    .45 cal. Vincent/ Ohio rifle for deer?

    Hey! Thanks for your responses! As often happens in my case, I most likely didn't ask the right question. I have no qualms about the adequacy of the .45 cal. on deer. My concern is whether the Vincent/Ohio platform is robust enough to handle what would be considered .45 cal. hunting loads as a...

    .45 cal. Vincent/ Ohio rifle for deer?

    Robin, Thanks for your response! I too, am a fan of the Vincent pattern. It seems as though you don't hear too much about their use in the field - but maybe that's just me not paying attention.

    .45 cal. Vincent/ Ohio rifle for deer?

    I don't hunt anymore, but I am curious to hear opinions regarding the viability of .45 cal. Vincent/Ohio styled rifles for deer sized game (where legal...). It may be more of a capability vs. practicality discussion. Either way, I'd be interested to hear opinions. Thanks in advance!

    My 2nd Scratch Build

    Lookin' good! One of the quirks I have - after the tung oil finish has set-up and the gun is assembled - is to rub mink oil over the whole thing. Then wipe if off with a soft cloth. I don't know if that does anything, really - but to me, it seems to bring the wood's grain out a little bit and...
