First deer season with an antique (73)
Had a blast packin some old iron this season. Let a little six point pass by to grow up, but he must have ratted me out. Its blackpowder season now, but all I have is smokeless.

Re: First deer season with an antique (73)
Nice picture,and classic levergun .Dont hunt anymore but always enjoyed carrying a vintage rifle or carbine .
Often drew a sight on game and wondered how many past owners and where/what did the same .
Had an 1892 SRC one time that had many notches cut in the wrist as well as a crude deer head carving . One of the last hunts called in a spring gobbler and took it with the 38WCF .

Fine old rifle. I just love to see these used for what they were intended.

That is some fine classic iron that sure looks happy out where it belongs.

I was hoping for an SRC, but this one happened by first. Still carries wonderfully. Balances just behind rear sight.M. M. Wright wrote: ↑Mon Dec 13, 2021 9:20 am Fine old rifle. I just love to see these used for what they were intended.
