First Winchester Lever in 30 Years!

[glockster157]

I am embarrassed to say that I have been into the shooting sports for 30 years and even been in the gun business twice, but I have never personally owned a Winchester model 94. I was in a small shop Saturday and they had a clean 1971 model for a price so low I couldn't pass. I have owned a slew million Marlins but I want to shoot cast bullets in a 30-30 and Marlins are notorious for having slightly oversized bores with micro-groove rifling. I am hoping I can get my 170 and 150 grain lead bullets to shoot well in it. Either way it is a slick little rifle. As a luck would have it, I have a Williams receiver sight that fit right on it, so now I have to wait for some cooler weather to throw some bullets.

Hey, that is great! I, too, would like to have a Winchester--some day. For now, I got a cheapo '92 in 45 Colt that I'm loving to death. I'll take your journey to give me hope!! Enjoy it soon!
