Lever Action Sickness Part II

[Right to bear arms]

This is it! My final collection (for this year . . don't let my wife know) of Winchester 94's. Last purchase was a 26" barrelled "Classic". circa 1966-68. Traded a $350 remmy 700 .243, dies,brass, bullets + $50. Why have I fallen in love with these antiquated lever actions?

because you can't help yourself ! I like levers of a different flavor;

Model 99 in .300 Savage & a Marlin Model 375 in .375 Winchester





sorry for the blury picks

I LOVE those Savage 99's. My uncle had one in .300 Savage and I drooled over that gun for years.

OK OK! So you went for strength, durability, accuracy, and caliber. . . but I have genuine Winchesters!

I have been bitten by that bug also. Those are some nice firearms

 

[Deja vu]

I love lever actions as well but I am partial to Marlins, I don't know why

I got 4 of them. 2 in 45/70 and 2 in 357 magnum

so true ! I've always wanted a Model 94 in 38-55 or the XTR Big Bore in .375, but the Marlin was a steal @ $500 bucks and the 99 was given as a gift, many many moons ago, lucky me. But yours are very nice. this is me being jealous !

Why have I fallen in love with these antiquated lever actions?

Like the old joke says:
"Insanity, Your Honor".
"Insanity? How so?"
"'Cause I'm just crazy about them".

Why have I fallen in love with these antiquated lever actions?

Because they still do everything as well as they did when they were cutting edge technology... and because a man can't have too many good 94 Winchesters.

This is my 94 Legacy model. Very accurate and well balanced.
