One of my favorite firearms is a rifle bequeathed to me by my grandparents that was originally purchased as a hunting rifle by my late great grandfather. I cherish it for the sentimental value it holds, but it’s also a great shooter and always a pleasure to take to the range. The rifle I’m referencing, pictured here, is a lovely lever-action, the Winchester Model ’94. My great grandfather originally purchased the rifle in 1954. He originally intended to use it (and did—often) as a hunting rifle, and decided the .32 Winchester Special model would suit him best. Now that the Winchester is in my possession, I don’t take it out to hunt quite like my great grandad did, exactly, but I do still enjoy the pop of the .32 Win Special cartridge. As it turns out, it’s a great round for dispatching dinos (to see what I mean, check out the vid embedded above).
EricKmiecik I did, indeed. Those pink mist target packs are too much fun.
MThomas Much obliged. Glad you enjoyed it. ^_^
Muskrat hahaha I see what you did there :p
AlessioBaldi That rifle has taken down more than a few of ’em in its day ;] My grandma hunted with it, too, after my great-grandfather passed it down to her.
hartcreek Fortunately for the Winchester, it eats those LEVERevolution .32 Special rounds like candy! Makes for fun range time for me at no damage to the rifle. 😀

So that is a little chunk of rubber fitting in the hollow……sure looks easirer thetnthe old rubber cement method on hollowpoints.
I have one from 1927 in 30-30 that was my great grandfather’s. still shoots like a dream
I’ve got my Dad’s .3030, purchased by him in 1956 I think. Classic old hunter. BTW, where WOULD one shoot a T-Rex? I think base of the skull if you could, otherwise I think I would try the leg forst and then finish off with with a head shot. Unless shooting from ambush, I’d be afraid the thing would run me down before it bled out from a heart-lung shot! I’ll probably never have THAT problem though!
