I'm not sure it's my best, but here's one:



Top: XTR Sporter 30-06
Bottom: FN Super Grade .270

These two (one for shotguns, one for rifles). Model 21 near Geraldine MT in 2004, and a Model 88 in 284 WIN in Edgecombe County NC.

I guess I need to post an 88 to fit in.

From 3 years ago, the kids, their pre 64 M70's and their first mule deer.

1886 Winchester in 40-65, from Browning Brothers, Ogden U.T. This is just how the buck fell...

Wifey with her 1957 model 88, .308 Win. Less than 6 weeks after open heart surgery. Shot him literally off the back porch of the house! This pic made the heart transplant team PowerPoint presentation. Still waiting for the word on a heart.

Looks to me sir that your wife is all heart. God bless her. prayers sent.

This one,a .375 H&H Super Express with a Zeiss 4x. Now a Leupold 1x-4x on it.

Wow! Some really nice photos.

My Pre '64 Model 70 Fwt .30-06.

1906

I love that picture pal. Your rifle is a ham...

Ah,what the hell, I'll play....Here's one that's all winchester, even the ammo:



Nothing says Winchester like a long tang 71 deluxe

Model 94

Bunch of nice guns have been pictured here. Roundoak, that's a really nice looking 1906. Here's a few pictures:

Winchesters..........

Whitebird, that is quite a rack of Winchesters!

Whitebird is the man....

these are my current best.
the 60 and 67 I have had 50 yrs
the 375 32 yrs
the 70 is new to me
the 351 was a anchor that I fixed up
the 1890 shoots like a million dollars. can keep them in the black at a hundred yards. ground squirrels tremble!

well he?? I still can,t post pictures.

Handwerk, very nice!

Spring 2012 near Folsom NM, 1913 vintage all original, loaded brass shells with Goex 2f and a mix of #4 & #6

Here's another.

Does this qualify?

My father shortened the stock for me 50 years ago in 1963.

My uncle gave it to my father in 1959.

My uncle bought it new to protect the C.S. Holmes in 1939.

The C.S. Holmes was demasted, used as a sea going barge, and sunk in WWII.

now thats some history...way cool!

Pre 64 (1961)model 70 in 264 Win Mag. Sightron SII Big Sky 3-12x42 in Talley lightweights. This gun loves 130 gr Swift Scirocco IIs.

Keep em coming guys and ladies, I never tire of a photo of any Winchester, My favorite thread before this one is the long running mod 70 one. I can spend hours viewing it. very best

Couple of 1950's Winchesters, 30/30 Model 64 & 32Spec. Model 94.
Both get hunted.

A high wall, circa (I'm told) 1900. At some point it was customized into a saddle ring carbine, in .45-90. It still shoots very well, and thoroughly hammers hogs...

My dad's, formerly grandfather's, 94 32 Special.

Took these this morning, not the best but decent. Naturally I didn't notice the kiddo's toy in the background till later.
First one is the 1963 Model 70 06 and second is the 1957 Model 70 270.

Awesome rifles buddy! Very nice "do it all's" right there. I'll bet they shoot as good as they look too...

Do you see the scratch?!!! I noticed it today, I'm sure there are many more to come.

Maybe not my best Winchester photo but a good one down the barrel of my favorite 56' mod 70 target that wears a sporter stock.

A handful I like with my pre-64 358 Win.

One of the last Custom Shop Model 70s, 338 Winchester Magnum:

This one followed me home from North Carolina over the weekend:

Damn that's a cool rifle.

Lordy what a jewel you have there! Keep the photos coming folks, I never tire of these photos!! very best

Ive probably posted this one before but it is by far one that I will keep and enjoy till pushed off in a hole in the south pasture. It is a 59' Varminter in the great 220 Swift, I think Rule says Winchester made 904 of these, I wonder why they waited so late in the varminter run to offer them as I also have a .243 that is a 56'. Folks will not believe how well it shoots but I am very happy happy!

very best
Same gun in .243 win, loves Fed prem. 70 gr BT's it may be 50's technology but it will shoot with high dollar customs !

very best

I hope that little guy's just sleeping.

270 in classic sporter picture was taking on a sheep hunt

I love the target pics. I love it when they are in the orange!!!! Hey, that's a heavy barrel varminter, it's susposed to shoot. What guys don't believe is how well my std and fwt's shoot...

Not my best, but my most recent:

Transition Mod 70, Krieger barrel, Echols' Legend stock, Kodiak AK

I'm a sucker for deluxe wood. This is a special order '86 in .45/90:



I'm not a big, "character gun" guy but sometimes a piece has just the right character. This is M1894 SRC in .32 special. It was a cowboy gun that came out of western North Dakota. Mechanics and headspace are tight as new. We've all had a lot of guns that we say, "if only it could talk..." This is really one of them



One neat feature is that it has the special .32 special rear sight that they only put on .32 specials - almost always on rifles. This is the only one I have seen on a carbine and looks like it has been on there since the beginning:

Nice rifle Jorge!

