Do you own a 30-30?

[Gedunk]

I've got a Winchester 1894 in 30-30. I'd like to find an older one like my step father, who bought one brand new in 1958. We like to shoot his 30-30 at the ranch in San Saba. He's got gun mounts on either side of the Gator for the Winchester 94 and the Ruger 10/22. Great rifle for killing hogs and deer.

I don't know if you are still interested in finding an older 1894. I have a saddle ring 1894 with a Winchester crescent butt stock, manufactured in 1928. The photo below is a catalog photo from Rock Island Auction of the rifle I won at auction.

The first gun I ever shot has a young lad was my uncles model 94 30-30. Knocked me on my butt. So the first guns I got were a Win, 94 30-30, Ruger New Model Single Six 22LR- 22 Mag. 9 1/2" barrel and a Win.12ga. pump. Still have all three.

I recently acquired a Savage Model 170 pump 30-30 with a Simmons 3-9x40 8 point scope through an inheritance. I haven't had a chance to go to the range with it yet. Anyone have any informed thoughts or experience with one. I would welcome any comments.

I’ve never seen that gun. Sounds pretty cool!

WTF are you confessing? With that, you should be legendary! You might need a good old Winchester in the mix, but nobody's perfect.

I might just have a 1947 Winchester 94, but it's in 32 Win Special, so that really doesn't count.

Best I can do is post a stock photo. Due to privacy concerns my personal digital pix aren't published on the internet. My rifle is exactly like this.

If one was going to purchase a new lever rifle today would it be a ; 30-30/ 357 .44 mag. I have a 357 revolver ?
When I hunt it is usually 125 yards or less.
Mainly hogs and occasionally a deer

I think 357 or 30-30.

There’s something to be said for having two guns shooting the same ammo.
