surveyor527; If you go with the XS Scout mount, you're going to need the receiver above the barrel/chamber d&t'd for two mount holes. Other than that it's a straight do-it-yourself job, IF the rearsight dovetail is 4 inches in front of the receiver. Since I already had the '94 at the gunsmiths, ...

Sorry for no pics, guys, but I finally got my win 94 scout rifle back from the gunsmith and immediatly took it to the range to sight it in at 100yds. MAN AM I HAPPY with what I did to Pappy's old (1977 vintage, found in a crashed and partially burned airplane) 30/30!! :D Found in a crashed and part...

Thanks for posting those, guys. I enjoyed "Lights Out" so much I've read it twice already.
GREAT, More online reading!!

I've heard the main reason for the weird weather is that there's been virtually no sun activity for the last TWO years, ie. sun spots and flares, hence the cooler weather. So much for global warming, eh?

I'm from the other side of the tracks who believes somebody ELSE is responsible for that attack, and it Ps me off to no end that they are getting away with it!

1894cfan

If you really want to got the route of getting a butt pad, I'd suggest a Pachmeyer Decelerator, it's what I'm putting on my Win 94. HTH

1894cfan

FYI, a section of brass welding rod will also work in a pinch. HTH

In another post, I speak of we have a Jaguar in my area, if things escalate beyond the status quo, I may have to eliminate the Jag. I remember from Capstick, that Leopards, the Jag is a relative, is the only animal, that hunts homo sapien for sport! They also run in four "wheel" drive whe...

1894cfan, I have heard of it, but never come across a copy. Is it as good as the other two? Yes, it covers hunting Africa's big five, lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo and rhinoceros. "In Death in the Dark Continent, Capstick brings to life all the suspense, fear and exhilaration of stalki...

" secret police " in this country are a no-no. +1 on that. If you are enforcing a 'just' law, you don't need a disguise. Agree 100%, even though it has nothing to do with what I posted about. I remember a one panel cartoon that shows what looks like a stuffed swat member mounted on the wa...

try 4-8 grains of Unique or Red Dot, Been using that since '73 with 113gr Lee FP for a squirrel load and general plinking/shooting. Thanks, 3leggedturtle. The RCBS cast bullet manual has a load of 9.0-11.0gr Unique for their 30-115-SP bullet. I think I'll try a starting load of 7.0gr for 5rds (one ...

1894cfan

Primers backing out would indicate there isn't enough pressure to set the case back against the bolt face. Similar effect of shooting wax bullets in a revolver without enlarging primer flash holes. Like three legged turtle mentions go with quicker powder and it should be okay. Unique is a good powd...

1894cfan

What?!

I just want a low velocity plinking load. The load that I was given last year using 27gr IMR 3031 does work, but the primers are backing out a bit, hence the query for Unique loads.

1894cfan

Anybody here have favorite loads for the 30/30win using Hornady 30cal 85gr JSP's with Unique powder? TIA

1894cfan

As I mentioned already, I've got a 2X EER scope in hand, so might see if it works with the XS Scout mount, and since I have the Leupold Scout Scope on (back)order from Midway, I just might turn my 1894c into a Scout Rifle also.

Thanks for all the opinions, guys. Have decided to go with the Leupold Scout Scope, even if it is a bit more expensive. Now to have a couple holes d&t'd to mount the XS Scout Rail. BTW, 94 is a 1977 vintage.

Yup, just like that. What scope is that? BTW, I've got a Williams Fool Proof on mine.

Thanks, jkbrea. I do have other Leupold scopes that I'm happy with, was just wondering if I really needed the focusing option on the Burris, and what others opinions were on these two.

1894cfan

I checked out Scout Scopes over at MidwayUSA and narrowed it down to 2 scopes, Burris and Leupold. Which one do you guys think is the better scope? TIA

1894cfan

Tycer wrote:Yep, I mis-read. It should be the leupold Scout Scope IER.

Thanks, Tycer. IF the EER 2X pistol scope don't work (I've already got one of these), I will end up getting the Scout Scope IER.

1894cfan

Gonna turn my Win 94 into a scout rifle, using XS lever scout mount. Is a Leupold 2X EER scope adiquit(sp?)? Is a 30/30 good enough for use as a scout rifle?

1894cfan

Anybody here know if the Stack-On brand of safes is of the same design?

1894cfan

My first guns ever were a Marlin 39a and a Ruger Single-Six, in that order.

Perfect, just what I need, something ELSE to buy for my M1 carbine!!

Two 39As, one 1948 w/ Williams FP w/target knobs, one 1977 w/ Weaver K4.

Sorry about no pics, no camera.

Mine DOES look like that, EXACTLY like that, even made in the same year! Heck, I even had to go to the safe to make sure mine was still there!

I shoot 180 cast bullets with 12gr SR4759 useing standard primers out of my new model blackhawk and 1894c. I got that load out of the RCBS cast bullet reloading manual. I get 1346fps out of an 18.5" barrel. BTW, max load is 13gr.

1894cfan

Aside from the .22's that I plink and target shoot with, most of my guns I use as a good place to store some of my ammo.

I'd like to see them do that on a Glock firing pin!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heck, they'd need a electron microscope to read it.

Thanks for the info, guys. It does have the rounded front sight hood AND Lyman 66MC receiver sight. I've been thinking of getting a Marbles slot blank to stick in the slot of the missing rear sight. BTW, the bore is in REALLY good condition. I've been told that I'm only the second owner of this 39A....

And am trying to find out something about it. S/N E69XX stamped under lever, with tappered barrel, rather large bellied forearm, drilled and tapped for scope mount, receiver sight (currently has a Lyman sight), AND tang sight. It appears to be in pretty good condition but has seen a fair amount of u...

I think I've got a perfect example for you guys. My nephew was convicted of felonys, did his time and completed parole.

Nice pics and stories, guys. I just picked up a .357/20Ga just yesterday for a couple hundred. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
