…Mike, feel free to adopt me! I’ll be 61 this year, but being a disabled combat veteran it probably pushes me to 70. I’m always looking for a deal on a 52 and a 58 to complete my rimfire samples. I just can see spending over 1k for a 52.
The 1886 on top is my

…never paid him for the two guns. I was 15 at the time and had little interest in guns. Two family heirlooms gone forever. He did keep my Moms 1949 Target Woodsman which now resides in my safe. I would give every gun I own for that 1937 Colt. Big Larry

…cleaning this rifle. Look at all the patches it took to get the copper out. I used both sides of each patch.
On the last day I shot the Model 70 I also shot 3 powder charges with the 6.5 Creedmoor. Bottom right and bottom left are the same charge weight. Bottom right was 5 foulers. Top

Nothing for the 76? bummer. 45/70 I wouldn't think to be called obsolete.

They advise to place your backorders before they are sold out.

All things considered it was a good project. This gun has been around for over 70 years enduring treatment we'll never be privy to. It's a tribute to Winchester engineering and craftsmanship IMHO that this sporter shoots as well…
