I had a chance this weekend to get out some old 22 take downs that I have and shoot them.
The pump is a 1890 winchester in 22 short that was my grandfathers' then my uncle's then my dad's now mine and some day my son's and so on at least I have hopes of that.
The single shot is a modle 27 Hamilton in 22. I'm assuming that it is a 22 short. I haven't tried longs in it yet to see if they would fit but shorts are fun. I recieved it on a trade a few years ago and have the origional bill of sale where some guy bought it with furs from a shop that was about 25 miles from here back in the day.
The Winchester will hold about a 3" group at 20 yards and shoots very high maybe 4"
The Hamilton is just the opposite and shoots about 4" low at 20 yards.
My hope is to be able to get them back into the bush this year and humt some small game this season. No reason to let a couple of old dogs stay on the porch just cause they are old.
Just thought I'd share some pics of a couple of great old rifles.
