Old 30-30 Still Brings Home The Venison

This morning, I came upon an article about a Winchester Model 94 .30-30 that's of the same vintage as mine (1962). 

It was posted at The Cheatham County Exchange. The gist of the article is that the old Winchester is still bringing home the venison. Based on the second sentence below, I'd hazard a guess that my 1962 rifle is in much better shape than the author's. 

It starts off with:

The old deer rifle, like the old deer hunter, is starting to show its age.

The wooden stock is battle-scarred, the varnish long gone, most of the bluing worn off.

But it shoots as straight as the day it came out of the box in 1962 as an early Christmas present: a brand-new Winchester 30-30, the most acclaimed deer rifle in hunting history.

That season I bagged my first buck with it. Last season I collected my latest one with it.
