Got a marlin 336 30-30.......was my dads gun he killed his first with it and many more! I killed my first 3 deer with it......good gun I think it was built in the 60s and its an awesome gun.....a real tackdriver

I have the family winchester 32 special, got the wife a sears rebranded 94 in 30-30.

eveying a pair of 32 specials at a local pawn shop for 400ish each. (I probably won't be able to get them in time... so if someone wants I'll let you know where they're at)

I have a model 94 Win...30/30. Open sights I use for heavy brush in Western wa for deer or bear. Bought it at a pawn shop in Tri Cities years ago. I like it. It's cowboyish.

Winchester 94 32 Special and a 25-35, and someday soon the 30-30

Now I know who keeps buying up all of the 32 spec ammo. I have one that was given to me for my 16th birthday in excellent condition. I haven't actually killed anything with it but it's a great gun. I will pasted down to my son when he is old enough.

Does a BLR count?  Love mine, and will buy another maybe this year, or next.  Strong as a bolt, and more caliber options.  Wish they made it in .338 Federal.  I would have one now.

I bought 10 boxes of it at shooters supply right before they went out of business.  Then I special ordered a die for it and am good to go now.  25-35 ammo has been hell trying to track down.  I thought the 25-20 would be hard but I am finding more of it thatn the 25-35.

I wish they made the BLR in 45/70.  That would be sweet.

Winchester 94 32 Special and a 25-35, and someday soon the 30-30

Now I know who keeps buying up all of the 32 spec ammo.

I started reloading because of that problem, of the 4 places I know that sometimes carries 32 special... usually only one box between them.

you get components I'll put them together for you.

I think that the model 71 is the pinnacle of winchester lever actions!

Shot my first deer with a Winchester 94 pre '64. I needd to check the age on this one because It's old.

 Traded my dad a Marlin 44 for his 336 30-30. I bought one of the current Marlin 1894s in 32 H&R MAg. Sure like the rifle but it is the heavy cowboy model. For my anniversary the wife bought me a Savage 99 in 250-3000, built 1929. This year for Christmas she bought me her grandpa's Win 88 in .308.

 As far as the .357 vs 30-30 if I ould go with the .357. It's a blast to shoot, plus you can shoot .38 specials. Although it is not as powerful as the 30-30 it is way more fun to shoot.

That would be great I have a bunch on brass. I have never gotten into reloading and wouldn't know where to start. If you could tell me everything to get that would be great.
Thanks