Love this picture!!!

I was wondering why he'd shoot a dog.

Win 70 6.5x55, custom stock (Husqvarna 46 clone)

Very nice rifle and in a classy chambering..

My other Win 70 FWT 6.5x55, CRF. I wanted to keep it in the wood stock but was pretty heavy. So swapped it for a compact McM edge this summer. Weighs 7 1/4 lbs now.

Thanks BSA, almost as nice as some of yours

not my best Winchester pix but a happy,happy that I posted under a different topic. very best

Model 97 16 ga pump shotgun and "big bird"


Model 70 Alaskan .338 ( now sold )


Model 94 .32SPL and dink candidate....

1876 deluxe in 40-60...

1952 Win 12 12 Gauge Mod choke SD pheasant

Wow! Great catch on the 40-60, it's beautiful!

I'm afraid that Bullwinkle won't be a good dink candidate, however

A few months later...

Whitebird that manly her stock has to be the best looking rifle I have ever seen. I would trade just about any gun I have for that thing.....droooooooool!,,,,

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

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

Some of my Winchesters on display at Kalispell gun show...

Thanks for the pix ,Shrapnel, great photo and I bet great story on the moose as well. very best

Great photos, a fellow has not lived till he understands a good Dog and Winchester, Looks like you have spent much time with both... very best

Shrapnel, those are awesome Winchesters, Will you be at any of the Montana gunshows this winter... I hit the one in Billings this fall.. It was awesome compared to what we get in Wy.. I would like to attend some of the good ones up there this winter in Jan. or Feb.. March is out due to my Dad's birthday..

Battue, again that beautiful little dog and the 16 ga. I got to thinking after I looked at that shotgun in other photos, that was my dream gun when I was starting to hunt.. Begged my mom and dad for a model 12 16ga. modified choke.. They didn't buy it for me for Christmas, and to this day I have never owned a model 12 in 16.. Probably never will now.. I am shotgun poor and don't have time to shoot the ones I already have..

Great collection, Doc!
Where does he show - PDX gun show? I'd like to see them in person.

I will be at Bozeman next weekend, Kalispell the end of March.

1908 winchester signal cannon

A few of my all original old winchester pocket knives.1919-1942

Schrapnel, thanks for the info. I will have to miss both due to obligations.. Maybe another time..

I knew Harold. He was a fine man.

Do I need to belong to photo bucket or another sponsor to post pictures?

Yes. It's easy. Even girls and kids do it.

Here's my pride and joy, 1941 Model 70 reworked and rechambered to 300 Win Mag by Al and Roger Biesen. It weighs in at 8 3/4# all up; now wears a 6x36 Leupold:

That is a real treasure.

I kinda like this little Model 42 Skeet Grade as well...

While not as classic or classy as many here - it is my favorite photo of one of my Winnys.

Don't care for photo bucket so If I just can't up load from my computer I won't be posting any.

Try flickr. They have sharper images than photobucket.

http://www.flickr.com/

My old standby..mid 50's .270 fwt

Fantastic classic Pal ! A Fwt is next up on my bucket list, I love 30-06 but for some unknown reason out of 18 cals. I have never owned a .270, Im thinking it would be the cats ass in SW GA whitetails. very best on a nice gun...

94 Legacy 44Mag

I like that. I'll bet it's a hoot to shoot too..

Yep,, but I been digging the Pre-64 lately...

Kinda tricked out pre 64 ..Nice rifle..

Most recent; from today.

Congrats battue. I like that pic!

Eric

Not the best picture, but here is this years steaks taken by my M70 Super Grade in 300 RUM. Shooting a 200gr Nosler Partition at 3200 fps

257 Roberts...

Nice pre64, I would love to own one someday.

Good one I wasn't expecting that. Not sure but I think the gun thing may have been the intention here.. LOL. !!!!!!

My newest Winchester: XPert Model 96, 20ga w/ custom English Walnut Stock and Nickel Plated receiver. Probably doesn't do much for the hardcore collectors but I think she's beautiful!

I think it's damn beautiful!!! Nice...

+1, she looks like a beauty to me.

Nice chunka wood.

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.

Harold passed away some time back and his collection is not being shown at this time.
Doc

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

Gun smoke and Cigar smoke!, an awesome combination that can mean nothing but good times with good friends!

