Guns are made for shooting. Just my opinion.

Biggest devaluation in a gun in my battery, is not to shoot/hunt one of them. Let the next guy worry about collector value.

"Jim Jordan was hunting with his friend Egus Davis in Danbury, Wisconsin on November 20, 1914. A recent snowfall allowed the men to follow a fresh set of tracks, which ultimately led to the world-record buck. Jim shot the buck with his .25-20 Winchester rifle and later recovered the deer in the middle of the Yellow River." Yeah about 14 shots later

Now that is a slick old gun. I wish I still had eyes for.open sights. I'd get another model 94. The.94 has to be the easiest gun to tote I have ever hunted with.
