I like this thread. Let's keep it alive now that rifle season has kicked off. Win 94ae Saddle ring trapper 44mag pre safety. Shot this doe Friday at about 4:30p at 20ft from me.

Great thread, I was actually thinking to myself how many members on here hunted and liked to hunt with leveractions. Glad to see this thread. I for one also like hunting with leveraction,actually this season,a friend of mine and I are starting this hunting season using our leveractions. my friend is using his Marlin in 30-30, I think it is a 30aw if i'm not mistaken, and I am using my Marlin 45-70 guide gun. I have no pictures yet as I haven't taken a deer this season but will plan on taking pic of both the animals taken and of the rifles. my friend took a deer with his 30-30 the other day. I only have a pic of the deer and not of his rifle, but hope to remedy that on our next hunt. This year I would like to also try to hunt with my soon to be 1894 cowboy limited in .44mag once I get it out of layaway, I only have a couple of payments left them shes all mine....lol. Then I can hopfully get to hunt with it before the season ends, I'm hoping to get it out before Christmas,that'll be my little gift to myself....lol.

Man, this really makes me want to get out and buy a lever-action. I'm relatively new to shooting and I've always thought a nice Marlin 336 or Winchester 94 would be the perfect starter rifle. I think it'd be a great way to learn to be a great marksman. So classic.

Really nice pics. Ive never shot at any thing besides a target with a leaver action.
The measure of a man is not only what he does when people are watching, but what he does when no one is.

Some mighty fine levergun's on this string. The photo's of the youngester's are the best part. Remember when you was young and excited like that. Now my enjoyment comes from passing on what I have been taught and watching the new ones enjoy the sport that has been such a big part of my life.(safdm44) the rifle I used last yr. on my WT. hunting trip's is an original M1876 .45/75 cal.Winchester,look's like a 1873 but a bit bigger. Made for the big bore caliber's for big game and far shooting out west. I shot this bk. on my place up in Coke Co. free range ,at 148 paces . He went down on the spot recovered and made about another 40 paces before going down fer good.The last few yr's I have only used antique firearms or replicas to hunt with. Put's the fun back into it like when I was a youngester. Thank's for getting this string started. Been thinking about offering Vintage hunt's on the Wt. ranch and the Muledeer ranch......Dusty
