Grandsons first deer.

[oldgeezershooter]

No monster, but it doesn't matter. Model 64 Winchester, my granddad bought new in the 40's.
I killed my first deer with it, my oldest son killed his first deer with it and now the oldest grandson.85619

oldgeezershooter,

Love to hear stories about family, firearms and tradition. It's great when a firearm is passed down through the generations and becomes an important and integral part of the family's history.
Maybe I missed it, but was the caliber of that fine model 64 mentioned? 30-30, 32 Winchester Special, 25-35, 219 zipper?
