- I have been asked many times what is my favorite North American rifle. The answer lies in this video! Here we discuss the Mauser 98, and a range of original Winchester Models including the Winchester 1886, the Winchester 1892, and the Winchester 1894. I also have a discovery in rifle accuracy to share and some interesting cartridges. Standing the test of time, find out what Winchester is the easiest "go to" rifle. I hope you like this one.

I will never understand what people want to achieve with nasty comments like that. I wish you the best of health, always!
peterpta Someone was wishing the Wu Flu 😷 on Mike? I totally missed it but then l am a bit thick headed anyway and totally desensitized to shouting insults verbal and physical abuse. Twelve years in the CF 😂🤣LMAO🇨🇦
@@randyschaff8939 Hey Randy, I can't believe anyone would wish that on Mike either. He's such a mellow guy.
Which part of the CF did you get abused in ;) I did 7 as a grunt.
@@randyschaff8939 thank you for your service
I am sure the person wishing you sickness is already suffering from within & hence his remarks. Long live USOG.
Agreed
I'm glad I missed that. WTF is wrong with people I'll never understand. Life is the most important thing
Lots of lunatics out there.
@@markbingamon9351 Mark. Some people have absolutely nothing going for them, they are not happy within themselves, so they want to make others just as miserable. The best thing is to just ignore them, they are not worth any effort. Other people try and bring a little bit of happiness and enjoyment to others, they are the ones worth devoting time to mate. My Father used to say to me, son, always treat people how you would like to be treated yourself and I always have.
I'm also glad I missed that comment. Miserable PIECE OF SH_ _ PERSON.
Hard times bring out the best in folks , unfortunately they also bring out the most miserable as well . Stay Healthy USOG! We need you!
Here in the USA it is COVID-19 to the kazillionth power all day every day. What a relief to the brain and soul to have your videos to educate us, make us smile, and hear from a good man and a friend.
Edward Godic well said
After 25 years in the military I wish I had started my rifle collection sooner, but your video make up for it. Your cantor, your understanding and presentation are outstanding. Thank you.
I can remember buying that Dominion (C-I-L) brand of ammo here in Canada, yes I am that old!
...and buying one box ( of 50 rounds ) of .22 long C.I.L. ammunition ( I seem to remember costing 50 cents ) to take out to my family's 'country place' so I can shoot 'all weekend' at nothing in particular, except perhaps many, many tin cans were turned into sieves. Ah yes, those were the days for sure!
Whiz-Bang was the day!
Every canadian dad has like hundreds of boxes of old dominion and those blue imperial shotgun shells hiding away somewhere lol every time I rabbit hunt with an older gentleman they always have those old imperial shells lol
If I asked somebody their favorite rifle, and they said a model 94 in 25-35, I'd say well done sir, well done :).
LeftThumbBreak I have a model 94 25_35 and 38_55 30wcf =30_30 32 special and model 92s in 38_40 and 44_40and a modern Rossi puma 92 in 44 mag all great guns
I own a original Winchester Model 1894 with a saddle ring, that is 110 years old. Calibre is 25-35. I do still rarely shoot it. I love such old classic rifles. But for hunting I would rather like to have the Mauser 98 rifle shown and presented at the beginning of this video.
I have a 64 built in 1940, chambered for 25-35. I have taken antelope with it and hope to get a deer with it soon. While it is not my favorite rifle, I doubt if I will ever sell it and I hope to do a lot more hunting with it.
Thank you for all your efforts
I used to represent US Repeating Arms in VA and WV when the Angle Eject was introduced. On a trip to the factory I shot one topped with a Leupold VX-III 1.5-5 scope. They had a 100 yard indoor underground range at the old factory. My first group size was 1.25". One of the Angle Eject big bore '94s shot 1.5" equipped the same way. Frankly I did no better with a Model 70 fresh off the line. Good days.
I wanted the big bore 94 since they came out. I've had several people tell me they are a little brutal to shoot.
