I miss my 30winchestcenterfires.

Had three over the years, two 94 trappers and a Marlin 336.

Took some stuff with them.

Hope photobucket works again!

Yes, Henry repeating arms.

Originally built around the Erma leveraction of Germany and now expanded with similar designs of Marlin and Browning BL series.

Accurate for what is the next question?

My first Winchester in 30/30 I use to regularly shoot crows and rabbits to 150yards.

Forget the words tactical and sniper and replace with " comes up like a shotgun".

They fly to the shoulder and track a moving target naturally.

This was my last leveraction, a Winchester legacy in 357m. I could down load it for small game.

Or have it zipping along for up to 150yd fox shooting.

Aye he seems to like his Henry ,I also watched moonshiners on tv and one of the lads on their had a rifle similar to yours seen him shoot boar running with it,quite impressed I was

Between 30/30  and 357 there is little between them power wise. One is legal for deer and one isn't. Go figure!

[Underdog 2,337]

Well look at this.

A 30wcf case I pulled out of the top of a rotting post. I pushed it in about 15 years ago! Next to it is also one of my old 243 cases!

nice looking u/levers.love my little henry in .357 mag.only shot about 200 rounds through mine in last couple of days.will have to practice more.recently shot out to 100y yards with mine and it did about 3.5inch group for 50 shots.would need a lot more load development if i shot 100y regular.great fun guns and very versatile,liking the little magnum calibre more and more

Lovely guns, but how did you get 30 for fox? I'm guessing these are deer authorised and AOLQ?

I told them I want it for fox. The good reason was I shoot in woodland alot with twigs everywhere and 224 and 243 bullets are being deflected to easily and risking wounding. Shots tend to be to far for a shotgun. I need a little added bullet weight and moderate velocity.

I had 30/30, 308 and 357 all for fox (and deer). Eventually I lost that ground and where I am now there are more walkers so I volunteered to surrender the CF for the rimfire and am no worse of for it.

Give them a good reason and they are off the hook! Just doesn't work so well for a longrifle due to illegal home office guidelines!

I do miss them occasionally but have many many fond memories.
