Undoubtedly.
If you want something to coddle and make some noise,they'll certainly connect both them dots.................. So that has been your experience with your model 88s?

They are still used here in the north-east in fact 2 guys in my camp swear by them. I had a .308 as a kid and never had an issue with mine.

Sweet rifle. I never owned one but do like their ergos.
If I owned it I'd hunt it for WT where I'm hunting now.
Always wanted one in 284 W.

Here's HOPING your Imagination to grant you enough Pretend,to afford the dElusion that ain't so. I'm more of a BLR guy if forced to slum a lever,do superior ergo's,twist,throating,stock attachment,etc. Hint. Though I'm admittedly looking forward to more of your "keen" "insight"...do NOT be shy..................

Thinking of thinning the herd. Will hunters be interested in a 1950'd .243 Model 88 or is this just a collector/specialty gun?
Not looking for offers at this time If I couldn't hunt it, I'd have no use for it.. Not exactly what you wanted to hear was it?

You Droolers are a hoot.
Their schit stock puts the boot to you,when weighing felt recoil to case capacity/bullet weight. They wander like a Mad Woman taking a schit,in changing weather and it's impossible to squirt killer bullets of them,in the few chamberings that are of merit.
What else has your curiosity? Perhaps why those stark realizations,were/are wellllllllllll beyond your perceptors?!?
Laughing!.............

Please cite the "offending" statement,that your "experience" takes exception to and I'll delight in rubbing your nose even further in your Stupidity.
Do NOT be shy!...................(hint)

For the second time, I asked for your experiences with your personal Winchester Model 88 as it relates to your statement that they must be coddled. And you better step out of that hole your standing in if you want to reach my nose.

I've flogged on tons of schit that I'd not own. Hint...as to why I'd not own it. Re-hint.
Blued/Walnut is THE definition of how to assemble a Coddler. Re-hint.
I get a kick out of your haste to talk out your amazingly clueless ass,as you flaunt your Imagination and swoon your Pretend.................

You are devoid a single inkling,regarding POA/POI correlations,long shot strings and the soothing sanctity of a known CBS...if only as starters.
I'm as at ease sandbagging,as you are swinging for the fence on every pitch.

Facts can be unsettling,especially for the Delusional.
Funny how it actually works..................

For years my Dad used a Model 88 in 308. He loved the rifle. It's easily the most attractive lever rifle made. I liked my old Marlin 336, but the Model 88 was better looking. Unfortunately, Dad was not into cleaning and maintenance, so when the rifle developed ejection problems, he sold it cheap rather than find a gunsmith. If the OP wanted to sell his, I'm sure it would bring a good price.

Only recall handling one or two, seems like they had about 9-lb triggers on them.
