After some searching my 30-30 ....

[FOTIS]

is en route to Cheyenne.

Got a great price on it too (less than a used Win 94 ranger goes for!) and it is unfired!!!
Made in 1968. Nice little Commemorative Winchester 30-30. Not crazy about Barak's home state but at least it has Lincoln on there......
Of course it will get shot.

Also thinking about a ladder type sight to replace the rear. What do you think??????

It is handsome enough. The commemorative editions of the 94 seem to pop up frequently. Sellers often bought them in the belief that they would grow in value; few have. Still, most are shooters. I'd say that you did well. Enjoy. I'm certain that your load work will be of interest. Congratulations on your find.

Cool find Fotis. The little 30-30 is always a great rifle to have around!

This one is going to ride around a lot in my truck

The Model 94 was built to accompany the individual who owns it. I believe you will honour the spirit of the creator who brought this rifle into existence.

Fotis,

That is very nice. It will serve you well as a truck gun.
One of the short Boyt cases should give you the protection you need from bumps and bruses.

Perfect truck rifle. My 270WSM is riding in the truck nowadays.. Should switch it out for a lever gun though!

Don't have to worry about that..

That is what I hated about our Base during my military career. Had to ensure no weapons in the vehicles.

Now I have to do the same with Echostar where I fly the satellites. No weapons of any sort on company grounds!!! ARGH!!!!!!

Yup, I watch my P's and Q's when I have to transit bases. Maryland is the worst. They are UnAmerican with their gun control!

Fotis -
Does Wyoming require you to case a rifle when you are in the truck, or just not have it loaded? Seems like most cowboy cadillacs I saw had a gun rack in the back window or overhead in the cab. Everyone I hunt with in Montana has a rack or two in the cab.

 

[FOTIS]

NOPE Not at all. I have this setup mounted on my truck seats.

that's as nice set too. I really like the overhead rack my buddy in Glendive has in his truck. Quick easy velcro strap access and I haven't hit my bald knob on it no matter how big the bumps so far!! :grin:

It would be great if we could transport that way here in BC.

I Love Wyoming!
