I just acquired a Winchester model 94 in 30-30, the serial number puts it circa 1973 manufacture, it's the top eject model, it has some bluing wear but is in overall good shape. I got it from an old buddy of mine who is trimming down and getting ready to give some guns to his kids, they didn't want it so we did a trade for something they wanted.
I have never owned a 30-30 until now, had it out and shot it today, struggled with the open sights as with my progressive bi focals I had a little trouble getting both front and rear sight in clear focus, anyway I put 6 rounds through it and had them all on the paper at 100 yards, pie plate size group, just OK.
Felt kind of good to shoot something that has a little nostalgia, going to carry it in a couple weeks when I push bush for the boy's, it should be perfect for that, they have a cow moose draw and a mulie draw here at home.
