neither have scopes...open sighted fast handling rifles for the thick woods for the northeast part of the country. solid shooters out to 100 yards IMO.

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.

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.

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

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

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).

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

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.
