RE: A&E of Bottles - 2/26/2006 5:40:48 PM    Ye Olde Prospector   Posts: 614 Joined: 1/23/2005 From: Bath, Maine Status: offline My father used to hunt with a lever action Winchester ? 38-55 I think that had a round barrel. He got rid of it years ago, to hard to find ammo. Course my mother hunted with an old Octagon barrel 44-40 Winchester, that thing weighed a ton to carry around. I've always hunted with my trusty 30-30 though, most common deer rifle up here in the northeast.

Another hint: this gun has a little brother in my safe Sean (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 26

RE: A&E of Bottles - 2/26/2006 9:51:36 PM    amblypygi Posts: 452 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline Nope, close though. It's a .44 Magnum. Supposed to be a bear gun, but I like bears so I guess it's a wall gun now. I haven't been hunting anything in years now. Good guesses guys, I don't know how many of those they made but they're not too common. Sean PS: man look at that, bottles everywhere :) Attachment (1) (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 28

Must have been upgrade from the old Octagon barrel 44-40 that my mother hunted with. Saw that thing knock more than one deer end over end. Heavy slug not high velocity. That was almost impossible to find ammo for as well. Thanks for the info. Cliff (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 29

RE: A&E of Bottles - 2/26/2006 10:52:37 PM    Black_Boogers   Posts: 105 Joined: 5/22/2005 Status: offline Model 1894s are the best!! I haven't seen one in a .44 mag before, I was going to say it was maybe a .32-40, but you're right...the spread of the bore in the muzzle is pretty big! Here's my 1894, a regular .30-30 WCF, but it's a Saddle-Ring model and was manufactured in 1907. Still shoots like the day it was made! (well, at least I think so... I wasn't around until 53 years after it was made...) Attachment (1) _____________________________ LOVE THOSE DRAKE'S!! Rick (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 30

RE: A&E of Bottles - 2/26/2006 11:46:15 PM    capsoda Posts: 7703 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Had an 1894 in 30-40 Krag. If you hit a deer wrong with that thing it would sure make a mess. My grand mom used a 1909 model Winchester snakecharmer lever action 22 and she was good with it. She would bait a deer up close and shoot it in the head. She said that it wasn't for sport or antlers. She also used it for squrrils, rabbits and the odd robin. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 31

RE: A&E of Bottles - 2/27/2006 9:48:03 AM    amblypygi Posts: 452 Joined: 4/6/2004 From: Western Massachusetts Status: offline Here's lil brother. Another beautiful thing I think that the model '94 is the most beautiful rifle ever designed, the P-51 Mustang takes it for planes, the '68 GTO for cars (sorry Roaddog, the mopars take a very close second though), and the Python/Anaconda series for revolvers. I'm halfway there, but that P-51's gonna be tough... Attachment (1) (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 34
