[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1723493, member: 91402"] Winchester 94's are great carrying rifles. They balance so well in the hand and with their short pull they come up and point so well. I have had a few but most were the post '64 junkers. I have one '94 left and it's a '08 saddle ring with the gum wood stock and all the original sights. It still puts five shots inside 3 inches at 50 yards and with my old eyes and those rough sights I consider that acceptable. On the other hand my regular bush guns use Lyman or Williams peeps and fibre optic front sights. I used to have just the red fibre optic but they were always a bit blurry for me and then I was told to try the green and it was much better. It seem that people like me, with astigmatism, have trouble focusing red dots. I grew up on the East Coast and 30-30 and 303 were about all anyone used for hunting the local whitetails. The Win '94 30-30 was considered the best of the two because it came up faster and whitetail hunting was usually jump shooting. The war surplus 303's were cheaper though. Good luck on your project. It's a bit retro but maybe we are too. [/QUOTE]
