the under respected, far under rated 30_30 Winchester lever action. some say about 100 yd shots about it.then they never seriously tested and shot them past that. I've tested them up around 350 _ 400 yds and in the hands of a marksman it can be done with scope and quality reload ammunition to matching rifle. as a self defense firearm it's proven it's self through history. being realistic the average hunter/ shooter can't stand off hand with there favorite deer rifles and hit a gallon jug at 300 yards regardless of calibers. truth is most hunting rifles only get shot maybe a few times a year and the average hunter fails in marksmanship regardless of type firearms or calibers. no practice, no good. practice, practice, practice distances find out what we can or can't do. papa wishing you well 😊

They all look to be in great shape.

Great video. I love seeing some good 'ol lever actions.

it is a good idea to keep your land clean!

Great video. I love my old lever guns. 🤠

My grandfather found mine in the basement of an apartment he moved into in Albany NY in 1957🍻

I was in college in '91 when l aquired my first '94 at a pawn shop in Cleburne Texas. It was on a clearence rack that said $149 and less. Paid 149 for it and found out later it was made in 1914. The metal butt plate was gone and been cut straight with the plastic Winchester plate, the saddle ring was missing and lead was filling the hole and the barrel was bent ever so slightly to the left. You could barely tell. Didn't shoot it much, but l still have it plus many more 94's in .32 WS, .32-40 John Wayne commemorative (was fired before l got it) and .30-30 of course. My last one was last year made in 1934 and paid the princely sum of 1200, ouch!!! I remember when i used to buy those things for under $200 back in the '90's. I reload for all of them and have moulds for all except the .30-30. I do shoot reduced loads for that with cast bullets l purchased and use Trail Boss. Too bad they don't make it anymore. I have 4 bottles left.

Yes sir! Great video!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸

I see you know how to shoot that old crescent butt Winchester . Nice rifles and review. Thanks,

Have you ever seen a Mod 94 30-30 with a half-length magazine tube? I have one I purchased in the early 90's from a shopping mall sporting goods chain. As I recall it was $199. Hard wood stock, well finished, 20 " barrel. No complaints about post-64 issues. I had a gun smith install a Williams aperture rear sight and a gold bead front sight. I always figured it was an uncatalogued special order for the stores as a promotional item. I never shot it much, but it seemed quite accurate. I have never been able to find a half-magazine 94 in any catalog or book.

Agreed, I pick up other peoples trash all the time

Great video on a great gun , I own one myself 👍💪🇺🇸

Haha, the reloader in me can’t leave the brass behind either, even though I’ve only ever reloaded shotgun shells lol. I have an uncle that reloads my brass for me.

The Lizard King commented? I guess Jim Morrison is still alive afterall!

I would have liked a comparison of the lever effort between the old and newer models. But that old rifle looked pretty easy to work. My '70s model needs authority used.

Very nice collection of rifles there! 30-30 is one of my favorite utility and deer hunting rounds. I’ve never been disappointed with it or felt like I didn’t have enough gun for whatever chore I was about to do. I have a Marlin model 36(square bolt) with a 24” barrel and 2/3 magazine tube that is one of my favorite rifles in my collection. I still want to add a pre 64 Winchester model 94 to my collection yet. Great video!!

Si puede ser bueno el calibre. Pero eso es cuestión de gustos. Yo particularmente soy partidario de los calibres pesados , y me gusta mucho el 45 70. Como calibre .y creo que los rifles de palanca en su mayoría ese es el mejor calibre (vuelvo a repetir es mi gusto personal) para mi todavía mejor que el 500 .❤

I got a 30-30 made 1907.and a 25-35. Made 1905😊

pick up those cans. When mowing grass, you chop these cans into fine pieces, after which livestock ingest them, causing injuries and even death. Are you a cowboy?

Very nice guns. But you wasted some good dr peppers 😮

Why would you want to shoot something you cannot get ammo for anymore?
