That is a beautiful well cared for Winchester. My first hunting rifle was Winchester 94 my grandmother used, and I still prefer it over my newer rifles when i go hunting.

I borrowed a lever action 30/30 when I moved up to Taloyoak, Nunavut, Canadian Arctic ( Look it up!) - it was hunting heaven. This was before I could get my Canadian Firearms licence ( I am an Aussie). So I went out hunting with local Inuit ( Eskimo) - for Caribou. The 30/30 is a crap round beyond 200 yards - slow, under-powered and lazy, but under 200 yards - it has a big punch. I nailed a few with it. I also moved to another place - Cape Dorset on Baffin Island, and borrowed a 45/70 lever action for Polar Bear defense. That is a howitzer!...LOL. Only ever fired a few rounds for fun!. In the many years I lived up in the High Arctic - I harvested more Caribou, Fox, Seals, Geese, Whales etc with a Lee Enfield No 4 MK 3 ( I think) - it was such an excellent rifle. It was a 1952 model, and had never seen "service". - worked perfectly in Winter at -50c. The 10 round magazine was excellent. The 303 round was hard hitting and thwacked Caribou out to 600 yards. And the Winchester soft nosed rounds were cheap to buy. I used open sights. ( I did spend a bunch of time in the Aussie Army, but also started shooting from 12 y.o out on farms, so was a pretty good shot). Man, I missed a lot, but also nailed a lot. I wish I had got the scope mount and base etc, to put a scope on it. Then a few years on I saved up for a few months, and purchased an HS-Precision HTR in 308. Badger Ordnance rings and base, harris bipod, Leupold MK 4 Tactical Mildot scope. That was a heavy AF rifle - but holy mackerel - it shot 3/4 MOA with good quality ammo..... But the Enfield was superb, and the 30/30 did it's job too...... I'm back in the burbs of Sydney, Australia - but sooooo miss those years up there - the hunting was just unreal. After work I would get on my Skidoo ( snowmobile), rifle on back, and head out maybe 45-60 mins from the village, and find herds of Caribou. It was total freedom, hardly anyone - no regulations, no bureaucracy etc - just pure "LIVING". Those High Canadian Inuit communities are the absolute heaven places on Earth for people that love fishing/hunting/camping/exploring/freedom etc - pure heaven!!!! I'd go back up there tomorrow, but the boss won't let me....

My grandfather bought one of these back in 1971 as a home defense gun. Very few rounds ran through it and it’s an absolute peach. It’s my go to for walking the woods at my farm

Love the 30-30! Iron sights, off-hand…..moving…. classic!! 👍👍👍👊😎

Probably my favourite of all your rifles. One of the historical greats in industrial design: 128 years on and it's still a practical choice, not just a historical fancy. But aside from that it's also aesthetically nice; to look at, to hold, and to operate. I especially like how tactile, and obvious the movement is; you can see and feel what each step of the action does as you do it. It's not a marksman's rifle (though as you demonstrate, a marksman can do a lot with it), and it wastes nothing pretending to be one. Instead the design serves what it is: versatile, mobile, and fast - almost like something between a handgun and a long rifle. I wouldn't be surprised if the model 94 is still being produced and used in another 128 years.

After years of watching your videos, I went and got my longarm licence, joined the SSAA and went on my first deer hunt last week. Got snowed in up in the high country, froze my arse off and did not get a whiff of a deer. It was great fun and I can't wait to go again. I would love to hunt pigs. Thanks for your inspiration, although I doubt I will ever be able to shoot as well as you.

That first sequence when you're hiding behind the tree root and that fly lands right on your rifle sights, making you try to flick it off with one muddy finger, it grudgingly obliges. Great rifle, great hunting, great video. Just awesome mate.

I’ve got my dads old model 94, still looks and shoots amazing. Love those irons

Wonderful rifle. Love to see one so nicely worn and used to its full potential. One of the best rifles you can get, and an absolute classic. Great vid.

I had that exact Rifle, it was given to me by a late uncle 40 years ago, he used it for deer hunting here in Northern Michigan, later on I traded it in on a couple shotguns because here in southern Michigan at that time we couldn’t use that rifle for deer hunting we could only use muzzleloading rifles and shotguns with slugs. But overall it was a beautiful gun and 100 yard shots were a piece of cake with that gun even with open sites.

I love your memorable moments stuff Stu. It never fails to get the adrenaline pumping in preparation for my next hunt. Tried a few calibres over the years for the "stand and deliver" shots required in the thick stuff but when all's said and done, I will grab the 30/30.