I bought a 94 angle eject black shadow chambered for 30-30. The original owner used it for shooting cast bullet loads with a Williams receiver sight on it. He said the best group he ever shot with it, using the cast bullet loads, was a one inch group at 200 yds. He gave me his cast bullet load but I wasn't really interested in that. This was when hornady came out with their FTX leverevolution load, and that was what I was interested in. I had never used a receiver peep sight before but promptly shot very impressive groups with the new ammo (for me anyway). I then had a friend shoot it, and he fired a 5 shot group with the hornady ammo. He called one shot a flyer. That flyer opened his group to 1 and 1/8th inch, the other 4 easily in 1 inch at 100 yds. Since then, I replaced the receiver sight with a 2-7 Leupold scope and since then, for me, it regularly delivers groups not much over an inch. It has worked wonderfully to take multiple deer and antelope. I put the receiver sight on an angle eject 94 trapper in 44 mag. I sighted it in and shot a 1 inch group at 100 yds with it. I then took it out and harvested an antelope doe. I also have a 64 chambered for 25-35 with the factory open sights. While it hasn't grouped 1 inch, it has shot as well as some scoped bolt rifles I have used. I took an antelope with it also. Nothing wrong with Winchester lever rifles.
Hi Mike. You're clealy affected by some bad comments someone has made. Unfortunately you've concentrated on something so negative when you have so many positive people who support, respect and enjoy your vids. YOU'RE the reason i own a 94 in 22 mag. I was just lucky i found the very rare semi pistol grip version. I did send you a message about it recently. To which you replied of course. You're the reason I'm going to own a Marlin 39a and the Chuckster. Keep smiling mate. You make me smile. All the best mate. Keep em coming. Kurt.
Thank you Kurt! I keep trying.
Thats incredibly interesting about the 39a - on the back of USOG's excellent tutorial on the 39a - I searched long & hard & found a pristine example which i jumped on. I had a few issues with failure to fires at first but replaced the firing pin & it now shoots wonderfully - hoping you find a nice 39a also.
Love your videos, stay well and make many more. Not only are you interesting and informative, but your style is as soothing as Mr. Rogers; who always had a good word and a great message.
Thank you W.C. - I keep going and am truly appreciative of your words - I need support and understanding; as we all do. God Bless.
Thank you Mike. I confess, some of the bumps make me wince. But I dont see it as a character flaw. I just see a generous man sharing his abundance of knowledge and amazing collection of historic or just very interesting firearms with his viewers. Thank you!
Thanks Target Suite! These words help me!
Wow my friend l remember paying $5.00 for a 20 rd. box of Dominion .303Brit. and $2.00 for a deer tag. The old Army and Navy store.
$35.00 for a No 4 Mk 1 at Simpson Sears. Looking forward to more of your excellent videos . Also greatly amused about your getting scolded for “bumping” the firearms. 😂🤣🤠🇨🇦
I remember no 4's at Woolco going for $ 10.00 in the 60's.
@@paulchandler9646 I remember Kresge's five-and-dime had wooden barrels full of 1898 Mausers dirt cheap. Some were in perfect condition, just covered in dirt and grease.
albert johnson That is going a ways back and the full stock complete rifles weren’t even sought after. Everyone wanted the “sporterized “ ones. stripping out those excellent aperture sights and trying to put open sights and scopes on them.🇨🇦🤠
@@system3870 Early 60's Regina, SK Army and Navy store with wooden barrels full of full wood and sport cut Enfield MK 4's. Can't remember the price on the full wood rifles but I paid $9.97 for my MK 4 Sport Cut. Left the aperture sights on it and took many Whitetails. Sold the darned thing in the mid 70's, never should have, it was a sound rifle.
Amazing times - those early days. I have a hunch we were the lucky ones.
I mean this in a totally positive way - you are the most stereotypically polite Canadian I've ever seen. Seriously a true gentleman and you post great content. Thanks for doing what you do, and I'll keep watching.
Mike from Vermont. Be safe and stay healthy! We need good guys like you around when this is all over!
Thank you mate for your amazing videos you bring me happiness and entertainment during these tough and uncertain times . Stay safe and take care from all of us in Australia
LOVE THE VIDEOS MIKE GREAT WORK
Love your videos . Thanks for sharing .
Well said and well done. Really appreciate your channel.
