Daughters 94 is a shooter (update)
Well my F.I.L. ran out of patience and sent the rifle off to the gunsmith at The Williams Sights Company here in Michigan. For $35 he worked the barrel bands and it’s now a shooter. With hand loads and factory sights that cover the bull at 50yds I still managed to get 2in 5 shot groups every time even after the barrel became too hot to touch.
Still looking at getting a Williams peep for it and a different front sight.
We are now hoping it will give the same results with the Lyman 173gr.
Next is too get my daughter comfortable with the rifle and some more rounds down range.
Thanks again for all the advice.

That looks like a winning combination.

Great results. Looks like one of mine - when was it made?

I'd have to check but it was one of the last off the line. It has the rebounding hammer. Looked new when it was bought at the auction. Paid $300 for it and then put another $35 into it and a little frustration.Old Savage wrote:Great results. Looks like one of mine - when was it made?

I love seeing the next generation of shooters. After all, they will be the ones protecting our rights soon enough!

The new crop of shooters look a lot better than the old fanny burbs I shoot with
Hope she sticks to it and makes it a lifetime hobby.

Re: Daughters 94 is a shooter (update)
If you put a Williams receiver sight on that rifle your 2 inch groups will probably shrink by 1/2. You mention the Lyman 173 grain boolit. I use that one in all of my 30-30's, both Winchester and Marlin. The only thing I would suggest is that before you load up some of those, either do it yourself or have someone slug the bore of your rifle first, then size your cast bullets 1-2 thousands oversize, and use a Lyman M die when reloading. You may already know this, but it's the best way to get accuracy and omit leading. That particular Lyman bullet has a long, long-time reputation as being effective on deer and other critters.
Once you've got that Winnie dialed in the way you want it, it should be a lifetime treasurer for your daughter, and maybe even your grandchildren later on.

What needed to be done with the barrel bands to make it shoot better?

Lostowl05661,
Often, the barrel bands can cause the magazine tube to bind, and that bend the barrel a bit. This can affect accuracy. Here is an article about it, from our parent site, written by Paco Kelly:
