And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I'm disappointed Sammy didn't include a link. I was looking forward to bringing $95 an hour right Q now just on a computer. I was going to use the money to become more literate in English at the University of Nairobi.
For a lever action, I prefer the Winchester 94. Lighter, trimmer, faster handling. I know I’m going to take flak, but there’s no use for a scope in heavy eastern brush. And nothing bigger than the .30WCF is needed. (Although, I do own one in .375 Win.)
if i could own only one it would be a pre 60's 94 winchester. i have carried one since i was 10 and it has never once let me down. i own many and it's still one of the best shooters i own. fast, light and easy to carry. holds 6+1. that gun saved me from a mt lion one time in my youth in Nevada. when i saw him he was over my head in a cotton wood tree, ass up and tail twitching.
On the hunting cabin porch in N East PA in the early 70's, in a snowstorm, trying to unload it so I could take it into the cabin for the night. It wasn't happy to unload a full cartridge. Had to dismantle the action. Seems there is a part that wears, that causes that issue. Early 6 digit S/N. Long gone.
I have a 94 in .44. Needs to be a Henry with the brass receiver in there somewhere. Just got one for my wife for her birthday. She just kept crying saying I never thought I would own one!!!
They’re nice, but they’re not Winchesters…. Even if you don’t like scopes, a micro red dot on a scout mount would be the cat’s meow for close range hunting. Especially for older eyes.
For year round carry, I think a .357 Magnum has a lot to offer, especially the 16" barrelled Trapper. But that takes a back seat to the 30-30 when it comes to deer hunting.
Got a couple of Marlins and a Winchester and a really interesting Savage 99 takedown 30/30 with a rotary magazine and a digital ammo counter- the lever gun everyone forgets about.
I remember when .30-30, and .30-06 could be bought in ant hardware store. And a few auto parts stores. When asked my favorite cartridges, I named those two. For that reason. Change is seldom a good thing.

ReplyDeleteI would like a Marlin in .44 or .357.
I have a 94 in Dirty-30 as well as the .375WIN. Great guns. Winchester, Marin, Henry, all good stuff.

ReplyDelete30/30, if you can find it, goes for $1.65 per rd, incl. tax.

Kinda looks like four brand new Ruger made Marlins that the LGS just got in to sell at a very modest markup.
