Here's one I unfortunately sold to a good friend a couple years ago. Likely the prettiest '94 I'll ever own, and it was a "standard TD rifle", not a deluxe. Wish I had it back, but at least I'm glad it's with a friend who appreciates it. yooper

BSA drives me nuts with these threads. Mainly because I'm either too busy or too lazy to get some pics took. Decided that would change today and I made myself empty the vault. I did forget about the 88 though. A couple of junky 2nd gen Colts did manage to worm their way into the pics though. 92 SRC's, R to L, 25, 32, Browning 44 mag, 38, and 44 WCF. The 38 is the one that started the addiction. 94 SRC's, 25-35, 30-30, 32 WS, 32-40, and 38-55 Well start this one with a 1901 10 gauge, and round it out with the 95's in 30-40, 30-06 SRC, and a modern 405 TD. 86 derivatives. 71 Browning carbine, 71 Winny rifle, 86 project rifle that I had refurbished into a 20 inch short rifle, 45-70 caliber, Browning 86 SRC 45-70, and finally a Winny 86 in 40-82.

I been holding out for one made in latter part of 20th century and chambered for either .307 or .356. It's been real long time and I fear I may never find one. For love of God I do not understand why people shy away from real good things and buy mediocre stuff. Why do most good things have to be discontinued because customers don't want them?

I might be putting this up on Gunbroker soon to make room for new foals. In .308/.358 that was the best lever action ever made that is why it did not sell and had to be discontinued. You know, wonderful modern "bolt action" with a lever was simply too good to use.

There is a Savage 99 in 358 that is better than any 88.
I have considered for sometime stating that when a guy goes from A Winchester to a 99, will probably never go back to using the Win. lever gun.

This is a Winchester thread/forum, but I may just have to agree with that ....Well, except for the last part. It would take a very big crow bar to pry me away from my 71
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

Internal rotary magazine plus magazine capacity indicator on earlier vintage 1899s did not make them better than legendary Model 88. Dream on.
