Hello all,
This is my first post on The High Road.
My question is about a pre-64 Winchester Model 94 (my first centerfire rifle). I went and shot it today, and it was real accurate. But when I was loading up the cartridges, I scratched the loading port blueing. So my question is, do most people who buy these pre-64 Winchesters keep them for collecting reasons, or do they shoot them anyways (even if it was in 95-98% condition). Now, I guess I'll just keep shooting it by putting the cartridges in the top and shooting one at a time rather than to scratch that port any more. I guess I'm just worried about messing up a nice gun that might be colllectable one day.
Thanks for all your opinions,
Blondie
