Beautiful, I was walking a kink out of my leg and hip with my trusty mod 70 late yesterday when a big covey of quail flushed underfoot, an old owl or redtail hawk must have had em holding real tight as I never heard a peep till they exploded. That would have been a nice gun to catch 2 on the rise with. very best on a nice smooth bore

Thank you all for the kind words. I'd love to be able to swing her on a covey of quail someday. That has always been a dream of mine. But, unfortunately, I live in Western NY where quail are all but non-existent. Someday maybe! Even the roughed grouse, that used to be everywhere in my youth, are a rarity anymore (although I did have one flush in front of me this past deer season - stirred up some fond memories ). This gun will likely be used more for breaking clays than walking through the woodlots. Happy Holidays to all the Campfire members, Dan

My main passion is Savages, however I do enjoy a good Winchester Rimfire. 52 Target Slowlock with Leatherwood Sniper 8X scope.

Some Winchesters from my uncles collection. That mule deer in the top picture was killed with a Winchester 94 in 38-55 serial number 8. I was standing beside Harold when he shot him. Doc Great collection, Doc! Where does he show - PDX gun show? I'd like to see them in person. Harold passed away some time back and his collection is not being shown at this time. Doc

Me and uncle Harry would be inseparable, uncle harry could not get the wrapper off his cigar before I had a match lit. LOL , I am happy we have folks like Uncle Harry who have kept these Winchester collections going. very best Well since we don't have a cigar forum on the Campfire you probably felt that you had to post this somewhere or did you choose the Winchester forum because you had a Winchester lighter. Merry Christmas to all. Doc

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
