I've read all the Longmire books, and the CJ Box books, and watched the Longmire series on Netflix (not as good as the books, but I digress
)...I mentioned that Walt carries a "really cool rifle" and my wife picked up on it and wants to ask Santa to bring me one.
I found out it's a Winchester/Browning 1894 (94) and did a little research, finding out the pre-'64s carry the most clout etc (not really interested in a "collectors rifle")...but wanted the brain trusts suggestions.
I don't hunt and not really a "gun-guy"...my "arsenal" consists of various pistols, shotguns, AR, CZ .22 (for practice) and a Browning .308. I just think it would be fun to own something like the 94 for killing paper.
Should I stay w/ a 94 and if so what vintage?...or look for a model 73?...or something else?
I look at buying stuff like this as an fun investment regarding the $$, rather than going after a cheaper look-alike (even if that is available)
