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

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
Shawn

I'm still learning myself, but I'd be glad to get a list of everything I have for you later today (when I get home).

Sears model 54 in 30-30.  It is the Winchester mod 94; the difference in the front stock band is wider than the 94 and it is marked Sears.

I saw an Uberti at Joe's yesterday in .45LC with a octagon barrel, I think it is the 1874 model.  I have to save up for this one
Progressives are coming for your guns. 
What are you going to do?

Well me, I do not have any guns, gave away or sold them 15 years ago.

Marlin 30-30 modle 336. Good shooter. Also have my Grandpas OLD Marlin 30-30 that has killed deer in the hands of most my family members. It has an old Pacific scope fixed 4 power on it. I put a Leupold 2x7x33 on my 336. Both rifles shoot great!

Winchester model 71 chambered in .348
I think that the model 71 is the pinnacle of winchester lever actions!



  It's definitely a very solid built levergun.  100% machined parts.  Mine was manufactured in 1939.  Winchester quit making them after 20 years because they were too expensive to manufacture.  It flat out put's the hurt on anything hit with it.  My father owned one in the 50's.  His hunting stories were the reason I went looking for one.  Here's a good article about them in case anyone is interested.

Marlin 336, 35 rem,the most accurate round nose lever gun I've ever seen. 336 much better gun than the 94 IMO. 35 ballistically superior to the 30-30 in every way.

Winchester Model 88, 308 caliber, great brush gun. I have killed many deer and elk with that little beauty.

I agree on the Winchester Model 88 in .308.  I believe they are built better than the Savage 99's.  My dad even had "Model 88" at one time for his license plate and no one knew what it meant until we met a guy in Yak, Montana one year when we were up there hunting and the guy asked dad what caliber was his favorite.  I think they made it in .243, .264, and 35 Whelan also.  The .308 has shot a bunch of deer and remains one of my favorite rifles.  Too bad Winchester quit making them 40 years ago.   :(

Savage model 99, .300 savage.  Groups touch at 100 yards with factory loads.  Don't want to shoot it must past 200, but it's one sweet shooter.

Browning BLR in .358.  This gun in the stainless version is about as good as it gets for sub 250 yard shots.  Perfect blend of big bullet capability and reach.