Thanks for another great video.
Love your videos and collection! Thanks USOG!!
The old Winchester center-fire cartridges are really unsung heroes with the exceptions of the .30-30 and .44-40 which receive their praise. But the .25-35, .38-40, .32-20 and .25-20 are seriously underrated. They are a re loaders dream. I'm willing to bet that there were more .25-20 win92's than any other cartridge except the .44-40.
38-40 is my favorite "original short rifle cartridge". So many 40 Cal projectiles on today's market. It looks like a 3030 that hasn't hit puberty yet. Lol
@@jeramyw thats what im saying. these cartridges are underrated. take a reloader and a .38-40 magically becomes a 10mm, a .32-20 becomes a .327fed and a .25-20 becomes a .22hornetish)
@@burnsboysaresoldiers I picked up a 1910 vintage 1892 in 38-40. First thing that attracted me was the superb metal finish. Deep dark bluing all around. The second was the caliber. At that point I had never heard of it. Quick Google search brought up 40 Cal. Cha ching. The wood is alright, sights are gone, needs a new firing pin, and to top it off the barrel was shot out. All that culminated into the perfect gun for me. Beautiful and cheap(comparatively). New sights, firing pin, a barrel liner (1:25 chromoly vs old 1:36), and some brand new loads would bring it up to date while still looking old. :) I couldn't be happier. People have gotten 2000 fps out of these 38-40s but I'll stick around 1400 fps. Good hollow point velocity.
@@burnsboysaresoldiers I also had the idea to take a Ruger GP 100 Lipsey's 10mm auto and turn it into a convertible. Just add a cylinder for 38-40 and a cylinder for 10mm MAGNUM. 40 s&w would also work. The same could be done for 32-20/327 mag and 44-40/44 mag or special.
@@jeramyw exactly, there is no reason why a reloader can't get a 200grain bullet going 1,300fps. Original black powder load for the .44-40 was a 200grain bullet going 1,300. these cartridges aren't like a .357 or .44 because these were meant to be out of a rifle from the beginning.
Really appreciate your encouraging words at the beginning of the video. Needed that right now.
Your collection never ceases to amaze me.
Stay safe, my friend. As always, a very good video.
great video. model 94 in 30 30 would be my go to gun if i had to carry a gun day to day just such a great design. be fun to have one in 219 zipper. best gun channel on youtube now that you dont bump guns, ha. take care.
Great stuff as always! Huge thanks
Thanks Richard
Thank you for the wonderful information and your channel.
Thank you for being here Zach!
Thank you so much for your excellent reviews. Much appreciated. Please dont get sick 😃 .cheers.
Love the opening monologue. Thank you.
I used to have a beautiful ‘52 1894. I rarely shot it & when I did it wasn’t all that enjoyable. So I sold it. I regret it though as is was just gorgeous & later I discovered a buddy really wanted one.
Great video, love the Winchester 94 myself
Just bought my first 1892, so very happy that you made this video. Thank you. A Miroku by the way.
Thank you for the words of calm! Always enjoy your videos.
My privilege - glad my work is okay. Take care.
As always, interesting comparisons. Good information. I enjoy listening to you. I'd like you to talk sometime about the .307 Winchester and maybe the .358.
You’re my favorite gun guy on CZcams! All the best and God bless you and yours always.
Another great video. And great rifles all.
You have an amazing collection sir
Thanks for the video! Love lever guns and have several, mostly Henry rifles. Sadly, I sold my 94 and of course now wish I had not. Stay safe and ignore the haters.
Brother, you are so collected and calm. I subscribed for this reason. Your beautiful collection too of course. Good health to you and yours during this.
Thank you for your kindness; it helps me - and all the best to you as well.
Thank you for your time and energy. Stay safe and as long as you keep making these videos I’ll keep watching
These words inspire me. Thank you!
Love my late 40s production 94, the slickest lever gun I've ever encountered. Want to get an 1886 but they're too expensive for my budget at the moment.
