Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ask John Barsness Questions About "GUN SHOPS"

I bought my first deer rifle a pre'64 Winchester M/88 .308, at Paterson Rod & Gun when it was on Goffle Rd. in Hawthorne. I shot the biggest buck I've ever taken with that rifle, a Northern Maine bruiser that field dressed @ 254#. Took the head to PR&G to be mounted and Jim was so impressed he wrote about it in his Paterson Evening News column "In the Great Outdoors".
