Sometimes the story behind the gun is as cool as the gun itself....like with this rifle.

A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

And shepherds we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Is a pre-1960 model? If so, worth much more, absent the family connection, which makes it priceless.

I know what you mean. I have a post-1960 Model 94 in 3030 and it is a blast to shoot. In a wooded setting, with shots in from 75 yards, it's my go to gun. Iron sights only.

Every time I'm at H&H, I eye the "real" Model 94's with an envious eye.

Uncle said he got that elk at just around 400 yards. He's the one to the right in the 2nd pic. Grew up in an orphanage during the depression

Yup, great rifle and even greater memories behind it.

I don't need to tell you but take good care of it 😉, and do shoot it.
