Had a great day! Tagged out yesterday on this guy. I got him with my newest 1886, a 120 year old ltw 33 deluxe. WOW I love that gun and cartridge.

Well done! Something very special hunting with an old Winchester. I took my 117 year old .33 out for sambar down here in Australia a month back. It was an enjoyable experience

A man can never have too many WINCHESTERS...

Yes it is! I am now an even bigger fan of the 33 as I had to put that round thru a pile of branches and a 12″ gap between trees. I will be toting that old girl again next year.

They were reloads, just not mine. A friend of mine gave them to me.