Edit: What kind of monsters would want you to get sick and die? Shameful.
stay safe Mike Great shows love them to bad the monsters don.t run into SASquatch show them who.s BOSS///
It was really the slickest shooting? Is that you John Wayne? Rooting tooting gun slinger you
You do such a great job with your relaxing, informative videos. I grew up in the ranch country of southern Alberta where if someone said "rifle" they meant Winchester :) Love that "86 for sure.
I have 5 mausers , and 5 Marlins, both are excellent choices and fun to shoot.
Hope you are well I love your videos keeps me going during this time as you I see light at the end of the tunnel thanks again
Thank you Kevin - I send my wishes for health, strength and happiness.
Great video's my friend! Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of firearms and the fantastic rifles's you bring to the table. You can never satisfy everyone, Thank You and be Safe!
Thank you Bruce - and wise words I should listen too. Thank you again.
Stay safe and healthy my friend. I have three lever action 30-30’s but I’m open for another in 357, and that Henry with a case hardened receiver is calling to me. Be smart stay safe👍
Thank you Mike for all you do for the firearm fans out there. Your videos are just enjoyable and not full of a lot of b.s. that a lot of others are. Stay safe
Thank You. These classic designs have stood the test of time twofold, they have proven to be durable and enduring.
I wonder what you might think of the Winchester model 71 in .348. They seem to be very rare and the last iteration
of the 1886. I had never seen one until recently when a friend brought it in to be evaluated, it handled beautifully
and didn't strike me as heavy but well balanced with a 24" barrel.
Thanks again for sharing your enthusiasm with us, don't ever stop.
Thank you for your great videos. I love my Winchester lever guns, but these days I have been shooting my Marlins and Take down Brownings more because they are faster and easier to clean from a day at the range. You can’t beat the feel of the Winchesters in your hand and out in the field. Quick, light and accurate.
Really enjoyed this video Mike. As a long time subscriber of your channel, the first rifle I bought was a Winchester 94 in 30-30. It’s a new one, but I love shooting it and I believe it is an excellent quality made even though it is made in Japan. As for those people who post negative comments, they must just be unhappy in general. If they could just learn to express more gratitude in their lives, they’d be happier. Stay safe Mike.
You are a gentleman. Thank you for your thorough discussion of winchester rifles in your collection. I recently purchased 2 1950’s model 94’s and am very excited to use them. Anyone who has wished you ill health or spoke negatively about any part of your films is not worth ever mentioning. Please continue producing this very fine content. I have subscribed and look forward to enjoying many more.
thank you again, sir. you're a walking encyclopedia!
Love his naration and very calm nice video great guns.
Thank you Rajendra 🙏
Great video as always! I'd love to see you do a video on the newly made Henry rifles. I'm thinking about getting one in the future.
Good idea - I'll get on in the studio - I wonder if those receivers on the Henry's are steel or aluminum with anodizing, or plating for the brass ones.
Thanks for another great video. Reassuring as I recently purchased a new model 94 in 38-55.
That was one of the first (one of 2 - the 38-55), and still the best. I run out of words when it comes to the 94. I'm thinking the 94 is freedom - from way back.
Great review!!
Thank you Arnold
Thank you for giving us interesting and informative videos. I hope and pray you get well.
Thank you Steven and God Bless you and yours.
Another totally enjoyable video.
Entertaining and educational!
Videos like these make CZcams worth watching.
Thank you Nigel!
Mike, You're a magician! I picked up a 1972 '94 in good Ol' 30-30 last week. How'd you decide to make a video about the latest rifle I've found, never ceases to amaze me...
Anyways, I took it to the range and it holds a 2-3" group @ 100yds. Yes, perfect minute of whitetail, even with my older eyes...
Funny enough, while all 9, 40, 45, and 223 seems to have evaporated lately, I purchased 6 boxes of Remington Corelock 125g Reduced Recoil on sale for $10/box. Range day was fun.
One quick note - in addition to the reduced loads, I also had some Winchester Silver box 170's. Both types of ammo had the same felt recoil and the same POI at 25, 50, and 100yds. I got a great price on the Remington ammo because it had been marked down by Walmart to get rid of but the original price was a few dollars more than the Winchester. Go figure, Remington puts less powder in the case and then charges more because it's "for younger or smaller shooters". A first class marketing campaign by Big Green. LOL! Too bad it sat on the shelves and sold for a giveaway price.
Thanks and take care!
my fav. also.. Thanks for sharing.
You have great videos
Love this video. One of my favorite rifles is my 1954 Winchester model 94 in 32Winchester special. Extremely accurate with just iron sites to 250 yards. Probably more but my old eyes can't see any better.. This rifle was purchased by my dad the day I was born so we have a living history together. Enjoy your channel and am always impressed with your knowledge and collection not sure which is greater but sure surpasses my own.
I really enjoy your videos. My grandfather left me his model 1894 Winchester which according to the s/n was mfg in 1929. It is a 25/35 caliber and has taken lots of whitetail deer and turkeys. About 60 years ago I even shot at a mountain lion with it but his lucky day as I missed. Keep up the good work and I’m looking forward to more of ur videos.
I LOVE this Channel
Found and subscribed to your channel, enjoy your submissions similar interest. The Winchester lever actions are amongst my personal favorites and wonderful for woods walking. Most game is taken at 100 yards and even at shorter ranges E of the Mississippi and even in Texas. When younger I felt the magnum rifles were they way to go and maybe in Colorado or Montana it's nice to have, but the .30-30 will still bring home venison and pork readily and does so every year. I've never owned a .25-35 but when a bunch of us least some land in TX for a 2 week hunt, we stopped at an old run down cabin where this sun beaten Texan then in his 50s was cleaning a deer A DAY BEFORE SEASON OPENING. We were looking for our lease and up against the porch was a silver colored Model 92 carbine, the finish worn from years of carry. He asked what guns we were using then said pointing to this saddle ring Model 94, get yourself a .25-35 that's all the gun you need. We were experienced hunters and I bet he had killed more that we in total have ever seen
I get my first my first model 94, a Miroku 30-30 short, today and out of the many guns I have acquired I think I am the most excited on this day. It may be a tie with the M1 Garand. Thank you for sharing your videos. I enjoy watching and often learn from your productions.
Great vid...i got a Winchester model 94 antique model made in 1975 76..it’s a saddle ring carbine in 30.30 ..you can carry it from daylight to dark without a problem she’s so light and portable..and can kick ass if you need it too
Thank you. I suppose the Model 94 had to rise to the top of your selection of Favorite North American Rifle. That said, I'm glad you included the Model 92 which turns the .357 magnum into an effective rifle round. While the 94 doesn't have a free floated barrel maybe other factors; barrel length, weight and construction led to ideal harmonics that yield to accuracy. You also mentioned a 7mm and 25 caliber variant of the 94. I wasn't aware of them but these are 2 of my favorite calibers.
I appreciate you for sharing the veteran's perspective. I'm a Vietnam vet and fully agree with the perspective you presented. Shame on anyone who would wish you ill will.
You are hand's down on my top 3 Canadians to watch. You are like a human encyclopedia for long guns. Very impressive and well spoken gentleman, making very useful content. You don't seem like a gun snob. Even though you have a legendary collection of some of the best rifles in the world. I like the old school genuine feel of your collection
Enjoyed your video as all your others...just subscribed!
I have more then a few old Winchester lever guns, probably my favorite is a 1892 rifle in 32-20...good companion to a Colt police positive in 32-20 I have
I really like the old Savage 99s, is a mystery to me how Winchester managed to sell more lever guns after the Savages came out.
Have my eye on a 99 take down in 30 30 that a friend has. One thing I don’t like about many of the old Savages is that their cartridges can be hard to find in the wild.
Great video.... classic Americana that will never go away. One could never own to many Winchester levers.
I noticed you bumped a rifle a time or two and it made me feel good because it dosen't matter how hard I try not to I occasionally do it myself and now I know I'm not the only one. Thanks again, I always enjoy your videos.
Thanks Steve. I'm human. I make mistakes. I'm glad there are other humans. : )
One of the best firearms channels!
Thank-you, cheers from northern Ontario, Canada.
Great country - I remember Marathon and - not many people know how beautiful where you live is. True peace.
Cheers and stay healthy and happy.
