, but my buddy bought close to 5k rounds before he even got his rifle, lol.

When I was a tween (1974?) my dads gunsmith friend had a stainless steel, 357 revolving rifle with an octagon barrel he was trying to sell for $200.
Unfortunately for me at the time $200 might as well have been $2K
Sounds like a beautiful rifle. Those āone that got awayā stories are always tough.
Women, cars, guns, fishā¦

There is reliability and capacity issues there, but they are a joy to shoot.
I just donāt get the guyās who walk around saying āI carry a full size 1911ā like they are well-armed when thereās only 9 rounds in the gun.

No doubt, especially when the gun with 17 round capacity is $500+ cheaper.
On a seperate note, I just watched this
That is one mean looking gun.
Edit: looks like something you would mount a chainsaw on instead of a bayonet like Gears of War.
What do you guys shoot at the range?
I wasted an empty Guinness can this weekend in honor of our Irish friend in another thread. No organics at my range, so potatoes are out, but bottles with water, just water, are fine. Iām tired of bottles, lol.
I was thinking:
Golf balls
Old action figures the boy doesnāt play with anymore
What else? Iām not creative
In other news, I might come into a Remington 700 later this monthā¦ Pretty excited about it. Should cost me no cash, just need the optic.

Well, if Iām at my buddyās house out in the woods, weāve been shooting at an old water heater heās got. Weāve also shot at fire extinguishers, a washing machine, a lawn mower, and a frozen porcupine we found.
Yes, he is a total hillbilly. A real true Mainah.
Still, I like a good steel target that swings. Easy to see where you are hitting, easy to paint over when you are done, very satisfying sound, indestructible (well, for most guns they are).
Expired soda and beer cans are fun, but the favorites with my kids and I are the steel plates that move/reset by themselves. Clay pigeons are also fun to plink at with handguns and .22 rifles.
