Brian and Matt, beautiful rifles. I wish my pockets were as deep as yours. Rifles like that don't come cheap. Thanks for the tip, Brian, I am all receiver sighted up with my old model 64. Got a nice Lymen 66A all mounted now.
Hi Mike,
I can only speak for myself, but I can tell you, my pockets aren't that deep. Just that I have a decent job now where I am working WAY too much OT, and finally paid off my huge student loan debt last year. That has allowed me to start picking up some nice 1894s. I can assure you, it wasn't this way when I started collecting them a half dozen years or so. My first two Winchesters were actually pretty darn rough. No, they do not come cheap, but I really appreciate them and their craftsmanship in this type of condition. I have two more on the way that I bought last month before I started putting money aside for the new house. Stay posted.
Matt
