1904, ‘92 Winchester. But I have a few older - don’t know date of manufacture - 2 Krag’s & an old SMLE. The SMLE did in a wolf that was challenging my dog in my yard.
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

1908 Mannlicher-Schoenauer, originally chambered in 8x56MS. Some years back, I had a new barrel made for it in 8x57Mauser. Decent shooter, and I have taken it hunting, but alas, no joy yet.

I no longer hunt with any old rifles. Been in the proccess of acquiring new guns to hunt with everything suppressed. Only older rifle i ever hunted with regularly was a 1955 winchester model 88 .308. Took several deer and bears with it. Have an old marin .30-30 from 1947 i believe. Picked it up in the spring of 2019, took 2 bears with it that august, and its sat in the safe since then. Ill take it out again one of these days just for fun. When i bought that old 47 marlin it had been sitting in a safe pretty much my whole life by the sounds of it. Figured id better put it to work that year.

An old model 94 Winchester SR carbine in .32 spcl. Date of birth 1912.
And a Win 1897 pump shotgun in 16 gauge made in 1900 - it's a turkey killing machine!
