Innocent Bystander

Back about 15 years ago, I had a Browning hi-wall. Great rifle. One time, I was shooting at a buffalo across the lake at Railhead in Williams, AZ. The first shot I hit the buffalo and the spotter with a scope called out "hit on the head." I proceeded to hit it the next nine times in the same spot. When I was done shooting, the spotter asked me why I continued to shoot at the head when the body was so much bigger. I answered, "Well, I couldn't see the darned thing, so I just kept shooting at the same spot." Anyway, back when I had mine, i understood that the Pedersoli only put the hammer on half-cock when you levered the round out, where the Browning/Winchester put the hammer on full cock. Not much time to cock the rifle, but having it on fulll cock when ejecting the round would save you a fraction of a second on each round...

My hourly wage in 1972---$1.25

Here's mine. The one in the top center is a Hamilton railroad watch that my dad used while he was a bus driver in the 50s.

Yeah, I thought it was high when it was 1100!

looks like $1 gold pieces are running about $550, double eagles ($20) are at $2300 and up. Good luck!

Might want to move this to the Classifieds.

No, but they were made at Doc's Saddlery in Las Vegas a number of years ago.

Howdy Pards! Cleaning out the old gun safe and came across this 12 ga Rossi hammered double coach gun that I don't need anymore. I had the barrels hard chromed inside and out to make it easier to clean. Barrels are 20 inches. It's in great shape and just waiting for some cowboy to use! Price is $495 plus $75 for shipping in a hard case FFL to FFL. USPS money order preferred but will take a personal check (will wait to ship till it clears).

I would suggest a 270 Moderate recoil, ammo is available almost anywhere and lots of rifles to choose from. As mentioned above, the OP is going to have to determine how much recoil he can stand. I will say, I've had two rotator cuff surgeries on both shoulders (4 total), not the same as a replacement though, and can shoot a 30-06 quite easily.

Howdy Dawg! Doing okay, got a little back problems and arthritis as mentioned. No rust, corrosion or pits anywhere on the pistols. I'm sending you a pm.
