    With the long reigning popularity of the 6.5mm Creedmoor, it seems nobody considers hunting at less than half a mile any longer. In my region, a carbine chambered in a brush-bucking cartridge makes far more sense.

    Buying a carbine was the best thing I ever did. I live in northern Canada in the boreal forest and it's thick brush most of the time. I dropped a 3-12x42 Engage on it and the combination of rifle and scope allows me to shoot in heavy brush and wide open fields. I think everyone should have at least one carbine in their collection.

    Thank you for another excellent topic. One carbine that would be a great brush rifle would be the Swedish M-94 carbine chambered for the 6.5x55 Swede. Will take anything reasonable in the brush, save for the biggest brutes in Africa.

  • @garyK.45ACP

    Thanks for anther great video on great guns.
    In the 1960s I was building rifles from military surplus rifle actions. I bought a Swedish Mauser carbine for a project, but subsequently found a Model 98 action would be better suited. I kept the Swedish carbine as issued and it was actually a great utility/hunting rifle. I still have it.
    In the mid 80s, I was shopping for "first deer rifles" for two sons and bought 2 Ruger M77 RSI carbines in .243 for them. The shop had one additional Model 77RSI, but it was in .250 Savage. I treated myself to that one! Since then a third son came along and he ended up with the .250 Savage. I keep him fed with handloads for it. (it's the better of the two cartridges, IMO)
    When Ruger introduced the #1 RSI, I jumped all over one in 7x57mm. I still hang on to that one. Carbines are GREAT for hunting where you carry the gun a lot more than you shoot it.
    The 6.5x55mm is one of my all time favorite cartridges...among the .300 Savage, 7x57mm Mauser, .303 British and .35 Whelen.

    Great video. I hunt mainly with a Marlin 336 , with the 20 inch bbl. One advantage of the Marlin ovet the Winchester M 94 is.........they are available in the GREAT 35 rem caliber ! Now that is a Brush gun Combo. Harder hitting than the 30-30 , and not as expensive to shoot or as punishing as a 45-70 gov. With the 6x leupold scope, can shoot it accuratly out to 200 yds , so I never feel handicaped.

    I remember the Remington Model 600 Mohawk with its conspicuous iron sights back in the early '70's. In .222, .308 and 350 Rem Mag for $167.00. They seemed handy but a little too "angular". I have one of those Miroku Model 94 Short Rifles in 30-30. Very smooth and surprisingly accurate to 200 yards with a 2-7 Leupold and the Hornady LeveRevolution ammo. The design seems to fight putting an optic on it, but it makes a difference in terms of consistency in hitting targets a bit further out.

    Some real nice carbines there. Being exclusively a timber hunter, and mainly a still hunter/ tracker, I've used a number of iconic bush rifles over the years. My favorite for about 8 seasons have been a couple of beat-up Husqvarna 1600 carbines, something about the fit and balance just works for me. I think the most important thing is to no over-scope them though, theres no rifle more ludicrous than a nice carbine with a massive scope mounted on it.

I love your entire collection and how impressive a table full of them looks! I love your walnut stocks, even if the black plastic ones are more weather-resistant.

    The Winchester 94, Marlin 336 and the Remington 760/7600 are 3 of the most popular carbines you see at hunting camps here in Vermont.
    90% of the 760/7600's I've seen have been in 30-06....
    I'm still chasing a Remington 7600 in 35 Whelen. For me it presents itself as the ultimate hunting carbine where high BC and velocity is exchanged for frontal diameter and handiness. Although... My Marlin 1895G might get jealous.

  • @herbertwessel2412
    @herbertwessel2412 3 роки тому

    Deal Sir, two years ago I got a Mannlicher Schönauer Mod 1903 build in 1920 and rechambered in the fifties to 7x57, they mounted an Oigee a sniper scope of the same period (1920) by a claw mount. Ist has an spring loaded peepsight and spring loaded cheekpiece for use with the high mounted scope. Mr Hartmann of Hartmann&Weiss Hamburg told me the hole rifle is original. They changed the iron sight into a shallow v suited for intuitutive shooting up to 60 yds. I found some months before an Heeren single shot rifle chambered in 6,5x57R wich is very impressive too, follow up shots can be fired very quickly and you can stalk uncocked with a cartridge in the chamber. Cocking and setting the trigger is the same movement. Mr Hartmann fixed the firing pin. They build at their well known workshop both Hagn and Heeren single shots. Both of my rifles are very short, less than 40“, but the barrel of the Mannlicher is 18“, the Heeren it is 25,5“. I am a hunter not a collector. Both rifles are used regulary as hunting tools (red stag, wildboar and smaller game).

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns
      @UnitedStatesOfGuns  3 роки тому

      Hello Hermann - Your Mannlicher Schonauer is a real gem - so hard to find in 7x57. The Heeren is one of those remarkable inventions - as you know - and although the firing pin is at an angle I still consider it the falling block with the most character - there is nothing quite like it. I'm glad you hunt with such superb rifles. The Oigee scope is very scarce and valuable over here - as you likely know. Thanks for taking the time to write and all the best to you. Good shooting!

