If so, what are your impressions?

Pack Rifle?

R. Tillery:  when you say 'Pack Rifle', what barrel length are you talking about?  I have an older Saddle Ring Carbine with a 20" barrel (I believe) - is this what you are referencing??  If so, I love it - easy to carry and shoulder, accurate to beyound a good sight picture, stuff 6 in the tube and one in the chamber and you can go all week.  Mikey.

Apparently, Winchester's 'Pack Rifle' was a limited run item. It had a 16-inch barrel and half-tube. SGN still has them.

I have a pack rifle in 30/30. I really like the style. However mine snaps sometimes. I sent it back and they said they "polished the firing pin. However it still snaps sometimes(light primer hit). I may try a new firing pin to see if that fixes the problem. If not I'll just sell it and by a marlin.
PS My old pre-64 94 in 30/30 eats everything I put in it. :shock:  :shock:  :roll:
