The 788 is like Roy Orbison, them that know what really is what,. Love them.

Shoot spitzer bullets in a lever, one in the barrel, one in the tube, works fine.

True you only need one shot! But them 788s can put one after the other in the same hole.

Hi,

Looking for some chainsaw info, can't seem to find any around here?:)
You mean this is a chainsaw forum? I feel sorry for you Britt's,we Canadians are almost in the same boat not being able to wear your favorite six gun wile walking in Grizzly country.
Yet I rather have a 12ga loaded with slugs, that's what I bring along and it is perfectly legal. But I have the feeling it would be used on a two legged varmint long before I would ever need it against a bear!
 
I inherited a Stihl 041 FarmBoss- 20"bar from my father-in-law. I cranked it up and cut into a large sycamore log. Geez, that old saw went through it like a hot butter knife. Sweet running saw. Does anyone know how many cc's this saw is? Was this a popular saw back in its day? Do they make a comparable saw today like this one? Are parts tough to come by for these old saws? Got a good one you want rid of?

Lots of questions....need some answers! TKS
61 cc. Lots of torque but not a high revver. Heavy compared to the Husqvarnas and Partners at the time.

I live in BC. Was a Forestry technician. Spent most of my time alone in the bush. I never had to use it but a sawed off double barrel with birdshot is what some of us used. At close range it will blind a bear and mess up it's sense of smell. I also carried and airhorn which I'd resort to first so never had to shoot one.
 
Well said! Anyone that thinks a 30-30 is ineffective doesn't know how to hunt.:cheers:
Yup, still have my Dad’s Model 94 Winchester lever action he bought in the Navy. Has had 3-rounds through it and still have the spent cartridges and original Box with ammo. Nice rifle~
