I've always admired the looks of level-action rifles, but most of the

all that well-made. The Cimarron imports are very nice. The one I



ordered has a 24" barrel. Now I need a six-shooter in 45LC.



When they were issued back in the '70s, I wished I could afford the RCMP 100th anniversary Winchester.

I understand there were two versions...

the one offered to serving and retired members of the RCMP which used serial numbers MPxxxxxx

and the one offered to the general public with serial numbers RCMPxxxxxx

Seems to me they were about 4100.00 more than the garden variety Winchester.

D'oh!
Make that $ 100.00 more.

I've got a Winchester Model 94 30-30 that I want to mount in the trailer, which has a 'south
western' motif. But my wife doesn't think it's a cool idea. Still working on her.
It's not as pretty as the RCMP version, but it's a good looking rifle.
