I never thought of a dream rifle as such. There have been a few that I wanted but most of my rifles I just ran across at a time that I could afford one. I was lucky enough to purchase a Winchester model 71 Deluxe in excellent plus condition. I almost wish it was worn a little, so I would feel a little more comfortable with it in the woods. I do use it when the weather promises to be good and the going not too rough. I got a real nice 8 point a few years ago with it and that has been one of my more memorable hunts. I love hunting with vintage firearms.
