I have 4 Winchesters, A nice LH Model 70 and three lever actions. My favorites are the levers, maybe because as a kid in the 50's that's what everyone was using.
Took me awhile to gather these but sure do enjoy them. All of them are used for hunting, but at my age I favor the ones with scopes.
Top: Model 64, 1955, 30/30
Middle: Model 94 AE, before the stupid cross bolt safety, Redfield 2 1/2X 30/30
Bottome: Model 88, Post 64, started life as a 308, had it rebored to a 338 Federal, Leupold VX II 2-7X. Restocked with Fajen and glass bedded. This is a shooter even with it's crappy trigger.

Mine WOULD BE a Model 70 Extreme Weather SS in 6mm Remington if Winchester would only do it once, even if it was a limited one. I would buy one!!

I have a nice Model 12 my wife got me for my birthday that I don't have photos of and a Model 70 in 300 H&H and one in 30-06. The 30-06 was the first Big Game Rifle I ever bought. I was 12 and got it out of the paper. It's a 1972 "G" Model, but she shoots.

Here are my 2 favorites. The wood stocked one is a 30-06 and the one sitting in a McMillan is a 358 Norma that has since been ceracoated by Eddie and the scope updated to a matte 2.5x8

I only have one Winchester, and it is my favorite.

If I'm wrong, I'll admit it. If I don't reply further, I'm satisfied with my side of the "debate."

Have about a dozen pre-64 Winchesters and other lever guns.

Of all of them, my three favorite Winchesters are: a 94 30-30 mfg 1936, a 62A pump 22 mfg 1954, and a 92 32-20 mfg in 1915.

Sorry, no pics...

Does that 70 have a steel or plastic butt plate?

That 1890 is in amazing condition. Restored or original?

Late 50's plastic buttplate

P.S., the Model 88 was traded for an 1897 Riot:
