Title: WINCHESTER model 88 in .284 win.
Post by: BARNAUL on August 13, 2015, 03:55:56 AM

Traded straight across,my 1960  RUGER .44MAG. unaltered  old model SBH  for my old bosses  1970
.284 in a model88 Winchester.    He  purchased it brand new. ran about  50 rounds thru it.... it came with 2  sets of dies.2 1/2 boxes of factory ammo......  the 44 was also brand new.... mabe 150-200 rounds thru it.....have a safe full of handguns but spend most of my time buying and shooting  RUSKIE  SKS refurbs....... Ihe 88 will make a fine open timber round......I just sold the .44s  companion to my grandson.....a 1962  NEW 44mag. carbine....... I needed the money for MORE SKS rifles.....lol

Nice trade!   I like lever guns, especially Winchesters but all I have is a early 90s Marlin 30/30.

Good deal pops!  How has the Russian SKS market been up there lately?  I was up in rural Newfoundland the past couple weeks and there wasn't a single one to be seen!  cry1
