Aperture sights for a pre-64 model 94

[MT Pockets]

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 with iron sights and no scope. I do want to add an aperture sight as I wear corrective lenses and would fare better in different lighting conditions than the buckhorn sights of old. Looking at Lyman, Williams and Marbles I wonder if any offer an advantage over the other. I understand Lymans are not made in the USA and that could rule them out for me but would like to hear what someone more versed would say?

I have a Williams fool proof sight on my 1980 model 94.
I’m not sure if the difference in the two years would allow you to use this set up on your rifle or not, but I’m really happy with how these sights work for me.
I didn’t have to change or alter my front sight either.
I use different sized apertures for different conditions. A small sized one for sighting in, and target shooting. A larger one for hunting, and I’ll even remove the aperture for end of day low light hunting.
I found it really easy to adjust and get sighted in.
Would have no problem recommending this sight.
The first picture is a target at 200 yards and a three shot group. The bottom shot was with the bead covering the target, and the top two was with the bead resting on the top of the target. (A lot more luck than skill I might add).
I hand load the Hornady 160 grain FTX bullets, and Leverevolution powder.
You can see muzzle velocity in picture number two.

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!

I’m glad I could help!
As I’ve said most likely more luck than skill!