Man I want a 3030 lever action so bad, got a 45 long colt but the old 3030s are just one of the most solid built guns of all time. Seriously expensive here in the US at the moment. Nice rifle!!!

Gotta love the cartridge ejection on the 30 30. By far my favorite medium game weapon of choice. Also the gun I learned how to shoot and got my 1st white tail 🦌 Love the vlogs stu, keep em commin mate!

Kool huntin' 👍🏻 I'm gettin' a Winchester soon, but in .357. 🐴❤️🤠🇨🇱🎯👍🏻

I’ve got a very old octagonal 44/40 and it’s a beauty. Gotta love the lever action Winchesters.

I love the vids that have you cruising down a billabong. Just gives a feeling peacefulness and taking it easy to the whole thing

I heard that kangaroos are proof that GOD has a sense of humour.

That hit the spot pretty good, Stu. Thanks for posting another, especially the floatie trips. Gave me a pretty pick me up.

👍👍 you and your group are some mighty fortunate blokes to have access to places like this!!!! Thousands of memories made here. Sweet sweet sweet!!!

Nice reaction time in the grass, oh great hog slayer! Not a better brush gun out there than that 30-30. Great video, stay safe!

You definitely made good use of that 94 Winchester in 30-30, that was some really good shooting, I enjoyed the whole hunt, thank you for sharing

There is no way I would ever go in water like that in Australia. I know you have said you dont have crocs in that area but.....I would never.

100 years on and the model 94 is still getting it done.

Beautiful sound from that rifle. 👊🔥🇮🇪💚☘️

There's always such hesitation when shooting a lever action that's what makes it so precise when your hunting with one

Excellent video! Beautiful gun, that Winchester. The 30-30 is a Thumper!

Perfect for-the-purpose lever action pipe you are sporting! Regards from South Africa.

This was a good one for sure. You started out like Rambo going in the water, then you nailed a beast, then you even scared me for a second when that one in the grass just suddenly appeared, hunting on quads….dude, this had it all and a beautiful Winchester on top of it all.

This man has good taste in weapons.

A timeless, quick handling shooty stick. Always good to see a 94 in the wild lol

Nice. Got my win 3030 model 94 in 1979. Still take it out for deer sometimes but mostly use a 270. Nice target rich environment you’re hunting.

Great vid mate 10/10 3030 best rifle out cheers for the great vids👍

Great videos mate been a long time love the content

Probably the best lever rifle ever made. 👍👍 glad you made this video

I inherited my dads when he passed away. And I love it!!! I use it on moose and deer in 🇨🇦

Big Stu at it again !

Great video Stu 👍🏻 Good shootin mate !

The 30-30 is a brutal brush gun, perfect for this type of use.

Nothing like getting up on a Sunday morning and seeing a notification from Stu,it's a good way to start a day✌️ Napa California

Essa caçada e muito emocionante top👍🏻

Hi Stu I just got my first leaver action 3030 passed onto me from an old fellow who fired it 3 times he's to old now a has health issues to use it anymore it's a model 94 American made RANGER will it be a good rifle for what u do or were they just mass production gun I havnt used it yet waiting for my permit to aquire to come through can u or someone tell me a bit about them thanks 👍

You sure don’t miss very often. Had a lot of fun watching this. Carry on.

That's the best 3 little piggy story I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣 nice Winchester ! I guess there's no Crock in the creek ? Cheers to all our great friends in the southern hemisphere from the USA 😁 Good hunting tactics my friend 😊

Awesome Video

Good morning Stu

Great shooting with that 94 with open sights. Congratulations, successful hunting.

The venerable Model 94. The side mount scope is a plus because you can still use the iron sights for up close situations 😃

Hi Stu ☺ thanks for another great video mate, the old 30.30 can still do its thing in the right hands, a good pig gun for sure, weather didn't look too bad mate, and a nice handful of porkers taken, I liked the bit at the end , liquid refreshment beside your favourite rifle, a good end to a hunt, cheers mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.

Caçada top muito boa eu quero comprar um rifle 357 é demais like

I've got one of those. Beautiful scrub gun. Unbeatable. 👍🤠

That hog close up in the agriculture! Got my heart racing! nice job

Great footage. Super way to hunt! Liked and sub’d. I’m from the U.K. so forgive my ignorance but a question… how safe is it in the water… from crocs or snakes…

Muito bomlike esse rifle é top

I've had a Marin 30/30 for as long as I can remember. By far one of my favorites, I call it The Dirty 30. You really can't go wrong with it.

This is Awesome Stu. love that muddy ol 94 of yours!

