I was carrying this browning lever action to slay squirrels.It also shots the CCI shorts pretty dang good .Killed truck loads with it over the last 44 years .All my guns are used for hunting purposes.I bought it new in 198O when I was 16 with $ from cleaning out hog houses and hauling hay all summer long . Took it out of the coast to coast hardware store to the woods same day I bought it .back then fur was selling high .that fall I knocked out enough coon with it treed by a English coon hound and border collie dog to buy my first car .kids these days have it way to easy .not many raised that are taught you have to work for things you want .they think the world owes them a living and everything gave to them for doing nothing productive ..IMG_4265.png

I managed to find this this old Winchester up the street from me. Was talking guns with a neighbor and happened to mention that slide action 22's were a favorite. He said he may have something I'd be interested in that he would part with. A couple of weeks go by......anyway its this 62A in nearly mint condition with the Lyman tang sight. We quickly arrived at a fair price. I recently took to the range to see how it would do and it will do nicely. Was sometimes hitting a 2 inch swinger at about 15 yds.

Love the old Winchesters! 40-82 converted to 45-70, that's pretty cool. We've got an old '92 in 32-20 that is a sweet shooter. I imagine those bigger guns are pretty heavy and are not easy on old shoulders.
Glad you could turn it into a shooter!
