great help here!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did not know the Lyman did not have windage adjustment. That eliminates that choice. I lean towards the Marbles, just for nostlgia, but may go to the Winchester sight since it is going on a Winchester. I will have to look at the tang again. I am pretty sure I looked at this before I bought it, and...

no pics yet.........

I will try to get some posted. I know what I am doing around guns, computers are a totally different matter. I have not taken the gun out of its box since I got home. I may still be a little in shock. As I traveled to Scheels, I was worried that the gun would have already been sold when I got there....

I posted recently, asking for feedback on a lever gun for cowboy silhouette shooting. I got some good info. It came down to cost for ammo and components, and a finding a gun I liked, at the right price, and having the funds in hand, all occurring at the same time for a change. I will not be doing th...

Re: No more Ruger Leverguns...?

They lasted a lot longer than a Second Lt. in Vietnam !!

Sorry, but I thought they were ugly !!

Then again, I always thought the Savage lever guns were ugly.
Now I wish I had a classic example of one !!

He has been behind a while now, and some folks got pretty mad at him. I too think he is honorable, and will get caught up. If it is not an affront to this post, you might want to check out WM Brown Holster Company in Tombstone, Arizona. I have a whole rig made by him that I have loved. I have since ...

Re: Went to a gun show today and ticked off the wife.

I tried to get the "Sack-Ups" company that makes those nice silicone impregnated gun sleeves to make some with my saying on it. "My wife doesn't know about this one." That should solve all our problems...right?? Actually, I have it pretty good around here. First, I quit smoking w...

Re: Questions: M94 for silhouette

I do already own a Winchester Model 1886 in 45-70. I really don't need all the extra recoil, plus the gun lettered to 1888, so I don't want to put a ton of rounds through it. I don't know much of anything about the 38-55. Any good on-line places to read up on it??? I have been leaning towards the 32...

I won't buy a NEW Ruger...........

Ever since Bill Ruger backed the hi-cap magazine ban, and a couple other anti-gun measures, I have NEVER bought a NEW one. I have bought a couple used, that way the factory does not get any of my money. This may sound foolish to some, but if gun owners can't stay united, we just make it easier for t...

Happy with my Miroku 92

I have been very happy with my Miroku 92 Winchester. I used it for over 5 years of cowboy action shooting. Always goes bang, so never an issue there. Mine is also very accurate. I do prefer a tang safety to a crossbolt in the receiver. One issue I did encounter, it is somewhat picky on what it feeds...

Thanks for the tips...........

I was already looking for a USED commemorative. I realize how the value drops once they are shot. I really don't want to push an old one too much. I tend to shoot them more sparingly. I already own an 1886 in 45-70, a 92 in 38-40, another 92 in 32-20, plus a 9422. Thanks again. Good Shootin!! DarryH...

Thanks for a great start.
I was pretty sure there was one or two other 94 commemoratives also in this caliber.
Maybe they were carbines and not rifles??
Thanks again.
