You mean all that stuff I've been doing most of my life is actually good? What, I don't need an AR or AK type rifle to survive attacks by psychotic chipmunks?
Honestly, who are these blogs written for 10 year olds who've never held a levergun?

Oh, and it seems the RO pictured is special and doesn't need to set good examples with regards to hearing protection.

Probably 'already deaf' like lots of my friends... :|

Of course that's why the BEST training rifle is a suppressed levergun.... :mrgreen:

I think a lever gun should be left to look like a lever gun, do we have to change everything. :roll:

Pitchey til my eyes went south I would have agreed. But these days some sort of optics sure helps. I originally put a C-More holosight on my GS. Now it wears a scout scope. But, that's about the only change I think needs to be made.

I agree with that people have been figuring out ways to mount scopes on levers for ever, but rails and such like on AR`s is to much imo.
That`s just me each to there own I recon. :)

Sights... highly over-rated. I just put the fuzzy stick thingie at the front of the barrel inside the fuzzy "U" thingie at the back, and point 'em at the fuzzy thingie out "yonder" and pull the trigger. I usually hit the fuzzy thingie out "yonder"... just not necessarily where I'd like to! :lol:

Years ago Ashley Emerson was demonstrating "how to" with a levergun and doing it without optics and among "tactical" stuff .... oh for young eyes again!

I bit the bullet some time ago and put red dots on my iron sighted guns. an 1892 rossi 357 wears one at the moment. I have bad stigmatisms so the red dot is actually a long slash with a sort of right angle shape :D but its still easier to get on target than irons.

Yeah, I got a few leverguns I keep 'original', but if the choice is using one of them and missing (which is what most 8 year old kids who have never shot a gun before do with an open-sighted gun), versus using an 'ugly' one and hitting the target, I'll take the latter option - especially if it helps a kid get have fun and interested in shooting.
