Made it to Sacramento today and decided to call it for the night. It's a bit early, but we'll run out of allowable drive time before we reach anything else useful.

I know several people with the Creedmoor rounds. One of them actually uses it for its intended purpose (hunting mule deer in Colorado plains). He originally bought it for his middle son, but his son liked dad's 270 better, so they swapped.
The other shoots 3 rounds a year right before deer season, then might go out one weekend and sit in his truck outside town for a few hours calling it "hunting." I make fun of the second, though the first I respect a lot.

I haven't forayed into 6.5 land yet. If I did, it would be either a 260Rem, or a 264WinMag, both just because.

Actually it was developed as a target round with tighter specs than older rounds do to better technology.  It was made shorter than the 260 so the OAL will run in an AR-10 platform and people used it before hunting bullets were added and the match bullets suck for hunting and it got a bad rep that has never fully went away.   

The jokes continue because so many shooters are whinny wimps and get upset when you tease them meaning they will never be invited to deer camp with us.

If I had the money I'd build one on a Savage 99 platform and throat it to take 160 gr roundnose best and might actually take it to the public range a time or two.   

Would be fine, just like the Swedemoore to 300 yards or more and few need or can really use more. 

Jerry aka Pitspiter bought one for antelope and shoot his at the distance of about 50 yards and I asked him why he didn't take his trapdoor carbine. 

When I spotted the Turk across the table, I asked if it was a Swede and he said no, a Turk and I told him I wanted a Swedemoore and the joke was made. 

Very nice find.      And like you said it is a real JM and not a REM or Ruger.  A very much a big '+" there.

Afternoon all.

I have been looking for a rifle in 32-20 caliber for some time. My neighbor recently told me of a rifle he had seen in a gun shop in a small community not far from where I live, so last Thursday I drove to the gun shop he had told me about and sure enough they had a Marlin 1894 Classic in 32-20 for sale in their shop. After a short bit of haggling the owner and I came to an agreement, so the rifle came home with me. It is in as new condition and the owner of the shop, and I don't know if it has ever fired. I had rather it looked a bit more "old west" like a Winchester 1892 or 1873, but it is a JM stamped Marlin, so I settled for it, Anyway, here are a few photos.

What were your impressions of Land Run 2026? And what can we do to attract more younger shooters to the sport?

King Medallion,

I hope you see this.

I know I am bring this up from the past (about 1 1/2 years) but I am just curious have you bought a 32-20 rifle to combo with this Uberti Revolver?  Sort of like you did with the 38-40 caliber revolvers and the Uberti short 1873.

I still believe a nice revolver SAA needs a rifle in the same caliber to go with it.  I will never do this in a 45 Colt but yes in a 44 mag.

Well, that's how it started for me.
They pop up on eBay, but the prices are nuts, still occasionally a gem can be found.
If I see something, I'll give you a heads-up

I'd be hard press not to jump on a nice Karl Gustov.
I don't have anything loading wise in 6.5 but it's easily had, by throwing money in that direction.

 May be some late in the game though , I suppose I'll just stick with my 30'06- 03
and Krag.
