The incomparable Miss Kirsten who should be picked up by major media outlets for "weapontainment" the whole family can enjoy. No, really, this is great stuff, just wish someone like Blaze TV would run a series like this of yours regularly. They're up the road in Dallas.
@@KirstenJoyWeiss John Browning didn't make any of his rifles. He designed them. All Winchester rifles were factory made at the Winchester plant in Connecticut by skilled craftsmen by the tens of thousands. That rifle looks like it was refinished too.

Love to see how you handle historic big guns with the same grace & ease as your hightech olympic Anschütz. Also an awesome little surprise with that flying ball! Grand finale: Big Bang Zeppelin... Whow! Beautiful, funny, just awesome!
I love shooting my lever actions more than any other rifle. I worked all summer in 1974 to buy the first gun I ever bought with my own money. A Winchester 94. Still looks and shoots great. Best 74 bucks I ever spent. I love my Henry lever guns in .357 and .45-70 as well. They cost a little more. Wonderful video!
Even just watching great shooters shoot can be a learning experience. I like the slow-mo at 7:09, holding perfect form for so long after the shot is away, even under recoil. I'm inspired to work on my on follow through now.
Momma Chey here: I’m an old shot in my 60’s and tonly guys we’re shooting at the range back then. They sold me all their guns when they upgraded that’s what I was to them them. A buyer lol. They started worrying when I got good. I started with a Browning 22 pistol. Tiny thing. The technology is now incredible I wish I were 20 again. Love your channel.
Kirsten thanks for another great video, also thanks for Keeping Gunny with us. He was a great person. You also need to be thanked for all you do for the world of shooting/guns. With all the political jargon out the for lack of a better word, That there is safety and proper gun handling by well-trained people. LIKE YOU. Keep up the great work. I Support you and your channel all the way
My daughter said she likes your Elsa braid. From the movie frozen. She loves to watch RUclips with me, and thinks you're a princess. Partly because that's what I tell her you are lol. Now she says I want to be like her. A princess with many guns. She is only 3 1/2 years old. She already knows not to play in dads gun room.
Thanks to ALL of you who have stepped in to try & fill the Gunny's shoes. R. Lee Ermy will ALWAYS be missed & the world is a lesser place without him in it. Here's to you Gunny... Ooh Rah Brother, Semper Fi.
Kirsten you working your way up to that Quigley 1874 Sharps long range shoot. 😁👍👍👍👍👍 Keep up the great work kiddo ! 😁 Hey Kiddo would love one of those 45-70 cases with your Audigragh on it.🙂
Kirsten you look great shooting that classic. Great to see an actor that has some sense. Thanks for bringing Clifton on to share his appreciation for shooting.
Great video...my daughter was in the marine corps, and also an expert shot...thanks to all the men and women serving in our armed forces and defending this bad ass country......
What a rifle for over 130 years of age! John M. Browning was surely decades ahead of his time. . . Gunny would have really enjoyed that shoot around too. Fab video Kirsten.
I really enjoyed this episode. My Winchester 30-30 is always my weapon of choice when I head out the door for some quality time in the woods. Light, accurate, durable and powerful. Well done 👍
Buffalo hunting was pretty much over by the time the 1886 was introduced. By the mid 1880s only scattered herds were left. The 1886 was popular for elk, bears, moose. It was designed to replace the Winchester Model 1876 with a "modern rifle" capable of handling longer and more powerful cartridges. The design was "modern" enough to survive the change to smokeless powder and though discontinued in 1935, it was later reintroduced and is still in production today. Even in 1935, it was replaced by the Model 71, a version of the 1886. It has been a popular rifle for American hunters.
Many of us appreciate KJW's contribution to the shooting scene. But how many of us support her? Give up a candy bar a month and support her on her patreon page. She's worth it. She's a needed dimension to our sport.

Kirsten, Always enjoy seeing your videos! You are so knowledgeable in the arms you are presenting, shoot with precision and have a JOYful time doing it. Are you at the Big Sandy?
Hi Kirsten from over the pond . I like that you are doing this video for the Gunni , my cousin's were in the Marine's in the sixties and Eighties so watching the Gunni brings back times I spent with them as a kid they were just like him (Loud and Fun ) . They loved their guns just as much as The Gunni and passed that love on to me ,even though I live over in the UK I still do shooting but only air rifles and targets , no trick shots though . Keep up the Brilliant Video's .
I had a Marlin 45-70 basically the same gun, same ... no recoil pad and it kicked like a mule... I put 20 rounds of hot handloads thru it one day and my shoulder was bruised for a week.... the stump I was using as a target was pretty much kindling.... was fun though....
The Secret is REVEALED ! for years men thought you had to hold your mouth just right it make the perfect shot , but watch Kristens hand , it's really the Pinky finger that you have to hold just right . She does it every time . L.O.L ! great video !
Your great videos reinforce my belief that there is no wrong way to hold a rifle with your support hand. Do whatever is most comfortable and works! The traditional hold, the clamp hold, VFG, AFG, cradling to the body, gripping the magwell, holding it out far, holding it near and then Kirsten's finger spread technique. Obviously some are not going to work shooting fast SA or FA, but for a bolt, single shot or lever gun is pretty much make yourself comfortable with it while handling the recoil.
I myself have a 1894 lever action and it is my favorite rifle out of all the guns I have. I will not sell it and I will take it with me when I pass away so I can have it in the spirit world. I Love your videos and what you do.
Very nice shooting session, cool slow motions, and the zeppelin... wow ! I have a Yellow Boy 1886 (Uberti...) and I love lever action ! You feel Clint Eastwood breathing in your neck !
I was noticing your hold on that big bore was the same as your target 22. My first thought was hang on! But darn if you didn't make it graceful, natural, and effective.
@@KirstenJoyWeiss sounds like we need another video. I've always been curious of your technique. I'm sure if I try it without instruction, it would be embarrassing.
another great vid, the rifle shoots great, its in good hands, :) I love the patina, antique in great working order, being used for what its made to do, truly awesome,
@@KirstenJoyWeiss true that, its truly a very nice unit, ive heard he liked to tinker on individual units passing trough, giving them the personal touch, and the good thing it adds o the provenance, of each surviving example, your a very lucky lady, the helium in your zep was a nice touch :))
I miss ol gunny. Thank you Kirsten for keeping his memory alive
Kirsten is the perfect one to honor Gunny. She doesn't try to replace, she honors him.
Kelley Sauer amen to that
You could find a random Marine to quote Full Metal Jacket lines at full war emergency power at you.
I miss you Sheriff Hoyt (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2003/2006)
Gunny is a legend, ngl
I never get tired of hearing the action of an old lever gun or watching a KJW video...👏
Question: Is there anything more beautiful than Kirsten shooting?
Answer: I think not.
Nothing will ever be better
yeah......me shooting with Kirsten
That is the correct answer. A few people voted for a beautiful Hawaiian sunset but they were clearly wrong.
And she was shooting a beautiful rifle
Me shootin on Kirsten
The sound of the lever action and the casing ejecting is so satisfying.
That is one massive weapon!
This is my first time shooting this historic 1886 lever action, pretty sweet! Who else knew they were used against German Zeppelins?!

Didn't know they used them against Zeppelins, interesting. Miss the Gunny, I got to meet him once at an NRA Convention here in Az.
@@podsmpsg1 Ditto!
I love you Kirsten!
..most excellent, entertaining and educational presentation. Bet you're a pretty good gunsmith..
This is for you Gunny. I know your looming down on this video with a smile on you're face.
Kristen here can hit a falling clay with 45-70, totally stunned.
Jack Freeman - yes indeed and I’d have trouble with a shotgun. (It’s Kirsten BTW)
Amazing shot
@@kendrickdonnelly she didn't make that shot. Notice the slick editing.

Guns, family viewing?? You are out of your mind
Thank you for this presentation. I also want to thank whoever it was that took this fine piece of hardware out of the safe and let y'all fire it.
Omg every time you upload a new video, I get so freaking excited and I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for what you do!
I miss Gunny.
A one of a kind man.
Great seeing you back exercising that Second Amendment RIGHT. Have a beautiful and blessed weekend. GOD Bless and Be Blessed!!!
Amen!
Thanks for an absolutely stunning video and for helping keep the Gunny alive in our hearts and minds.
Did you say John Browning actually handled that very rifle? I feel privileged to get the opportunity to see it. Thanks.
Yes! Actually *made* it by hand. Isnt that incredible??
Your welcome from John family.
@@KirstenJoyWeiss John Browning didn't make any of his rifles. He designed them. All Winchester rifles were factory made at the Winchester plant in Connecticut by skilled craftsmen by the tens of thousands. That rifle looks like it was refinished too.
Wonderful shooting Kirsten! love the slow mo shots. and wonderful clay shot!
You definitely know how to handle the push from a big bore! John Browning was the greatest mind in firearms history
I loved him in Boondock Saints 2!!!
I love that "Ting!" sound of that cigar-size cartridge hitting the slide after ejection...
Keep the content coming! We learn a lot from you. You make the shots look soooo easy when it really takes skill!
I always like to see Kirsten shoot, and the videography on Gunny Time videos is always great.

Absolutely beautiful rifle, and to think it was handled by Browning....what a piece of living history.
Thank you for bringing it to life again.
It was never handled by Browning and Browning didn't produce any of these rifles, he designed them.
I was just thinking yesterday that we had not seen a video from you in a while! Great video and that is an awesome gun to see!
Watermelon buffaloes! Hah great gag!
Nice shooting with the white poppers! The incendiary zeppelin was awesome. I have to make one of those.
I loved Westworld and can't wait for the next season. Beautiful gun, thanx for showing it to us!

As a kid the winchesters henry,s and colt saa revolvers totally got me hooked .. the beauty of these simple wood and steel basic firearms .. fantastic
Kirsten you working your way up to that Quigley 1874 Sharps long range shoot. 😁👍👍👍👍👍 Keep up the great work kiddo ! 😁 Hey Kiddo would love one of those 45-70 cases with your Audigragh on it.🙂
will f a Sharps rifle would be amazing to see. Love'em! :))
@@trashmail8 What would be more amazing is Kirsten replicating the Quigley bucket shot with one.😁
Thank you Mr. Collins and Kirsten - fun watch.
I suffered through whichever commercial youtube wanted to throw at me just to help the channel of this sweet lady.
Gun grabbers: "Why would you ever need a Winchester 1886 .45-70?"
Me: "Hunting big game and *cough* zeppelins *cough* ."
Great shooting by both of you, and glad to see Gunny Time. I miss seeing new videos from him. Keep up the good work
That was FANTASTIC!!
Great job you two!
That was so fun to watch!
Thank you Kirsten!
Iconic gun,iconic character actor, shooting stuff...sounds like Gunny's spirit is still alive!
Great shooting Kirsten and a great video. I love that you're remembering the Gunny and keeping his legacy alive and well.
Love old lever actions. Nothing else like them.
Gunny was great glad you keeping his spirit alive. Great show.
Great Video Kirsten! Thank you!
Man that looks like such a great gun to shoot! And a piece of history to boot. Thanks for sharing.
So happy to see you back on You Tube. Wonderful idea to dedicate show to Gunny.
Why has it been so long Kirsten? We all love you and miss your show.
Kirsten you look great shooting that classic. Great to see an actor that has some sense. Thanks for bringing Clifton on to share his appreciation for shooting.
Is that Winchester yours? That's beautiful!! Super nice to see you having fun..... I love lever action rifles!!
Awesome video! Production quality is off the charts!! Breathtaking rifle
I wouldn't go that far. The green screen shots with him were just awful.
@@JCrook1028 yeah well, I liked it
Great video...my daughter was in the marine corps, and also an expert shot...thanks to all the men and women serving in our armed forces and defending this bad ass country......
What a rifle for over 130 years of age! John M. Browning was surely decades ahead of his time. . . Gunny would have really enjoyed that shoot around too. Fab video Kirsten.
Clifton without a script is about as exciting as watching water boil.
I think he was mesmerized by Kirsten.
@@johnshoureas1629 let's hope.
Something was definitely off about him.
@@johnshoureas1629 Standard.
I miss gunny also thank you for keeping his memory alive. Love what you do keep it up.
That woman is simply amazing. ♥️
I love the way you hold a rifle. I saw the 22lr video and thought ok makes sense but a lever action too?! Awesome!!!. My 44 mag is my favorite!
Love your videos. And I miss the gunny thanks for keeping his memory alive
I really enjoyed this episode. My Winchester 30-30 is always my weapon of choice when I head out the door for some quality time in the woods. Light, accurate, durable and powerful. Well done 👍

That stance is simply amazing to watch Kirsten. If I tried to shoot like that I wouldn’t be able to hit the side of a barn.
I have been really depressed lately due to medical issues now im happy watching this video thanks. D
Finally, something that's legal here in the UK that I don't have to feel jealous about!

It's good to see this show continuing. :)
Nice bit of the Old West. The 45-70 Govt fired without a recoil pad on the stock must produce one heck of a thump on the shoulder.
More of a 'push ' . . . .
I had a Marlin 45-70 basically the same gun, same ... no recoil pad and it kicked like a mule... I put 20 rounds of hot handloads thru it one day and my shoulder was bruised for a week.... the stump I was using as a target was pretty much kindling.... was fun though....
The standard load is actually pretty tame.
Good job you two, Gunny would be proud!
I love lever action! I have a Marlin 30-30, cannot miss with it.
LOVE the Winchester!!!!!!! You make it look so easy!!!!!!
Love Westworld, Love IT!
Wow, he hit a target 25 meters out, bench rested his arm to boot. Impressive!!
Looked more like 25 FEET ! Wow, amazing! 😊

That is a stunning rifle!
I'm no gun expert, but that's the prettiest gun I've ever seen. The patina patterns looks amazing.
What a piece of history. Can't believe it's in that shape.
Excellent video.! 45-70 is my cartridge of choice 150 yards and under. Kirsten you ROCK!😁😁😁
glad to see this keep this up please
I need to give a lever action rifle a try, that's one I haven't as of yet. And seeing these videos just drives that home, looks like a lot of fun
Who would dare to 👎 this, or any KJW, video? Gunny would not approve of such a move.
Really enjoyed this one!
Very nice shooting session, cool slow motions, and the zeppelin... wow !
I have a Yellow Boy 1886 (Uberti...) and I love lever action ! You feel Clint Eastwood breathing in your neck !
Nice! I always Enjoy Kirsten's Videos!
That has to be the sexiast "BOOM" I,ve ever heard!Great video Kirsten as always!
Watermelon buffalo..😂. Awsome to see Clifton join ya. Long live Gunny!
I was noticing your hold on that big bore was the same as your target 22. My first thought was hang on! But darn if you didn't make it graceful, natural, and effective.
