Got the idea to do an old school deer hunt a couple or three years ago. My friend showed up with a hand me down (believe it was his father-in-laws) Winchester. Just something about those old Winnies!

Nice rifle Sam. If you kill a deer with this fall with the .32 I'll be impressed, but if you harvest 40 acres of wheat with that threshing machine later this summer I'll be really impressed! Here is a Spencer Burnside 56-50 that I inherited a couple years ago. ![[Linked Image]](http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr276/lgehringphotos/IMG1481.jpg)

Cool stuff guys, here is a favorite lever of mine. It's an 1894 Short Rifle Takedown in 38-55. My pictures do not do this gun justice, it's 100% original and in real good shape.

My Grandfather has hunted deer here in Pa, with a 1949 model 94 in 32 special every year since the mid 1950's. He says its never let him down yet.

Nice thread, Sammo. Unfortunately, my two leverguns, a 99 and a 94, are 1000 miles away right now.
Jay, that's a nice looking rig. I've wanted a .38-55 for quite some time now.

Sam... Very nice rifle. This 1894 .25-.35 belonged to my Great Grandad... It still hangs on the original door header and nails from his homestead cabin just as it did in 1910. ![[Linked Image]](http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad223/Whitebird_43/DSC_0030.jpg)
