    Front sight replacement, 94 Winchester

    For the questions I have answers for, it's 5"above poa at 100 yds. As for the taller bead, I considered it, or a fiber optic. I shoot the partridge front sights better in every instance and don't struggle to see them, heck I have an easier time with the front sight on an SKS. I'll have to break...

    Front sight replacement, 94 Winchester

    I'm going to be replacing the front sight on my 1961 model 94 Winchester. It has a bead sight under a removable hood and a Lyman peep for the rear. I want to replace the front sight with a partridge style, I've seen the Skinner sights, any other recommendations? As it is now the rear sight is...

    Iron Sights vs Scope

    Depends I guess. My 94 win has a peep on it and and I shoot it very well. I'll eventually change the bead on the front to a partridge but I'm in no hurry. The irons on my Mauser were utterly useless to me, I was better off waking halfway and throwing the bullet like a baseball. That wears a...

    Deer Hunting, Heavy and slow or light and fast bullets?

    Being from Jersey, slow and heavy is your only choice. Not that it matters much the woods and swamps are very dense, to the point that 75 yards is typically a very long shot. So my sabot firing muzzle loader, and Hornady SST firing slug gun have more legs than needed. That being said I'd love...

    Guns For Fun at Range

    My mkII. Ruger is my ultimate range companion on the handgun side. My 94 win on the rifle side. Just fun. It never gets shot a lot, but always gets shot

    Tell Me About Using Fractions of a Grain In Load Development

    I should have mentioned, what I use that formula for is my 308 Spanish Mauser, I run exclusively mil brass through it. Was told by my local mentor to back off 4% off 308 data for mil brass, and 10 off that for starting load. It runs about a bit less than 100 fps off published 308 numbers over...

    Tell Me About Using Fractions of a Grain In Load Development

    By no means an expert, but my process is simple for rifles, mine being mostly military. Take 4% off the max , then take 10% off that then go up .5 grains Per off the min. If I hit a sweet spot I load a bunch.. 40 there if it's good I may be may not play .2 on either side. If it's good. Blast...

    Old powders I wish I could try

    Norma 201 is my absolute favorite powder for my 30/30. I hit well under 1.5" on irons at 100yds with that powder. And it shoots super clean. Powder puff load that chronoed at 2350fps over the chrono. Consistent as anything

    Looking for fall Turks again.

    I'm fortunate in the proximity to state land myself, ten minutes, I turn onto a dirt road and I'm in. Choice of swamp, scrub pines, or hardwood dependant on which way I hike. As far as the shoulder, right shoulder, right handed. Left shoulder no good, so I'm offline until I'm fixed up. Good...

    Looking for fall Turks again.

    Man, That's living! I'll have to live vicariously through the site this hunting season,shoulder surgery in my near future. And what you got going on there is about a ten in my book. Though I'd probably skip the cigar.
