Few saws I’ve been collecting

I hunt wild game with mine belonged to my grandpa i don't consider myself a cowboy and brand doesn't mean anything to me.

This is a video that gives a bit of info on cowboy action shotgun shooting.

Grown men dressing up in costumes to shoot old guns is about as queer as a football bat IMO.
Most of those guys are using reproduction guns as the original ones are too valuable to shoot now.

Yes the one he is shooting is a replica. Had you watched the video you would have heard him say that.

Don't need to watch the video. I am well aware of what CAS is. It's pretty popular in Montana.

ITs just the name Winchester Marlin levers are a much better gun.

 

[Breckinridge Elkins]

Yea, but you can't argue that Pre 64 Winchesters are a better investment.

Very nice rifles. Coworker has an unfired 30-06 in the factory box.

Yes and no. The Marlins allow you to run a scope without drilling the receiver and using one of those damn side mount abortions.
That said they will never have the panache. A winchester model 71 deluxe or a Mosel 64 are a thing of beauty.

The pre 64 model 70 Featherweight in 30-06 Govt or 270 Winchester is about perfect for a back country elk rifle to this day. Especially if you chuck the wood stock and replace it with African walnut AKA a McMillan fiberglass/ carbon fiber stock.

The guy who owns it is retired, doesn't need the money, has no kids to leave it to. If it were me, I would shoot it. Maybe that's heresy.

A couple years ago I picked up a 4 digit serial# 30 Govt. m70 in very good condition.... I still haven't shot it....... but there really isn't a reason not to!

A gun that isn't shot isn't of any value to me.
Also those pre 64's are going to plummet in price once the boomers are out of the game. Guys 50 and younger on average have no interest in them.

WOW! I thought I had a collection at thirteen. Every time I buy a saw, she just rolls her eyes. I used to collect firearms and still do but older STIHL saws are now my main interest.

I wonder how women would take it if we reacted similarly to their purchase frivolity.

How many do you want to buy?

God, let's hope it's enough to get the old bag out of the house permanently.

I would sell all my 700 plus saws to get what some (NOT I) might call and "old bag" back. I know you meant what you said to be a joke but sir please be careful what you "wish" for.

 

[flatsfisher]

I have an 1890 Colt shotgun and a 1939 Winchester. both side by sides. both fine shotguns but would take the Colt any day.

I was around 400 when the red headed demon moved out.

Do you miss her?

I'd probably sell off some clam shells to get her to respond to any attempts of communication.
Did the try again thing with her once and I should not have gone back for seconds
