First gun was my great grandfathers model 94 pre 64 30-30 when he gave me the gun he still had a half a box of the shells winchester silver tip, shot my first buck with it when I was 15. This was the year1990
Now I shoot a 6mm remington Herters u9 bsa it was made in England but you could buy it through herters catalog and have it shipped right to your door.
Its looks exactly like this one but isn't as nice of shape, my little brother cracked the stock when he was trying to get down form the tree stand. It had a redfield wide view 3x9, I replaced it with a 3x9 trijicon AccuPoint TR20-1G scope which is night and day difference in glass, nice thing about the trijicon its got a tritium powered fiber optic green dot that never needs to be charged. Its only first focal plane which for me doesn't bother me since I shoot at around 5 to 6 power and turn my cross hairs to almost nothing and just use the green dot when aiming.
