Salvo,
Great follow up report! Glad it turned out so well.
I sure think that is some fine shooting, both by the 39A and you to get those tight groups with the factory sights.
Well done! The 39A doesn't make me jealous, BUT SHIRT SLEEVES IN JANUARY DOES!

Only basing my view on a couple of each, the Marlin 336 is the smoothest and nicest but you've got to remember it has the advantage of 50 years of refining over the Winchester 1894 action. Even a mechanically challenged gunner like me can take a 336 apart, put in a new extractor, ejector, or firing ...
