    Aperture sights for a pre-64 model 94

    I like and have bought Skinner sights for Marlin .22's . I didn't know they made one for the pre-64 model 94.

    Aperture sights for a pre-64 model 94

    Very interesting. Perhaps the new stocks were designed for scopes and not iron sights? I plan on getting the Williams fool proof and hope I can keep my front sight. I would like the hood for it that is missing from mine.

    Short barreled .257AI

    I am having a rifle rebarreled in a .257 Roberts AI. Mine will have 7.5 twist and be 20 inches in length. I am new to loading for the Roberts and the AI version and want to ask if leaning toward faster powders would be an advantage with the shorter tube. With powders being harder to find...

    Twist rate for .257 115 to 130 monos; 257 AI

    Wow! I have ordered a 7.5 twist .257AI as well and it is due in June as well. What barrel maker did you choose? Mone was Shaw and I can only hope it would arrive early.

    Aperture sights for a pre-64 model 94

    Wow!! That is the kind of answer I was hoping for. I honesty didn't expect that kind of accuracy that was great. I also am glad you didn't have to replace the front sight as that was a concern I didn't even state. Great pictures and thanks! Pockets

    Aperture sights for a pre-64 model 94

    I recently acquired a pre 64 Winchester model 94 in 30/30. I am a deer hunter and have more than a few deer rifles. I enjoy taking game with different rifles I load for as an added challenge. I now have a model 94 in 30/30 built in 1959 the year I was born. I want to take a deer with it but...

    .257 Roberts hunters only

    UPDATE: After responding to your remark from my post I called my gunsmith. His son who takes calls and relays responses to customers was able to contact the barrel manufacturers with the order number and change the twist rate. For the AI barrel I chose on a 10 twist and a 7.5" twist was...

    .257 Roberts hunters only

    I have ordered a 10 twist and was given the option of a faster 8.5" twist. I was thinking 120gr. would be the heaviest bullet I would use and the 10" twist would do. You got me curious and I can contact my gunsmith and see if a change-order could be possible. Thanks for the insight.

    .257 Roberts hunters only

    Howdy, I am having built a .257 Roberts AI on a Remington model 7 action. I am an avid reloader, shooter and hunter. I am new to the .257 Roberts but chose to rebarrel a great rifle in a .25 cal and not a .243 just to be different. It will be a 10" twist so my loads will be 120 gr and under...

    Handgun hunting with Nosler 300gr 44mag

    Guy, I question why I bought them as my Nosler load manual didn't even list them in there. I don't load different bullets to manuals of other brands. It is now available but till I learn more...

    Handgun hunting with Nosler 300gr 44mag

    I am thinking that too. I do have a 44 mag rifle but I never hunt with it opting for something better suited. Thanks

    Handgun hunting with Nosler 300gr 44mag

    When hunting with one of my 44mag revolvers I usually have them loaded with a .240gr. HP. I have both 7 1/2" and 5 1/2" barreled Super Blackhawks and dependent upon the occasion (hunting or woods walking) I carry one or the other. I have a box of 300gr Nosler that I have had for a time and not...
