Re: POLL ON 357 MAG

I have been an N Frame guy, then I got a model 19-2 4 " from 1962....then a 19-4 2 1/2. The 4" is so much easier to handle and carry.

Re: The Winchester model 71 a new story.

My 71 Standard is also a 1937....thankfully it has open sights, as a peep is too hard to lock on a Deer anymore.....58 and my eye site gets a little worse every year.....so for hunting unless it's up close I reach for a scoped rifle or shotgun.......kevin All three are Winchesters....... http://i97....