Happy Holidays Firemates,
Dan

I'll have this one at DSC again, still for sale, lowered price. 375 H&H

[quote=Jkob]I'll have this one at DSC again, still for sale, lowered price. 375 H&H

I'd sell the wife to the Arabs right now and buy that, if it was a lefty...Very nice!
Bob
PS- Wouldn't get too much for the wife, though.

Not one of my firearms but thought you might enjoy an extra large vintage Skeet score card.

Very cool skeet score sheet, how big is it!

roughly 16"X38"

Lefty 375's always have been hard to find, at least around these parts. I ended up having one built.
Doc

Awesome lefty!

I also have a lefty M70 custom that will also be going to DSC It is a classic in 400H&H caliber.

3 22's 75 grooved sporter, grooved 61 22lr and a 63

Nice rack.

Not really a Winchester, but it WANTS to be...
Bob

MRC .375, built by Hill Country Rifles.

Nice rifle RGK. You are going to give it a complex though ..Nothing wrong with that MRC.. Being from Hill Country, it probably shoots every bit as good as my 375

Man that gun takes me back, my Grandfather was 2nd in command of our 'county farm' in addition to our family farm in the late 30's thru early 60's .I can remember the gun room and a couple or 3 of these Winchester autos stood in the rack, I can remember 1 Thompson as well. Shotguns were used out on road detail. I have my Grandfathers Win model 97, 12ga, 30" full choke I cherish the gun and its still my go to spring gobbler gun, it has never let me down I am still using out of a box of his Rem high brass #2 lead shot that has ' US Govt' over rolled on the outside of box!I also have 2 boxes just like the #2's that are buckshot.. I will try and dig out pix. very best Win Poor

Here's a couple from a newb if I can get the pix loaded. Hope you don't grade on picture quality.



These are all 38-55's, as is the PG carbine above.

Nice rack!

Nice one, what kind of stock is that?

It's a McMillan Winchester Hunter, edge fill.

Great pictures Tony! Awesome stuff.

1957 270 Win. 378 yd shot on a powerline. Ran 30-40 yards into the woods. 277#

Godogs that buck has some thick going on! Great buck. Oh… Perfect rifle also 💪

What a dandy buck! Very nice!

Great shooting as well. Who’da guessed a 270 could kill a deer so far away

Didn’t want to blow the deer apart with a 6.5 Man Bun so I downgraded to a 270

I hear you, I do the same myself. It’s hard to believe the old ping pong slinger still gets it done….

Great buck though. Love seeing 270’s laying across big bucks. Makes my heart swell a size

Hard to beat a 270

Mind sharing what county he was in?

Great bucks fellas!

My 416 Remington M70 in Zimbabwe.

Lee County, GA.

What a hog! He makes that rifle look small.

Had a good season with a my Model 70 this year.

Took a last minute trip out to Colorado. Got my first elk.


Then a couple weeks later shot my best buck here in Pa.

Damn Ben, nice buck.

I'm from Pen Argyl, where are you at ?

Thanks. I had a little swamp between where he fell and where my truck could get to. A 100+ yard pull to the truck took me an hour and a half that Thanksgiving morning. Still had a silly grin on my face after that pull.

One of the last to come out of New Haven in late 2005:

Holy crap! What a year and a great buck and bull! Hot damn you’re on a roll! Dandy’s.

Good job Ben. Looks like you used your pre 64 model 70 in a hunters edge stock. I believe that is a 30-06, if I remember right. More details man. For us guys that like talking bullets and stuff!!!! How did the rifle handle for you? Were they DRT?

BSA here's the elk recap

This was my second trip out west for a hunt. I went to Montana a few years ago with my buddy but came home empty handed. Two years ago he moved to Colorado. He wanted me to come out elk hunting, but it's tough for me to commit to time off months in advance. This fall we were pretty caught up on the farm, so my brother and wife agreed to hold down the fort.

I bought a last minute $200 plane ticket on a Saturday and flew out the next Thursday. He had drawn a mule deer tag, and I bought an over the counter bull tag for the 2nd season. He had checked out the unit after archery season, but only spent a little time in the area and didn't see any animals. I was happy to have the time off and to get to spend some time with a good friend. We set up camp Friday morning and checked out the area that evening.

The next morning we hiked about a mile and a half from the quad trail and each of us posted up on a different side of the ridge. When the sun came up it wasn't that great of a spot so we went over one more ridge and did the same thing. Around 830 a few cows came down a ridge about a 1000 yards away. Before I knew it, the group grew to 21 head, with 4-5 five points and one bigger six point. When the six point was silhouetted on the crest of the hill I remember thinking this was how I always pictured elk hunting. We watched them for a half hour or so. The animals seemed like they were going to settle into a patch of blowdowns for a bit.

