Winchester 30-30 safety
I have a 1960's vintage and it operates just as you describe.
When I bought this gun (used) it had a 4x scope, but I didn't like shooting this gun with a scope, especially in tight cover or the ranges that I bought this gun for. I bought a Lyman peep scope and it is definitely capable of getting on target up to 100 yards. Also with top ejection, the scope is offset to the left of centerline to the barrel in order to not interfer with the top ejection. When I'm really in "wooded" areas I think that a scope can be a hinderence.
These guns are truely deer takers.
