Post by Shrapnel »

I met a gentleman this weekend and saw some of the nicest Winchesters I have ever seen. These are rarely seen in this condition...

Wow! I can't imagine actually having a piece of history like that in hand. I've never gotten any closer than seeing them in a museum! :mrgreen:

I really like that '66. Any idea what year it made? How was the bore?
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Awesome! Some of my favorite guns. I can't afford any, but I sure like them. I buy the Italian replicas
instead.
