Nostalgia Hunt today 100 year old 92

[momatt]

Long silent, our family’s old rifle spoke again today and yet another harvest has heeded its sharp call, both to the greater silence and to our table. This was the time for my cheek to press against the red colored wood from some long ago tree, to look through the buckhorn sights across the flat of its octagon barrel…my hands the fifth generation to work the lever. I have added my drop to the deep pool of history hidden beneath the surface of the black iron. It is my hope today that long from now another son or daughter of our family will carry it through the fields and woods, free and proud Americans seeking the bounty of the land as God has richly blessed me to be and do this day.

WOW...... That is a super gun . I've looked for 20 yrs to find one in that shape , cal and oct barrel . The factory ammo leaves a lot power on the table and handloads make it a super cal and very accurate too boot .

WOW...Very Cool!

Very well done. That is a great rifle chambered for a classic cartridge

My congrats...fine rifle too. Had a girlfriend once that had that particular rifle and chambering...had been her grandpa's rifle...shot deer with it every year.

Well said! It's nice to see someone honor family tradition and add another page to history.

I love my Winchester lever actions, especially my 86's. In 2010 my little 33 LW turned 100 years old and to celebrate we dropped this big doe dead in her tracks at 99 steps. How could you ask for anything more.

I have the same Mod92/32-20. I always wondered what it would be like on the whitetail does around here.

I looked for 10 years for a nice 92 in 32-20 under $2000 . I gave up and got this marlin , add almost $300 in parts to get it to a super gun .
