[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 831980, member: 684"] I had never thought about that, but it sounds like a good idea. :thumb: Actually, the big loop was the selling point for me. I'd seen a dozen Winchesters come and go. Some as much as $500 and some as low as a C-note. I've always regarded them as one of the "important" weapons that every gun owner needs. The only other rifle out there I would care to own would be a Springfield M1A. I just didn't care for the tacticool AR style. I mean, I always wanted one because they looked cool and nasty, but when I got mine and learned a little more about it, I just lost the love for it. :grumble: Anyway, I hope this Winchester proves itself for me. The good news is that if it doesn't, there's a guy at my local gunshop who told me this morning (yeah, I'm already showing it off ;)) that he would trade it for [I]anything[/I] in his case. I looked and spotted a 4 inch model 66 no dash (which IMO was the best gun he had in the shop full of polymer kings and queens) and said "what about that model 66?" He said, "you want it? It's yours! Hell, I'll even throw in a box of ammo!" But...I declined. I think this rifle is a keeper! :D I like rifles like this because you don't hafta spend alot of money on silly bolt on whiz-bang "tacticool" accessories. With that being said, I've got one of these on order for this carbine. :respect: It's made by Galco Gunleather - my [I]very favorite [/I]holster/gunleather maker. :bowdown: [b][Broken External Image][/b] Other than this butt cuff and lots of ammo, I don't see me spending another dime on this rifle. I ain't gonna scope it and I doubt that I'll even sling it. Also...kind of a dumb question, but what is the purpose of the saddle ring? :anyone: Was it a "poor man's" saddle scabbard? Would a cowboy just run a strip of leather thru it, tie it's ends in a knot and just loop/hang it on his saddle horn if he didn't hava a scabbard for it or something? Please school me. :D [/QUOTE]
