One of my uncles passe away over the summer and my dad sent me a few guns that belonged to him. Top gun in the picture is Winchester model 12 12 GA. Middle gun is a Remington 241 Speedmaster 22LR that is a breakdown gun. Bottom gun in the picture is a Remington Woodmaster model 742 30.06 with some sort of cheap scope.

I already own a beretta AL390 12 GA and a Remington 870 wingmaster 12GA, so i'm covered on the 12GA. Is the model 12 worth keeping?

Same with the 742 30.06, I already have a pump 30.06, i think i'll trade this from something else.

I do like the little 22, i think i'll keep it for sure.

any insight or experience with these guns?

All three are classics and you would be a fool to let them go.

If you don't want to keep them you can donate them to me.

The Winchester is a pos. I'll take it off your hands though.

They are not eating any hay just keep them in the safe.

That model 12 is a classic and the 22 is a great gun to teach your kids to shoot with. The 742, just keep it to have all his guns in the same collection to pass on.

You keep all three. Save your money if you want to buy something else.

pump 30.06


that's just weird to me. it may be me being naive but a pump rifle is just strange.

I guess I'll stock up in gun oil and make room in the safe. Thanks for the replies guys.

model 12 is one of the best pumps ever made many many of the 742s had ejector problems etc

Growing up, my best friend's dad had a Model 12 and it was a revered gun. Yeah, all three are "classics" and worthy of being kept.

Hard to classify the 742 as a "classic."

But if it has sentimental value, keep it.
