How do you like it? Seems everything you read online talks about the trigger not being great on them.Got one like it in 308!
Sorry for your Loss but that is great he thought to give you a few rifles. My 336 35 rem( see post above) was my buddy Otto's and he passed and it was willed to me. I told myself the next deer I killed would be with his rifle and it worked out(finally) . I thought I was cursed with it . His wife likes deer steak so I am going to take her some when I get it back..It is a 357 mag that has taken many deer. He past away 1.5 years ago and left me several of his firearms. We had spent many hours shooting and hunting over the last 25 years. It feels good to carry it afield and reflect of time past in the woods with him.
Thanks for sharing. As we travel the level of time, the memories we make with others that enjoy our passions are priceless.Sorry for your Loss but that is great he thought to give you a few rifles.

You can see Otto in this article but he has his 30-06 with him on this hunt.
Hunting with Otto
OK, I don't fish much in the fall and winter as I am too busy Hunting......This year so far has been one of my worst I have ever had.....To...mackinncblog.blogspot.com
It was the first rifle I ever had, my dad got it for my brother and I when we were around 15. The trigger was crisp but pretty heavy. I havn't shot it in probably 30 years or so. I did get it out and clean in up and refinished the stock maybe 1o years ago and I just recently gave it back to my brother and told him and his son to use it!How do you like it? Seems everything you read online talks about the trigger not being great on them.
Mistook a spike for a big doe tonight but the 41 magnum dropped him. Not a special deer, but it was a special memory using my late father in laws gun. He’s the one that took me hunting for the first time when I was 15 years old. Using hand loads that he put together at least 15 years ago.
Wanna double you’re money? LOL it’s all I’m good for…..Y'all have me ready to dig out my 1974 Winchester 94 (best $75 I ever spent) and resight it. I put fiber optic sights on but removed them as they just didn't look right for the gun to my eyes.

What is it?
A 48 year old Winchester Model 88 in .308, my primary deer rifle.What is it?
Them thangs is quite expensive nowadays based on what I'm seeing on Gunbroker. Yours is a beautiful rifle.A 48 year old Winchester Model 88 in .308, my primary deer rifle.
Thanks, I had 3 others, but they were just spares sitting in the safe, so sold them in last few years. Was hard for them to get any playing time off the bench, with "Mr. Deadly" never letting me down.Them thangs is quite expensive nowadays based on what I'm seeing on Gunbroker.

Props for open sights.I'm trying to bust on with my 1895 45/70. I've had it two years but really hunting with it this year
Props for open sights.
You should start a thread discussing that question. Not that there’s anything wrong with talking about it here either. Just made me think there’d prob be a good amount of opinions, comments, etc. Itd be a good one. Then we can talk about mismatched camo!It should almost be an open sights challenge. If you put on a scope, is a level action all that much different than a bolt action when it comes to being able to shoot a deer?
Then we can talk about mismatched camo!
Lmao glad to hear it. Makes me feel better about my mossy oak/real tree/ off brand trifecta I’ve got on right nowI think I get better shots with the mismatched camo. The deer stop and look at me strangely, giving me a little more time to line up the shot. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
How old are you? Just curious? I am older and my eye sight is going bad so I use a scope.You should start a thread discussing that question.

If you want a real challenge, I can add a link for you to join....I think
Good for you and those 80 year olds and everyone else with great eyesight! Cherish itWell, I'm 58. I know some 80 year olds with sharp eyesight.
I like the idea of an open sight challenge. My 336 has had open sights and scopes on it and now it has a peep and I haven't hunted with it in a while but I am probably good until just after sunset. My corrected vision will let me see the animal but the front sight is probably iffy. When it did have a scope it had one from the same era as the gun. I always like seeing those 336s with those Weaver k2.5 scopes. I have a '75 Rem 760 that has a Redfield tracker from the same time frame.It should almost be an open sights challenge.
