BLR Musings
So.... I've been reading up on BLRs recently and was wondering if anyone here could comment on the functional aspects of Belgian vs. new-build models. Specifically, are the 2008 era BLRs more accurate? Do they have better triggers? Is extraction improved? Or, are any of those things true in reverse,...

Re: Replacement sight for Marlin 1894C ??
I like the combination of an XS front sight and a Williams FP peep. Have that setup on my 1894C and my Win 94 (pics), also rigging my 9422 that way. The 94 and 9422 also have Marble's folding-leaf rear sights instead of the factory irons. http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll139/Haycock-PA/Picture00...

Re: The 94 can't do it all - ...
So, basically this is what you're saying:
For "hunters", those that actually know how to and can hunt, there's nothing the 94 can't take.
For "shooters" , those that consider "250yd + shots" necessary, the 94 is a handicap.
