    Sorry to dredge up an old thread; but I had an email from Reloaders Supplies saying they had some Winchester Model 94 Sporter 38-55 Win 24" rifles in stock. I just thought some who were on this thread may be interested. I've no affiliation with them, just thought I'd mention it

    Spotted that. Like the cartridge but not so much the rifle. Lets see what Ruger offers in their new Marlin rifles. 72 year old eyes and open sights don't always see eye to eye.

    I feel the same about my ole BLR 308 , haven't used her much in recent years but too much sentimental value to sell.

    The ones from the seventies and early eighties has saddle rings. I don't know when they stopped that. Probably when they stopped putting the cat on the side.

    I would have liked to have got a 16 inch barreled carbine, probably in .44 Mag, but I have found that my close vision has got to the point I woulndt be able to see the front sight well enough any more to shoot it....
    I put a Vortex Crossfire II red dot on my 16" 44Mag. Buggered if I can see that brass bead either. One day I'll get A into G and sort a front sight fibre optic for the Rossi's I do like to have the option of functioning non-scope sights on a rifle. Can't always but there ya go.

    Pre64 Winchester 88 in .243. As mint as it looks. Bore is pristine. Happy to see rifles of this age and condition still exist.

    So much like a Finnwolf - yet so different action-wise.

    A very nice example.

    Must be a lever owner thing. I run an old town discovery and a 94 among others. Keeping it simple and classic. Great pic.