    Your delivery is wonderful, don't change a thing.
    You can't cover everything, but I would include and heartily endorse both the CZ 527 and Ruger American Ranch carbines in 7.62x39. Both are VERY accurate, cheap to shoot, and even perform very well with inexpensive Russian steel-cased ammo. The CZ has very nice irons; the Ruger comes with a pic rail only. The RARR, especially, is an incredible value. Not too pretty, certainly not classic in style, but man do they shoot. Sub-MOA is easily attainable with off the shelf hunting ammo. Something close to 36" OAL, IIRC. The CZ is pricier, but oh so elegant, justcas accurate, and what a trigger. The 7.62x39 is just about the ideal deer/hog load, and pretty good on black bear, too, I suppose, with ballistics nearly identical to a 30-30 up close, and superior at distance. And great for cheap high-volume shooting.

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns

    Lots of love for the short carbine type rifles. I've like the Winchester and Marlin lever rifles in rifle and revolver cartridges. As always they're great.
    Another great one is the Ruger scout rifle. I love mine and how reliable it is. Recently I've got ahold of a Browning BLR takedown in 450 Marlin cal. It takes down and has a 20" barrel and comes in many calibers, mine as mentioned is 450 Marlin. Its great that it comes with irons and on mine I put on a micro red dot. What a slick handling and powerful rifle, I wish there were more production and availability of them.
    In the real world an 18"-20" barrel will perform very well in most situations we can dream up.

In its place I will be picking up a Steyr Mannlicher Schoenauer Model 1952 carbine with a 20" long, 270 Winchester barrel. Recoil shouldn't be too bad with 130 gr bullets and a PAST recoil pad. If I ever take it hunting the expected shooting distances should be within 150 yards.

    Most farmers around here carry carbines in their trucks and tractors to dispatch predators and pests. They are a lot handier going in and out of the cab than a full length rifle.

    Great interesting video. Thank You. I have always loved carbines (you say it correctly by the way. After all, if you write down the word Woodbine, no one would pronounce it Woodbeen!). I have a Howa Alpine Mountain Rifle in .308 Win here in the UK and I love it. It is really lightweight, very accurate and short enough for all woodland applications, whilst obviously capable of pushing out to long range. I have reverted to the floor plate magazine as the polymer five round box conversion has the mag release exactly where you place your hand and is just the WORST AND MOST APPALLING DESIGN ever! (If only someone would make a decent drop in metal one with a sensible position for the release!) First time out in a high seat, just quietly settling into position, I carefully moved the rifle slightly and managed to dump a full mag into the brush below me. So much for a stealthy arrival on scene! The rifle though, is tremendous and with a Leupold VX-R on top, is fantastic in low light. The bedded fiberglass stock is really good and of course makes it all 'UK weather proof'! You have some lovely rifles there, great collection. Stay safe and happy shooting.

    My favourite rifles are mostly carbines. The Win BB 94 in 375 Win is a great one...also the Rem 600/660 in 350 Rem Mag and A Steyer Mannlicher Luxus full stock carbine in 9.3x62. All hard to beat and easy to haul.

    • @UnitedStatesOfGuns

  • @canucklehead0
    @canucklehead0 3 роки тому +1

    Excellent and informative, I personally like the full stock Ruger in .308 which I agree with you is just a one rifle solution to many hunting situations. I think Zastava have a similar bolt action carbine with a full stock, as well they have a full stock smallbore rifle too. Just so many wonderful carbines out there, and my own .303 British Lee Enfield I would classify as a carbine as well.
    Please keep your fantastic videos coming, and I hope that you and your family are safe and healthy too!

      @@UnitedStatesOfGuns there are some of them in Norway, they were captured when german soldiers took on home from petsamo /litsa front and tried to make it home for defending germany in 45', most of the G33/40's were stamped POLITI and used by the police until they got US carbines and MP5's by the time. My G33/40 has no politi markings, it was captured from a german soldier by the end of the war of a local resistanse man. Sorry my poor english writing👍

    Emperor Franz Josef liked Ischlerstutzen short rifle and Mannlicher carbines on many of his hunts,amd the carbine either full stocked or not is something to have around for many uses. And handy to stash in rucksack or truck and carry also.

    I don't bother to hunt bear, but I should. Can't keep them out of the trash can. I have used carbines for years to hunt deer. We have a lot of recovering strip mines that are full of slashings and laurel thickets that are 12'-15' high. We have the biggest black bears in the world here in Pennsylvania, but the 336 Marlin in .35 Remington or the 30-30 Winchester is still popular for bear around here.

    One you missed is the Winchester M70 Lightweight Carbine, in 308 Win. Which is my current "to-go" rifle. Use to have a Steyr Model L, 20" bbl with Mannlicher stock. It was a rifle to be hold alas it was in 22-250 and I discovered it was not for me so I had to let it go. Love Carbines.

I brought it to the Range Chambered A round [people everywhere] went to shoot it clicked off the Safety it Fired on its own!! Terrifying! welp gunsmith said it had been modified [ my Dad was in machine Business] the trigger was so light it was easily set off, Fixed now but A Scary lesson.Thanx!!
