A hunting buddy insisted he was going to pop a deer with it, but then chickened out at the last second and used Dad's '06. The deer went down in the tall grass, coming back up after Huntin' Buddy, still with the .30-'06, had walked past it. Dad, who had been left in the stand by our eager friend with the old .32-20, snap-shot the wounded deer in the head from perhaps a dozen yards away. Maybe just a <I>coup de gras</I>, but Dad was the one who drew blood with that neat old antique. Which is kind of kewl.<br /><br />And now I want one, too. For what? Hell, don't bother me with the details. . .Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-3947378620154883862009-05-05T06:51:00.000-04:002009-05-05T06:51:00.000-04:00Nice cartridge the 32-20 nice to shoot and nice to...Nice cartridge the 32-20 nice to shoot and nice to reload boy oh boy do the Rifles fetch a good price now just been looking on collectorsfirearms.com and they got quite a few for sale from the old to the recent Win 92 ones nice guns.ajdshootisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840409483182827616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-38865230974219188802009-05-05T06:37:00.000-04:002009-05-05T06:37:00.000-04:00When I was in college(late 1960s - yea, I'm a geez...When I was in college(late 1960s - yea, I'm a geezer) my wife and I were at an auction and one of the items on the block was a 92 Winchester with an octogonal barrel in 32 WCF. It wasn't pristine but very nice on the outside. The bore looked a little rough but shootable. Not having much spare cash in those years and with perhaps a bit of concern about self control, I decided my strategy would be to bid quickly and firmly right up to $200 hoping this would convince other bidders how determined I was to own that rifle. $200 was the absolute limit I thought our budget could withstand. Well, my plan didn't scare off anyone and when I reached my limit the price kept on climbing. The rifle finally sold at $235 and I turned dejectedly to my wife who had been watching from the back to see she had a big smile on her face. Knowing how much I wanted that 32-20, she had kept on bidding and bought it!<br />I now have lots of guns in my collection, but none of them mean more to me than that old Winchester. And I've still got that wife too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711647025195530953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-31388001506961298132009-05-05T01:19:00.000-04:002009-05-05T01:19:00.000-04:00So, who're you planning to cut half in two with th...So, who're you planning to cut half in two with those things? ;-)Cybrluditehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222195374935367060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-61665962548227016332009-05-05T01:02:00.000-04:002009-05-05T01:02:00.000-04:00My uncle had a Model 92 in 32-20 as well as a Smit...My uncle had a Model 92 in 32-20 as well as a Smith in the same.

The gun had belonged to my grandfather. His brother, my great Uncle Walt, told me that he shot his first coyote with it when he was 10 years old.Joe Huffmanhttp://blog.joehuffman.org/noreply@blogger.com
