Thinkin of a trade......
« on: November 25, 2006, 05:34:27 PM »
I have a Winchester 94 Trapper in 44 Mag and am thinking of trading it off but haven't made my mind up on what.  I got out of the handi business a while back, but a Buffalo Classic cut to 26" and a small scope and a pistol grip stock, might be real appealing.

I think it was Quickdtoo that did just that a while back and it has always appealed to me as way more practical for my use.

What are the BC's going for nowdays?  I've seen regular, used, Trappers go for $600 plus on gunbroker.com

I like the big bore idea of the 44 Mag but want more than 100yd range.

Tweren't me with the 26" BC, that's Big Blue, Don cut his to 26" or 27", whacked the stock off square and added a recoil pad. I did the stock whacking and recoil pad on a BC stock and put it on a 22" Handi 45-70. :D

Sportsman's Warehouse still sells the BC for $299 last I looked, everywhere else they're $320 to $350, sometimes more, unfortunately.

Next year the Handi will be available in .444 Marlin if that tickles your fancy, just a 22" barrel tho. ;D

Yea that looks like the one, Thanks Quick.  Are those not 45-70 cartridges?  Look a bit long?

They do indeed, but I don't know what's up with that! Maybe Don will check in on it.

A 26" BC barrel will be my next project, at least that's how I feel right now.  ;)  Plan to put it on a receiver with some of those Topper Deluxe Classic walnut stocks, then add a good 3-9x40 Banner w/ 6" eye relief. I especially like the refinishing that Big Blue gives all his Handi stocks. I have a set of cinn lams that I got from him that are exceptionally fine looking. Gonna give the same a try on the TDC stocks.
