These are two of mine. One from each grandfather. I have been lucky enough to have a few handed down.
One is a 30-40 saddle ring carbine that my grandpa bought as surplus. He lived in Wyoming so it was lightly modified which included drilling and tapping the receiver. A scope in Wyoming was a must.
The second was my other grandfathers Winchester 94. He saw his guns as tools and used them that way. It has absolutely no blueing left the stock is beat to hell and he carved a notch in the buttstock for every animal he took with it. From the stories my family tell he shot deer and bear with it in Colorado. They aren't worth much but no amount of money could buy them.
