Is the 32-20 a good caliber for chicken. Are you better off with a 60 grain load at 2100 ofr a 115 grain load at 1200 and better penetration?

The tang is a Marbles and it worked out just fine with the factory front. I have since removed it however as I did not like the way it felt to grip with it in place. I went instead with a Smith full buckhorn rear sight which works good for me as a peep type sight.

Which receiver sight and why?

I have a 30 WCF Marlin 1893, circa 1904 that is in pretty nice shape. It still retains some of the CCH (85 to 90 %, but faded), the blue is clean and dark, the action is smooth and tight, the bore is bright and it shoots good groups with both jacketed and cast loads. Unfortunately the wood has been ...
