Old 30-30 lever guns

[king_kato]

I have two savage 99's but neither are 30-30 or currently operable lol! Otherwise I have a model 94 that I shot my last deer with. 70 yards and it dropped on the spot!

I have seen pics of your takedown before, .38/55 but that is one pretty old gun.

Model 99 ..... anyone ?

I'm thinking of buying one they seem to be good performers......but you don't see them in movies

Charles Bronson used one in Death Hunt..

I've actually never shot anything with a 30-30. Don't even own one (never have). Should probably remedy that.

Wow, I thought you would have owned one at some point. I have had a couple Marlins and one Winny. Winny rattled all day long. Marlins were both very good shooters. My present Marlin still goes with me deer hunting when I just want to walk the hills back in the bush and enjoy the outing with a nostalgic rifle.

Best 30/30 group at 100 yards for me
... out of my 1950s model 94, factory irons, 3 shots covered by a loonie about 5 years back, no pics for proof ... can't remember whether it was reloads or factory, 150s or 170s ... been wearing graduated lenses for at least 20 years now, and am not considered a great shot either by myself, or the geezers I hang out with.
It was an immense shock to me, and confirmed that not all freak accidents are bad.

That's insane, nice shooting

I know. It is a little wrong, isn't it?

 

[saskcop]

Get on it brother. My Marlin 336 doesn't have the safety and shoots incredibly well. You'd love one!

 

[Brutus]

I concede that the Marlin tends to be a very accurate number. But I do enjoy the slender proportions of the Winchester M94 for a long day of hunting and hand carried by the middle point, when I wish to pack as lightly as possible.

Cheers.......

Got my largest whitetail with my 30-30 trapper!

I agree the M94's are one light weight little number

Here is my Centenial 30-30 hex barrel! Cats hate this gun!

 

[Win 38-55]

Nice big cat. I'd have a rug with a full head mount made from it. Any idea how much that cat weighed?

 

[7mag]

That one was probably around 190? Heavier than me and im around 185...

The celebrated predator hunter of yesteryear, Mr. Ben Lily used one of two repeating Winchester rifles for predator destruction, a 33 Winchester for bears and a 30-30 for the big cats.

He made his bones mostly in the American south western states along with his dogs, and even wandered into Mexico to kill at least one grizzly bear.

Impressive indeed!!!

My partner uses a winchester model 94 32 special and I also use a 357max for the big cats. Gotta love the levers! I would love to get a Stones sheep one day with an old 405win lever!
