12FLVSSH&R and Marlin Talk shut down
Well, Marlin has made the decision to shut down both the Marlin Talk and the H&R Talk forums. That bites. I have been hanging out at the H&R forums a lot in the last couple months, that was a good bunch of guys. I hope they find their way over to the single shot forum here. I don't like the format of the Yahoo forums at all.
Anyway, who here likes their Handi's? A few of us just passed around a reamer and took our 357s to Maximum.

cummins cowboyi know that really sucks. I wish they would have at least gave us some advanced notice. It would be really kewl if everyone would just come over here, maybe saeed could even give us our own forum. That became my second favorite place to hang out the first being here of course. can someone post the link to the yahoo groups i can't seem to locate them by doing a search

TrapshooterI ordered a Handi-Rifle in .44 Mag today, and from what Ive heard they are real shooters some of the guys on the H&R Forums were getting 1" groups or better once they free floated their barrels with o-rings. I bought the Cinnamon Laminated stock to go on it and a BSA Big Cat 3x9x40(30mm tube)attached with Burris Zee High Rings. Its supposed to be in Monday so ill take pictures and post them. When I get it out to the range Ill give yall a report on how it shoots. Its sure one hell of a buy at $187.00

hammerheadWell I too liked the H&R and Marlin forums. Perhaps the members will come here. There are several over on the cast bullet board that were regulars on the H&R forum. It will be missed. I wonder why they were shut down? I would think that the manufacter would want to know what people thought and wanted. Hammerhead

LeftoverdjLet's just call the flock into here.
I have addresses for enough to get a good start. If we all contact all we have addresses for and get them to do the same, we'll get most of them.
I'd be willing to make a small wager that Big Mortie finds his own way.

12FLVSSHehe, let's hope so DJ, Big Mortie and his Squill basket made that forum unique among the ones I have been to. The only addys I have from there is yours, and you are already here...

pagrisHell, I wouldn't be surprised if Big Mortie ended up with his own forum!

It would have been nice if Marlin/H&R had given us a little advance notice and a better explanation of the reasons why they closed the forums.
