iron buck Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Re: winchester 88 .308 JUst the fact that it was from my grandfather would make it a sentimemntal favorite if it were me. Actual monatary value aside.............it would be pricless. I'd loved to gotten one of my Grandfathers rifles when he passed. Nothing he owned was as nice as the 88 here. But I loved his old deer rifle. A sporterized 30-40 craig. Peep sight & all! My incle now owns it. Someday it may still be mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rifleman25 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Re: winchester 88 .308 I have an 88 I hunted with atleast once a year. I just bought a new BLR so I believe I will retire that old 88 but it is a great rifle and a fine shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
