Longbeardking Campfire Outfitter Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 12,640 Lyndeborough New Hampshire	Originally Posted by GunGeek So what's the gun that just makes you go weak in the knees every time you see one, or makes you instinctively reach for your wallet? For me it's classic pump action Winchester .22's. (Model's 1890, 1906, 62A, & 610) Of that list, the only I don't have is the 1906. My very first .22LR was an 1890 in .22 Short. My next purchase was a nearly mint condition model 61 (hammerless pump action). Then I found a 62A that was a former shooting gallery gun from the 1920's & 30's. Mine has the logo of the shooting gallery company engraved in the stock, the company was called "5 Spot". Lastly, I picked up a mint condition, made in the 1970's Rossi 62A which is a direct copy of the Winchester 62A. And I must say, it's a VERY nice copy and a first rate .22lr in every way. Every one of them is wickedly accurate, fast action, and just a TON OF FUN to shoot. And further icing on the cake, they're all takedown guns also. I'm also a sucker for Winchester 94's. Guess.................... Recently acquired .358 Win.

At the same time, it's an action that is brute string and will outlive our great grand-kids and their offspring. Despite it's blocky unattractive action, Winchester has made some stunning examples. And that blocky, unattractive action is made with extreme quality and durability... I dare you to try to kill one. It really is an American classic, and a first rate double gun.

I could be a very content man with a .250 & .358 Savage 99. However. There's something about them that makes them not shoulder well for me; they just don't fit my strangely proportioned frame. But if I ever got a .250 & .358 I'd make them fit; they're just too darned cool Congrats on the .358, that's a heck of a find my friend.

From the time I got my first BB gun it's always seemed natural to pull a rifle up to my left shoulder. For a while, I could shoot off of either shoulder, but the left one eventually won out. Now, my entire shooting posture is dedicated to my left shoulder. Consequently, I took up with lever rifles. I accumulated a few and still have them all. The Savage 99 in .243 is by far the best of the bunch for all practical purposes. In terms of accuracy, it shoots like a bolt rifle. But from just an emotional standpoint, my very nice old Sears Model 100 with the Lyman sights (Winchester Model 94) is my favorite of the bunch. It appeals to my minimalist nature. It weighs about 6.5 lbs and can deliver a 150 grain bullet at better than 2400 fps with a bit of judicious hand loading. Basically, it's a BB gun weight rifle that can kill a bear.

The Police Positive is 97 years old and the New Police is 112 years old. The man who owned the 112 year old Colt New Police was obviously an advocate of being heeled. I got his pocket holster with it and it's obvious that he toted it on a regular basis for quite some time. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that it had tagged a man or two. It dates to the "troubles" in Eastern Kentucky which occurred during the early part of the 20th century,..and a man could definitely get his ass shot over there back then if he didn't act right.

It's chambered for the old Colt .32 which uses a heeled bullet. I paid way too much for a box of that old Colt .32 ammo on Gunbroker just to get some brass. The ammo was old and none of them fired, but I made up a die to swage heels on Hornady 90 grain hollow base wadcutters,..loaded them over a bit of Bullseye and did some shooting with it. It was a fun project but the brass was so old that it started splitting and it costs too much to buy more old ammo to keep after it, so I retired it.
