Hi from Ohio

[shooter92]

OK I'm new to smoke'n hope to learn a few things, my wife and kids bought me a MES 30 for Christmas (think they're trying to tell me something) .Any how I'm from northern Oh and I will be retiring next year , figured this would be a good  hobby to keep me out of trouble. I collect old Winchester rifles, ride a Harley and drink beer guess that 'bout covers it.

Welcome Shooter92 !

Got a couple of great North Ohio guys here!

You're gonna love that MES!

Would my Model "88" be classified as an "old" Winchester?

Welcome to SMF glad you joined us. Congrats on the new smoker. I like to collect a few guns too but I quit riding bikes awhile back.

My "88" is also in .308.

Took a lot of deer with it (all PA).

Bought it at an Army/Navy in 1971 for $137.

It's worth a bit more now--LOL.

Don't know how to tell what year it was made. Serial # H274208.

How about one of the more powerful pellet guns on the market?

Wait a minute--Being from CA, it shouldn't be hard to get a bigger weapon with a silencer in L.A. 

 

[shooter92]
