Edgar what caliber is your 76? Friend has an 86 next generation action but it is cool gun as well.

Calvin, my '76 is in 40-82WCF.
I also like the '86s and foolishly let a guy talk me out of my 45-90 takedown. |

I have a crudely butchered 16" Win 1886 T/D in .45-90. Wicked fast little bear gun and bungees onto the front rack of a Honda quad quite nicely. It's the only gun I have that I've had to use to kill a bear in self defense.

It's no secret I love Winchesters, and in particular, lever guns.
I'm coming to grips with my dilema of having too much stuff, and am selling a lot of my special order 94 rifles. The last to go will probably be a 25-35 semi deluxe with shotgun butt, half round / half oct, pistol grip, set trigger beach front and Lyman tang. I chased that one for over ten years. Or maybe the last one will be the set trigger Half round 38-55. No, it'll have to be the 98% takedown. I know, I'll keep them all. |

I had a chance about 3 years ago to buy a 76 win. in 50/95 at the southern but I had already purchased a Boss and my budget was a little dented. Wanted one ever sense so I bought a replica.

The Southern is a good place to dent the budget, mine has been dented there every year for as long as I've gone
 . I'm trying to pre buy this year

You will probable regret that. A better strategy might be to pre- approve some purchases in your area and then attend the southern. That way if you find something better than buy it. If not than this will leave you time to develop some serious Buyers remorse about the Items you pre approved. I am sure this advise isn't worth the time it took to type it.

I have already pre bought one that I'll pick up there and am working on two more also to be picked up at the Southern. This way I get what I want and am financially dented before I get there and won't/can't be influenced into another purchase......I hope
