New (to me) 94 AE - Really Happy!
« on: October 11, 2011, 09:05:27 AM »
Picked up my 94 AE, in 30-30, yesterday and went to the range today.  Went through about a 1/2 a box of Winchester factory 150 grain SPs to get the sights fairly close.  I also put together 16 handloads last night with some once fired FC brass a friend gave me.  180 grain LRNFPGCs over 24 grains of TAC with a CCI LR.  Very happy with first results.   I don't want a scope on this one but would like suggestions on a better rear sight.  I want a barrel mounted sight, not a receiver mount, something that doesn't detract from the looks of the gun.  BTW, although this gun is pushing 30 yo this was the first time it was shot. 
 
thanks

Why be difficult, when with a little extra effort you can be impossible?

Is this one of the early angle ejects without the stupid safety?  If so I'm real envious!
 
Can't see open sights like I used to so I'd probably go with the Skinner barrel mount peep sight - real classy looking sight.

Spruce,
 
No cross-bolt or tang safety on this one.  I'll take a look at the Skinner peep sight.
 
thanks
