I remember seeing bolt action shotguns back in the day. I thought it kinda pointless. The standard AR15 is sooooooooo deadly that it's not leagal to hunt with in Virginia. The law requires you use a .240 or bigger bullet. So I built two in 6.8spc(.277). I got one of them .308s too, but it's a heavy pig when you put a scope on it.
I bet you friends lever is a .30-30, Not a .30-06.

Yep. .30-.30. It is a Winchester model 94 "golden spike" commemorative rifle made 1969 on the 100th anniversary of the "golden spike" finalizing the Union Central and Union Pacific railroads meeting and completion in 1869.
His has never been fired, but he does not have the box it came in, so probably not worth all that much.
It would cure my itch for owning a lever action rifle though. ;D
Went the pistol range today. Shot both .45 and 9mm. Good time, but....the last time I went to the range, I appeared to be the highest level of distinguished marksman. Today....not so much :snicker: My target is still dead....just not nearly as pretty.
Man this site is dead. When does hockey season start? :yawn:

I think first preseason is Sept. 16 vs the Black Hawks.

Those older Winchester’s hold their value, though I’m not sure why. People want “the gun that won the west” or some such. Marlin Co. is just as old. A Marlin is a better gun IMO, and far easier to mount a scope on. If you want a historic lever gun get a Spencer or original Henry. Those two predate the civil war.

Looked at buying a Henry last year. Just really don't have a use for it....pretty much like most of my other wants :-|

If my purchases were limited to having a use for it I’d own three guns
