    Shot Show 2016, The Forgotten Winchester

    Yup, they had the rifle at the Winchester booth & it was really cool to see!

    Some background...

    Archaeologists working in Nevada’s Great Basin National Park found the rifle in November 2014. The 132-year-old Winchester rifle was found leaning against a tree and had likely been exposed to the elements the entire time.

    I read about that in the paper to! Great that they thought about exhibiting it! Surprised that the butt retained its curve after all that time on the ground.
