Good evening and Merry Christmas to all!
My question to the forum regards a Winchester Mod. 94, but could apply to a variety of weapons so I decided to post here. The way I figure, there's probably several dozen eons worth of experience here, and I may get several opinions, but that's part of the fun, right?
My grandfather's uncle was a Texas Ranger. The rifle I inherited was his working gun - a Model 94 in .30-30 which according to the serial number left the factory in 1896. It's in great shape, wood is excellent, bluing about 90-95%. Last time it was fired was by my dad to kill a muley in South Dakota in 1967. My first venison - mighty tasty, too!
Here's the question - would you guys shoot it or just take it out and fondle it from time to time. I keep going back and forth on this and I figured it was about time to get an opinion. What say ye all? And thanks for your collective input!
