RE: New Old Gun
Ballistically, the .32 Win Special is almost identical to a 30/30. It was touted (especially back in the 60's) as being a great all purpose deer / black bear gun for the northeast U.S. big forests. It is very handy, quite light and a pleasure to shoot. I have one that was given to me by my father about 20 years ago. Check out Chuck Hawks website. He speaks highly of them.
