Why oh why did I shoot this gun?

I have two LNIB Winchester '94s: a Legacy and a Trapper, both in .30-30. I bought the Trapper before I heard the news about the plant closure because I had wanted it for awhile. I ran out and got the last Legacy at the gunshop as soon as I heard the news.

I'd put about 50 rounds through each to check out ballistics and see how they'd sight in. Then I put them away, .30-30 being more expensive to shoot than my other rifles. After awhile, I told myself that I'd sell them, since they were gathering dust in the safe.

On a whim today, I took the Trapper out to the range to get rid of the last box of .30-30 I had. I had so much fun, now I can't bear to part with it! :(

The Legacy is now safely hidden behind all the other guns, lest I can't resist the urge to take it out next weekend. (It's for sale, btw, if anyone is interested) I have a few other safe queens that need to go as well. Someone take the ammo before I make another mistake!

A 94 trapper has always been one of my favorite brush guns in the mountains around here. Nothing else is as handy to carry all day up and down the hills in heavy timber and still have a good knockdown.