The goal was to kill anything legal but I was happy to actually get to "hunt" elk. The plan was to drop about 1200ft of elevation and get onto the ridge that was between us and the elk. This looked like I would give me a 350-400 yard shot. The hike took 45 minutes and we weren't exactly where we wanted to be yet. But my buddy peeked over the ridge and most of the elk were gone. There was a few cows, a spike and a 5 point walking straight into us. We were going to try and make a move on the 5 point, when I noticed the rest of the elk crossing the ridge we were on. 325 yards below, a couple of cows were crossing through a 10-15 yard gap in the trees. They were all broadside, single file. I got the rifle ready and by buddy was watching the herd in his binos. He said here comes a 5 point.

We were so wrapped up trying to kill a legal bull, we had forgotten about the six point. I said "hey, where's the big one?" He said "it's a couple back wait a sec". When the six point came to the gap in the trees, it turned and was walking towards us. I fired straight into it's chest. I saw it rear up, it was a good hit. I fired another shot and it dropped. A couple seconds later it stumbled around trying to follow the other elk. It went into a little clearing at 350 yards I got on it again and hit it (in the lower shoulder) then once more into it's neck. It was dead. By 1030am on the first morning we had a bull on the ground.


Pa buck recap

I went for a walk in the morning before chores. I spotted a two deer out in a freshly picked corn strip. It was too dark to get a good look at them, but it looked like a decent buck and a doe.
I snuck out to the top of a diversion ditch and got ready for a prone shot. As the sun came up I could tell it was a good buck. It started to walk towards the mountain, I fired one shot at 340 yards. The buck jumped and went about ten yards. It looked dead on its feet but I shot once more and it tipped over.

Great story Ben. Thanks for sharing!!!! You left out the rifle and bullet though. If I remember right, that is your 30-06 fwt in a mcmillan stock? My buddy sent me a video of his elk hunt from a couple weeks ago. Late season cow elk hunt. He was using the pre 64 model 70 308 winchester that I restocked for him with a Mcmillan swirly hunters compact. Awesome stuff again, since I did not get to go elk hunting last fall!!!! Congrats on your nice bull buddy!!!

One of the last to come out of the Custom shop in the early 60s... 338 Winchester Magnum

It was a great hunt....the day before the storm was coming and they were out feeding and didn't care if you were close to them. Had one more day and thought tomorrow it will be easy to get one. It wasn't, they hold up and you couldn't find one. Finally in the afternoon bounced this one out of her bed up on top. Easy drag down to the truck.

Awesome hunt. Sounds like a classic elk hunt to me.

Helluva buck hunt too!

I pass right by your exit weekly. Cool to know another P64 fella is so close, in relative terms!

nice

Love to see that in more detail!

BSA
Yea the rifle is a pre64 fwt 30-06 . I've been shooting the 165gr interlock for the last 5-6 years. The load is really accurate out of my rifle, (it killed a woodchuck at 565 yards). I've used it on 2-3 deer a year, probably a dozen coyotes, 3 black bear and now one elk.



The first shot on the buck was a pass through. The second shot went in right Infront of the shoulder blade and came out the neck. It was stopped in the hide. I found it when I skinned it.

The first shot on the elk probably would have killed it. It went in the chest and didn't exit. The lower shoulder shot didn't either. But the neck shot did. It died within 25-30 yards of where I first shot it so I'd say it worked.

Beretzs
Where are you at?

I am a fan of Interlocks

Thanks for getting back to me on this. I thought it was a good ol 06. Nice do everything rifle and load right there. My 30-06 rifles love the 165 Hornady sp and btsp interlocks. The SP probably shoots a shade better in them. Great hunting rifle and bullet, thanks for sharing. Doesn't get much better than that one..

I am up in Schoharie County, NY. I pass by you, hit Binghamton and travel 100 miles Northeast.

Same here.

Representing the Lefties.....

Very nice! That's a cool rifle for you Southpaws!

Sounds good, it's a nice ride through that area. I was selling some steers to a guy around Oneonta, and my friend used to have some hunting spots near afton. My uncle's got a hunting cabin near Norwich, didn't go this year though.

Nice, Oneonta is about 45 minutes away.

BLR358WINs entry!

TY Scotty! 2019 buck killed on my Crawford Co PA property. Its a 70 custom classic 338 in a Bansher stock(crazy ser # G46) I was hunting with my brother when he spotted a head with antlers turning side to side in the thicket at 100 yds with his binos. He said its a big one but I aint trying a shot with his 700 in 3006. I said im not scared. 200 gr bullet took him right threw the back of his neck. He never got out of his bed! A week later same gun dropped a big doe. Awesome memories!!!

Great buck!

Custom pre-64 358 Win.

Looks like great deer hunting weather. Don't you have one with a brown stock aswell?

Damn nice.

Yes. You have a good memory.

Model 42 skeet from 1959.
