The 'other favorites' are also into rifles now. A favorite for me is another old family gun. Took my first deer and first moose with it. It is a Model 94 Winchester (octagon barreled) in 30-30. Another very rough gun that I had refurbished back in the mid '80's, including new wood, but didn't reassemble until sometime in the mid '90's. Haven't used it since, as I have passed on big game and just chase upland birds. It rests in the "steel tomb" but looks very nice when some light is shed upon it.
Cheers,
Jack