Thank You USOG ,PLEASE Keep them Coming Friend from The Great North. We appreciate The in Depth work You Do. Another Great Subject Matter. One of the firearms I am missing from my collection.
Thanks Scott - will do! : )
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns I Purchased a model 64 last week a 1951...Sound familiar ?! thank you for the Nudge.
I just picked up a model 94, un-fired. Made in 1968. In 30-30 Win. Looks new. Recently picked up an FM Hi-Power too. Also used. Maybe one box of ammo through it. Love those John Browning designed firearms. Thanks for the share!
I admire your collection and your knowledge of firearms in general. I've found with my top ejection rifles that using a peep sight really improved my accuracy and my target acquisition time. I like the sights made by Skinner. I have used them for years. I believe he was making them in his garage when I first purchased from him but they were and still are well made and easy to adjust. Thank you for such iteresting and informative videos.
Hi Rich - I also like the Skinner sights a lot. I installed on my Marlin and it became even faster on target and greatly increased off-hand accuracy.
WoW that Mauser 98 is so beautiful!! I mean the details in that rifle 😮 !!!! I love model 94 I have one left, a 1896-98 38-55 carbine.... but the bore is in such bad shape that I stoped shooting it, but still like to handle it!!
great guy . great video . I love my 94 maybe that's the only lever I have )) thank you.
Thank you Sal - that's all one needs really - a 94.
I enjoy the angle eject feature better in my opinion as well I love these videos
Thanks for the great channel I appreciate your thorough reviews. My Father in-law (may he rest in peace) was lever collector. I have one of his .307 94 models. They are extremely rare and they are an amazing rifle and cartridge combination. Just think of it as a close to .308 ballistics with a lever. Go to Hornady's site and read the ballistic charts on LeverEvolution ammo. The gun is great to carry in the palm of your hand and is a great woods rifle. Shoots nice to about 300 yards and it is deadly on Deer they never have a chance to complain once hit. Keep up the great work. My other favorite rifle is a Remington Pump .270..another great video you had mentioned them as being great and I would concur. Thanks for all you do..amazing gun collection and knowledge.
A friend of mine inherited his brothers firearms. His brother was a gun trader at gun shows. He mainly had Wincherster model 94's. I am helping my friend sell these rifles because he is almost blind and cannot use them. I got in contact with an on line auction company and off we went. I am surprised how quickly and for how much these rifles sold. It just goes to show how well they are liked. Now if we could just get more companies manufacturing components for ammunition.
Great video! informative as always! The firearms shown are tools, so don't worry about the knocks, they can take it!
I received a model 94 as Christmas gift when I was 12. I used it to harvest many whitetails! One of my favorite rifles.
Picked up a Winchester Model '94 a couple of years ago..mine's the 'Classic' model in .30-30 Winchester: full octagon barrel, roll-engraved receiver with gold colored loading gate, blued fore end cap (not a band) and fancier grade wood. Mine is from 1981 manufacture it has the heavy gauge 'stamped ' cartridge carrier (one of the 'hallmarks' of production from that time period) but it is a nice looking piece and good shooter. Son in law has one from later production I think late '80's but pre-angle eject and safety..he is responsible for me wanting to get one I was waffling on getting one but he talked me into it..didn't take much 'encouragement'! Thanks for your great videos and relaxing comments about these times.
I like those 94s - your's and Son-in-law's - people complain but I think they're fine - I have the same as your 94 - excellent accuracy and function...as usual for 94s.
I want to wish you the Best and thank you for all your informative videos. I use to have a 7×30 Waters but unfortunately had to sell it back when I was younger and dumber.
A friend of mine and I went moose hunting. A patient and determined fellow, he carried a Winchester Model 94 in 7x30 Waters. A little light I thought but I had seen him shoot and he was posted at a spot where the distance would be 50 yards or less...if a moose showed up. A moose did show up - an amazing bull moose that he took a picture of. We asked him why he didn't shoot. "I could not shoot that beautiful animal; I just couldn't." Whenever I hear of the 7x30 - which is a superb round BTW...I remember my friend and that day. The outcome was the right one, and we were all happy for our friend for doing what he felt he needed to do. I wish you a Merry Christmas! : )
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns thank you for sharing this it made my day.
