[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wish List

Posted: 5/11/2012 11:43:28 PM EDT

I love lever action rifles. I grew up loving them, because my father did. He had a Winchester 94 in .32 Special that he cherished. He was a great shot with it, routinely outshooting and pissing off all of my mom's big burly brothers with his marksmanship. Since leaving home all those years ago, I've accumulated a few rifles of my own, but I still have a few gaps in my collection.

I'd like to have a Winchester 94 Trapper, pre-safety, in .44 magnum. I'd also like to have a pre-Remington Marlin in 45/70 and just about anything else that catches my eye and I just got to have.

What's on your wish list?

Winchester 94 Trapper/Ranger .357 Pre Safety?? Does it exist?

I know the 44 mag does but i've never seen them in .357 without safeties.

My grandfather had one of those, and it's one of the few he ever sold. I wish I had a chance to shoot it. Now that I reload I could afford to shoot that old .348... Oh well.

I do a little Cowboy Action Shooting and I would love to have an iron frame Henry just for the coolness factor.....

I really want an old Win. model 1886, but sadly, ones in really good, shootable condition, seem to be going for way to much right now.

I've been looking for a Winchester 94 Wrangler .44 large loop tang safety to complete the Wrangler collection. No luck anywhere. I'm getting up there in age and want to leave a complete set to my grandson, but not sure the .44 version even exists.
