Yep love my tutty tutty

Yep, never cared for the Win lever. Love the history but that skinny forend never fit. Marlin, perfect.

94 22m for all around truck gun.

I use 6mm remington! Works great, not much kick great for a starter gun!

I have yes. I have a first year of production Winchester long Tom lever in 30-30. It has resided in the gun room for many years now.

Osky

I use a Marlin 94 in 45 Colt. Manufacture date was 1997- the year I graduated college. Love that rifle. Carry it and a Ruger Super Blackhawk, also in 45 Colt. 335gr hardcast on top of a full dose of H110 and it’ll take anything I ever come across.

I'll give ya $100 for the rifle then,lol.

1951Winchester 94 and late model Winchester 94 AE big loop, both in 30-30

Just wacked a doe with mine this past season. 30-30 cal. It's a great brush gun. Shot her right under my stand straight through the heart. She never took a step and just dropped. I have iron sights and my tired old eyes are good up to about 100 yards.

I have, My father bought his when he got out of the Navy in 1944 amd I have it now, as each of us boy got big enought we got the same thing. All 32 special I have 3 of them all early gums plus I have others of different calibers. but most of the time I hunt with a 742 in 308.

Sold mine made in 1970... Went with a few other tack drivers but wish i had kept it

Its funny that whenever I read about guns the words " sold it " The next sentence is " wish I had kept it " in 99 % of the cases ....... do we never learn ??

I try not to think about it. Too many painful memories.

25-35, 30-30, 32 special & 38-55. Range from 1897 to 1906 and still shoot them a lot. The herd has grown immensely since this photo.

I have owned a lot of them but have reduced my collection to just these two now. A '94 in 30 caliber and a moder 64 Deluxe in 32 special. I sold a collection of sixty one pre '64 Winchesters, Remingtons and Savages back in 2012. I don't hunt with these two but enjoy taking them out and petting them occasionally
I have hunted with one of the'94's in the past, however.

Sure do I have 2 winchesters and I have Never sold a gun once it's mine I will always have it!

Mine is a 1959 (looked it up) .32 Win.Spl.. My dad bought it for my 1962 Christmas present after I blew up his Remington 16 gauge w/choke.

I had cut a slug for my brother to see before we went out to drive for deer. Shot it into the snow. Loaded up w/slugs and buckshot.

Three deer came out near the end of the drive. I opened up on the front one then the last. Thats when it blew up. No choke and most of the barrel.

My dad was surprised as much as I. He went right down to the Ace hardware and purchased the Winchester.

Luck was with me that day.

How about a 1905 Marlin model 1893 and yes in 30/30, I have others including more then one 94 and several savage 99s but the 93 gets grabbed most often, it’s just lucky like this year, didn’t see a single deer all season till I grabbed it for the days hunt on the last day of season

That target was fired at 100 yards and the aiming point was top of the diamond preaty good for a hundred plus year old gun and my old eyes




Not my biggest ever but you don’t spit on hunters luck or a call from gramps gun I don’t know how many deer and other game it has put on the table since my gramps bought it new in 1905

Thanks for the pics and the stories. I went ahead and purchased the gun but I won't see it until the end of next week. Can't wait to get my grimy hands on it.

I have my dad's in 30-30. Took my first deer with it. It's a 1929 vintage. Not really the best for Alaskan game so it hasn't been used in close to fifty years