I have become obsessed with lever actions and all of the wood and steel guns you have shown. I grew up looking at Outdoor life fantasising about owning them. I have a couple. I am disabled and broke, the closest I can come to the guns I love is through your exceptional channel, and I thank you.
If you see this, 6 months late, please dont worry about the trolls, I don't understand the psychosis of a troll but it seems to very widespread. Anyone that could wish you harm or care if you bump a rifle, for that matter is a half a bubble out of plum. Please dont change a thing about your presentation, its ai nice to learn from a gentleman who loves guns as much as I do. And I'm 60, for what that's worrh.
Hi Roger - Thank you for your support. Please have a look at the Mossberg 464 - a real sleeper : steel and walnut; mine is very accurate; not expensive - simply great rifle and used ones are sometimes priced like .22s. God Bless.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns thanks so much I sure will! Had never heard about it! Wow, 300.00!! That might be doable!! Really appreciate it!!
I would say you have the most complete gun collection in the world you are the man.
Mike,
I do love the lever guns. On the 45-70, I understand the thump aspect. I am not terribly recoil sensitive, but I have that caliber in a guide gun. Great for the intended purpose, but not enjoyable on the range... "punishing" was the correct word. I have an 1886, and running a box through it during a day at the range can be a pleasure. I do very much appreciate the round. Shooting it is playing with history.
I love these style rifles and remember a time when you would walk into Kmart and they all looked wooden . An interesting video to watch is the one where they show the Remington plant from back in the 50 s . Dudes would stamp their approval and they looked like they paid great attention to the rifles .
I love the gun-bumping you do,, it shows you use the guns 👍🏽
I love that you have a 7-30 waters in a model 94. I have been searching for one for years though everyone I have found is out of my price range.
I am lucky enough to have what is called a " big bore 94" it is what the changed to with smokeless powder from the 38-55. It took me 20 yrs to get my hands on one of these and absolutely love it. Just as I'd love to have a 94 in 7-30 waters.
allways like your videos
Hello there, I'm a recent subscriber to your channel and I want to say, I do believe that USOG is going to be one of my favorites. I love the way you present your videos and the content, IMHO, is outstanding.
Pay no heed to the ignorance of some people. They, in my estimation, are jealous of what you have and, your knowledge. Those firearms are yours. You bought them and if you wished, you could totally destroy them. Hopefully that will never happen.
I'm trying to catch up on your videos, I've got a long way to go.
Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you Harrison - I'm glad you're here and that my videos are okay. A labor of love as the saying goes. All the best to you.
Usog. Great show in the model 8 and 81 on gun stories on sportsman channel.
I consider myself very fortunate to have a nice ensemble of Lever action rifles - my favourite which may surprise but maybe not for the 1892 fans is a Browning Model 65 in 218 Bee - one of 3500 made in 1989 - with a Lyman tang sight it is my go to small varmint rifle. Thanks again for another video - we are in hard lockdown currently in Melbourne Australia but feel we are seeing some light as the infection rate is tapering down - take care all.
Good video
Another great video. Clunk the guns together all you like. They’re working tools! Stay healthy. We need you around for a long time because nobody else does what you do the way you do it!
Thank you Brent : )
I’m a Lever Action “FREAK”, and my favorites are the 1892 (38/357, 44, 44-40 & 45) & 1886 (45-70) have others, some a lot prettier but non as sweet as the ‘92’s & ‘86’s. 🤙🏼🇺🇸❤️🤠
What about the model 444marlin in cal.444 marlin if u like 45-70 u will love it
I own a Winchester 94AE Trapper in .44 Magnum and it's my favourite rifle.
I like your videos. Your very knowledgable views and calm demeanor make them a pleasure to watch and learn from.
I didn't see the last video or any of the mean comments, but the trials of our day, and the poor response by too many citizens reminds me of a favorite poem that I thought you might like. It's by Rudyard Kipling, and it's titled "If". Words to live by....
I love that poem 🙏😥 Thank you so much.
