[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 1421893, member: 74603"] Some GREAT stories. Mine - like a lot of others - was the first rifle my dad let me shoot at about age 10? (circa late 50's) - - a model 94 in 32 Winchester Special - with a fixed - 4 X Weaver - side mounted scope. In the woods in Southern Oregon - shots were not that far - usually 100 yards or less - and it worked just fine - open sight for short shots, scope for longer. We also had a 30.06 that I later inherited - which had been a 1903 Springfield - (w/ a decent 3x9 variable scope - Simmons?) - that my dad's friend had customized with a match barrel, Timiney trigger and good looking - Monte Carlo blond stock - which shot like a dream - dead on ragged holes @ 100 yds. Also had a Winchester model 97 pump 12 gauge - which had a looooong barrel - and could bring down ducks, geese and pheasant. Nothing like the good old days, eh? :) [/QUOTE]
