yesterday, i took my win m94 out to get sighted in for saturday. this is what i got.
i haven't shot for around 1 1/2 months, thats why no. 1 is so off(2 shots for each, 3 shots for no. 5). i settled down and i shot no. 2. a few adjustments(going the wrong way!!!) later, then i shot no. 3. another adjustment, no. 4. another adjustment puts me dead on, no. 5.
the red diamond is around 3". you see 2 shots(which are on) and the one is either i pulled it or something else(me) did. but i won't mind a 1 1/4" group(outside to outside).
yes, i know, "you didn't shoot 10 shots. so you don't know the average group is." all i can say is so what. deer don't seem to mind, or rather they do!!!! soda cans, homemade steel targets, concrete blocks don't seem to mind too. i shot the dicken's out of her. heehee!!!!!
as you may already know, i had a win m94 (1973 version) in 30-30. i killed just about everything that walks, crawls and flies that is in PA. it was a good gun, but the old 30-30 just didn't do it fer me. as i got older, the win m94 goes back in my safe and it didn't reappear for about 25+/- years. now i got a rifle in 30-30 that i don't use.......JES Reboring to the rescue!!!!! he did a GREAT job on my old m94. if you ever have to rebore, see JES!!!!!! my hats off to JES!!!!!!
now i have a 35/30-30(or 35/30) and it shoots GREAT!!!! i use a 200gr fn gc(rcbs .360", lyman #2) with 20gr of 2400/dacron that goes 1726fps. recoil is next to none, i shot about 60-70 rounds in my t shirt and i didn't flinch.(people may know that i use wimp loads, i don't find that recoil bothers me, but why do it?)
i luv this rifle, i should've had the 35/30 years ago!!!!!
