I happen to be lucky to have a Marlin 1894 S Limited (one of 250 made ) in 45 Colt with 16 1/4 barrel. Changed to Skinner sights both Ft and rear. Use 255 LFN over 11 Gr of unique, or 300 Gr Hornady XTP 's over 22 Gr of 4227. I have it set to about 2 in high at 50 yds and on at 100. I also have a ve...

Re: Old win 94 38-55
S# of the 94 is 64119 so it is very early. Is the rebarrel from 1983 Legacy series a complete chop to any collectability of this nice old rifle? Even though the rest is very nice with rcvr turning a nice patina, the stock looks still original and mag tube still has most of the original blue?

Re: 94 Marlin limited

I really enjoy using it as it is great for an old fanny burp like me to carry around in the thick scrub high desert mountains and canyons. l made a nice sling and matching leather buttstock cover for it...

Re: OT - One gun, one load?
I use the 6.5 for just about anything. I like to use cast for target and fun , load my own in 100 gr, use 120/ 140 gr for deer and have several nice cow Elk with 140 grs. I don't think it can be beat, check out some of the many articles on loads for it. Beats the 270 and 308 for all ranges out to 50...

Re: Auction finds
No pre or suffix just the 3080xxxx sn It is a recent make as it has the cross-bolt safety. sure is a light sweet little thing. I will take it out to range soon as we get a slight cool off. Was 103 today and humid for NM.

Re: 22 RIMFIRE FAVORITES
I really like the old ITHICA lever model 72 of which I have two that are just about like new and a Model 49-R which is the early and quite rare lever made by Ithica here in US before the change to the 72 made by Erma in Germany. The 72's are as smooth and very nearly identical to the Henry. Actually...
