Love it, have three '94 Winchesters, the two carbines shoot 170 gr Hornadys around 2150 fps, the 26" octagon barreled rifle fires 170 gr Partitions at 2400 fps using a Lyman receiver peep, that rifle, so loaded, penetrates and kills better than most would believe. Yeah, but is it scary and dangerous for women and children to operate, or were you able to find rifles with that extra handy cross bolt safety doo dad? Oh no, I have the deadly and completely unsafe half cock safety models, but hey, they have plenty of levers to choose from so equipped, a Winny 94-22, three '94 30-30's, a '94 38-55, a M-71 in 348, an original '86 in 45-70 and a Turnbull '86 in 50-110 WCF.  I need to pull the barrels, dig a deep hole and dispose of these dangerous weapons.  I have the hole already dug in my backyard. Feel free to bring them by. I'll sack em up in shrink wrap so's they wont rust case you need to dig em up again dassa.
Trump Won!

The wife just bought me a new 30/30 for Christmas, it's a 1992 model 336 with the cross bolt safety. I took the butt stock off, switched the safety to off, and locked down the safety set screw to make it inoperable. Now it's really dangerous.
When I die I hope I don't start voting democrat.

Yep, my 1895G is also super dangerous with an inoperable safety thanks to a tightened set screw.

I finished off a wounded Bull moose at 10 paces with my .30-30. Things were about to turn ugly but the .30-30 solved the problem. It was snowing sideways and didn't want to get light on the last day of Vermonts 2003 Moose season. I spotted the Bull in a cut 150 yards out and I had a heck of a time seeing him in the scope of my .30-06 given the conditions. I touched it off and he appeared to be hit hard but he ran into a thicket. I went back to the truck to get the open sight .30-30 and went to dig him out. I came upon him bedded at ten paces. He came to his feet and began lowering his head. Since I was higher than he was I shot down on his spine which dropped him. I then walked around side of him and put another in his heart. His Cow stood by and watched all this. She also watched me gut him.

What's wrong with cocked and locked for carbines? It wets the bed of 1911 carriers all day long.

Love it. Plus the Winchester's are the best hunting rifle ever made for offhand shooting. 150 grain Power Points did everything I tried with a .30-30. 90 metres offhand on a red stag for one example below. I have owned three Winchester 94's of different vintages, from a 1952 pre'64 through to the 1970's, and they all would group the same 150 grain load into 1.5 - 2 inches at 100 metres with the factory open sights. You would need to convince me that these lever actions are not perfectly accurate enough for anything you might want to do with one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c271/Carlsen/DSC00511.jpg)
