There's an inside story to me doing this,..from another forum (AO) and of Course my Old Buddy Chuck Nelson

Nice work, sealhunter. Love 'em levers!

 

[blargon]

Sure, but can ya hit anything?

 

[Toomanyguns]

I would have been impressed if you hit 5 apples off a barrel of screech without damaging the barrel.

 

[Can-down]

Wow a lever is faster then a bolt..... thanks.

5 shots in 2 seconds is pretty quick ( even though you feel it's pretty average) at a 50 yard target/threat.
I think if you slowed down a hair say to 4 seconds you might improve your accuracy but if an animal is right on top of you say under 15 yards and closing then blasting like you did would be the way to go.

Were you shooting a target?

Results?

So the key is to have the best of both worlds and replace your 30/30 lever with a 7mm-08 lever.

That is WRONG on so many levels!

Shot at a stump at just under 40 yrds,...hit it 4 times...one hit in front..

These demonstrations of fast shooing remind me of a grave marker in the old boot hill cemetary in Tombstone Arizona.
The grave marker, telling of the man burried there after being the loser in a gun fight states, "He shot often enough, but not straight enough."

SealHunter : BoooYahh! Want to hunt Whitetails outside Ottawa? you're faster than most with Remmy Auto-jammers! And Humble. Cheers, P.

Nice example of what leverguns are capable of. i will back you up on the fact that they can be shot even faster than in the video... hell, i can shoot my 444 almost as fast and still hit in a 12" circle at 40m... not quite as fast due to the recoil, but almost. and that hit's HARD! but never the less, a 30-30 levergun can be shot with decent accuracy very quickly, IMHO on par with a semi auto but more reliable.

 

[Woodsman]

That's some very fast shooting for sure. Faster than a semi? No way.

while all this is fun,...pretty little relevance to hunting...

 

[Toomanyguns]

In terms of relevance to hunting and protection from charging beasts, same can be said about shooting at stumps.

 

[Northman999]

That's fast!

Maybe I'd better start looking for a reasonably priced 30-30 truck gun...

 

[daveg01]

Lever guns rock!

Just don't short cycle it...

That was my point...

Well done seal, much faster then I could ever hope to do. Nice little popper by the way, love the old Marlins.
