Fellows, just wanted to show you my new Winchester Model 94 30-30 made in 1954. I've named this carbine 'Old Savage', a good, solid name. This carbine puts the bullets where I aim and it was also made the same year as I was born. It seems to be aging much better than I.
For those who might want to know more about the leather 30-30 cartridge belt slider and the Bowie and sheath, they were all made by Alan Soellner of Chisholm's Trail. The Bowie blade is Solingen steel and the grips are Sambar Stag. I really like this knife; it has become my primary wilderness and hunting knife and the carbine will be my primary wilderness gun when on remote wilderness canoe and camping trips with my wife and family. It's hard to beat a light, compact, fast 30-30 carbine for packing along in the bush. I like a knife with a long blade. One of my pet peeves in the wilderness is trying to skin a large fish with a dinky little blade, and I resist carrying a fillet knife. It's also good as a last resort if one of those nuisance Cougars too lazy to go get a deer, lands on my head.