Nice bud

Something I'd love to do, definitely on the bucket list. Great footage 👍

you guy's live a great life. Thanks for sharing.

Now thats some cool huntin, especially with a great ol 94 Winchester!! Lever guns rule !!

Great to see a video Stu. I love these hunting adventures. Ambushing those pigs from the water is awesome. I was surprised you didn’t have your 30-06 on this one. Pork on the spit tonight.

Good vid mate love the fact you still use open sites and the 30/30 it’s a fantastic gun and a lever action it doesn’t get much better than that keep up the great content cheers Yogi 🇦🇺🤙🤙

That’s some good shooting , impressive and looks like fun . Thanks for sharing

I have one of those my granddaddy left me when he passed! Haven't shot it in 15 yrs or more but its a nice piece!

Love my marlin 30/30 and 450 grizzly great show cheerz

Great stuff Stu and gang. Thank you. Andy

Looks very much like my old Winchester 30-30 I used for deer hunting as a youth.

And I would say it's the weapon of choice for hunting especially this model

Good hunting and shooting Stu, that was a beautiful hay meadow towards the end of the video. The land owner probably spent a lot of money fertilizing it, probably thankful for you helping to keep the hogs from rooting it up.

Tolles Video mit tollen Erfolgserergebnissen bei der Jagd. Gruss Jürgen🤠👍👍

LEARN EM GOOD. Hell yeah brother. Keep it up.

Hi Stu, nice boar at 13:04 with good tusks, well done ! Cheers from the German Hunter

Looks like a blast, hope to one day get me a 94. Have fun be safe.

Good to see your still knocking them down 👍✔️. In a few months going up the top end and use my trusty m77 cheers.

Good shot one down an More to go Good luck my Brother. God bless you.

Awesome video. Alot of action. Lots of pest pesky hogs got dealt with. Now I miss my 30-30

Lmaooo. I thought you were on a kayak. But you are in the water. Classic!!!😁😆😅🤣🤣. Simply luv it. That gun should be displayed in a museum. Luv that gun also.

This has been one of my dream guns ever since I was little

My pig whacker of choice was my Marlin 336a with a 1.5 to 4 times scope, great pig rifle..

Love the open sights shots. Proper shooting

Very nice rifle...good job...💪👍👍👍

Was surprised at 2:56 Thought you were in a boat. Keep it up. You are great!

The furty-furty in this video has definitely seen some years of use! Great video!

Great videos mate been following you for a long time 👍

I use ballistol for my rifle furnicha and soak patches with alcohol then run dry patches then 3 in one oil . I use a thin fiberglass Arrow shaft from the muzzle or a wooden dowel . sometimes I use car wax for the entire barrel and outter action. Got 2 levers one in .38 special and the 30-30 .

What a workhorse of a rifle!

Now THAT! Is American! God bless you down under. "Maken baken,." The 30-30 lives on.

good onya stew that old thunder stick smokes bacon like a charm👍🇦🇺thanks for sharing.

I also have a 30-30 Winchester 94. That's just one of many guns.

Very exciting to watch. I am jealous

Stu, I really like your video. You’re hard core! :)

"How fresh is that?" Funny you should ask Sir, it appears to be pretty fkn fresh indeed. lol love it.

Great video keep them coming. Love pig hunting videos

Nothing like shooting out of a boat and getting a little mud on ya gun... this brings me back to many great childhood memories. The complete silence before the first squeeze of the trigger then followed by a couple of hundred Cockatoo's going mad for the next 5 minutes!!

That some good shooting old lefty.🙌 My Grand father became south paw after getting Polio as a young man in WW2 the found the cure for it just as it was starting to move into his chest! So as a Result he owned many Lever action‘s because they are much easier to operate left-handed than other rifles in his day! I have my Great Grandfathers Winchester model 1895 in 30/40 Krag it was my grandfather my uncles and now it is mine and maybe one day my daughters! But I can tell you it will never leave our family and it still shoots Dead as. The 1895 was the first Winchester lever action to shoot pointed bullets and smokeless gun pouter! It was all so the last leave action A John Browning patented after his passing! You really can’t go wrong with any Winchester lever her actions they all have stood the test of time a continue to do so! I would like to by another 1895 but chambered in Winchester 405 that was the same model that Teddy Roosevelt took on all of his safaris he called it his big medicine! Cheers 🍻 brother great video and grate pig killing! Got a love it!✌🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻

GREAT HUNTING STU !! YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT HUNTER AND SHOOTER WITH THAT 3030 ,I HAVE A WINCHESTER AND A MARLIN, 3030, AND LOVE THE BOTH OF THEM.
