    Are You Kidding Me??

    I pulled this 30/30 ad up today off of Backpage. This can't be for real, is it??

    Ummmm .... that's what some of the guys who read the glossy mags call a "tactical" rifle these days. Just what tactics are involved, I can't say, and they never seem quite able to tell me how they've "improved" the gun, but .... I'm gittin' old, and there's a lot of things I just don't understand these days. Must be "ol' timer's disease" settin' in?

    Yep that is the way some view a lever rifle. It sure is a different trail I would want to wander.
    I can see a bunch of old Spencer and Henry shooters sitting around a fire wondering at those "new fangled Winchesters that neither load from the Butt stock or from the muzzle end but of all places the right side of the frame ! Never gonna work or catch on !"

    It needs a detachable magazine to look authentic.

    Give it a detachable mag, and I'll buy one!!!!
    Hey, it's not normal I'll give you that, but it's pretty cost effective, and I don't want to knock it till I try it.

    That rifle has been haunting us for a couple of years now, if it were mine I would take all the plastic **** off and put on a nice walnut stock.

    You have cat to be kitten me right meow! That is ugly. Someone will buy them though. There is a shoulder for every rifle.

    I agree "not normal" but I likely had the same thoughts the first time I heard of a Glock.

    Should have been a warning about "disturbing graphic content" on this post, I can't unsee that thing!

    The first time I saw one I thought it was the ugliest 30-30 I had ever seen. Haven't changed my mind. The plastic doesn't make it any handier.

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.
