    They're a beautiful gun but Quiqley it aint...
    I wouldn't mind Quigley's gun, but I really wish I had his eyes.

        I've got a modern made Sharps in 45-110.
        Haven't been able to use peep sites in years 😔 Gonna have to put an MVA scope on it someday.

            Nice pac gun.

            Not what you take on a trophy hunt.

            Perfect just the way it is.
            A cousin cleaning his mothers estate said here, take my 2 rifles i bought and dads win 94. Looked at it gave him $1000 in 100 dollar bills, sold his 2 for 1100 and now a proud owner of a 1936 win 94 carbine in .32 special. The gun is nothing great but its mine and has history, stuff you never sell.

                Probably heard me tell this before, i knew a polish guy who lived in ww 2. Anyway when the russians where pushing back he was teasing a russian about the rifle on his back, you think you are good with that? Rabbits there are size of dogs, without a word the russian unslingled his mosin took aim and dropped a rabbit at quite a distance. My old friend finished his story in broken english, i shut up . I can still shoot open sights, how much longer lord only knows.
