It's been many years since I had to part with my model 94 Winchester 30 -30, but I remember it well. When I was a young man which I still feel like I am even if my body tells me different at times, I bought my first deer rifle. It was my Winchester 30-30 model 94. Man, I loved that gun.

Not popped together with almost real material. It was the real Winchester with a saddle ring and all.
