While this is truly an act of the highest STUPIDITY, seems to me that if I were the coach and team members/parents, we would have all missed a few days of school and went to the tournament on our own. I'm sure the other school teams wouldn't have had a problem sharing the rifles. Just my opinion th...

It is a big "red dot" sight, for sure. Actually, it projects a red "T". I don't see it with both eyes open - just the red "T" on top of the target. It makes for some very guick shooting at short ranges. The scope set-up is for long-range work. :D

From military.com:

Getting your vehicle bogged down on a combat patrol is bad. Getting it bogged down in an open sewer trench is insult to injury.

Okay - I know that Winchester put on various sights on their lever-actions; especially if the customer custom-ordered the gun and was willing to pay! But I was wondering if their was a "standard" of sorts for the 1892 lever-action. If so, what would that have been, or what would have been ...
