Two much fun ??
« on: August 12, 2010, 11:29:33 AM »
The NEF Survivor on top is a 357 and I've had it for several years.  I cast my own bullets, so it's about as cheap as shooting a 22, but a lot more fun. I just put the scope on it this summer. The scope is an old 6X Valor.  When I sighted it in, I had no problem hitting shot gun shells at 50 yards just resting on the hood of the truck.

On the bottom is a new to me H & R in 45-70.  Working on loading some ammo and I've got a scope to put on it.  Can't wait to get this one to the range too. Dale

 Like the survivor 357, whats the nickel barrel from? A Model 258 or another of H&R's rare offerings?
Just picked up a barrel from a 258 tho I'm going to stay with the original and use a set of BC-45lc on
it. Love to have one of the SS 45-70 myself but I am one of the unfortunate southpaw shooters and the
thumbhole is worthless. If I could get a barrel action alone for a reasonable price I will. Nice pair of
shooters. Enjoy,  Fred

Now there's a good deal.  That is the beauty of this forum.  That's exactly how we put together the 3 way trade and the .35 and .357 barrels with trotterlg's help.  It's an amazing place to be.

 Hey Spike & Pete I would consider it as I have a Grey/black thumbhole laminate left hand set but
the problem is youall would want the factory set for Boyds bargain bay prices! I'd have to get at
least a fair market price.  Fred

Fred, I'm not in the market for a stock.....well I guess I am, but not a lefty.  I'm right handed.  I'm just thinking how good it is that we can communicate.

The barrel is marked Survivor as is the stock, so I assume they are both original.  The date code puts it as a 1996 model.  The date code on the 45-70 puts it at a 2008 model.  Dale

The nickel Survivor 357 has been offered from the factory before, only current nickel model is the 45/410.
