As a '60's teen, I couldn't afford my own deer rifle, but dad's gun guy buddy had a 64 .30 WCF that he loaned me. A very accommodating fork horn showed up on opening morning and just fell over at the shot. What a great start to a fledgling gun kid. I didn't realize what I had at the time, but Bob had some nice stuff and that 64 instead of a 94 was just one example. Lighter to carry with less recoil than a 71, but made to the same high standards with available .30-30 ammunition.


My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
