I know what Jack O'Connor said affected me when I was young. The thing is, it either stuck or I just like it.



All 24 Winchesters swing like 2x4's....do the math a 30" Model 1100 is about like a 38" SxS.

I liked reading Jack O'Connor myself....even though he was enticed by Winchester to promote the .270. (Deep down he was a 30.06 and 7x57 rifleman).
