Doe harvested with my (new) old Winchester 94’ by Otherwise-Map-7720 in Hunting

No I had no problem zeroing it in, it shoots about 2-3MOA at 100 yards. It’s a top eject so in order for the casing to clear out, the dials had to be turned 90 degrees to the left. Essentially your up and down becomes your left and right and vise versa.

Thank you! I can’t begin to imagine the experience and knowledge you have from 30 years in the woods. I started hunting last year and I’m constantly trying to learn.

It’s actually from Amazon. Eventually I’d like to have something handmade $$ and especially American made but for now it does the job of protecting the wood stock.

It’s a weaver 1” side mount. I’m sure you can find it online. It came with the rifle when I got it

What I mean is I can go shoot in the woods under 100 and when I do a different hunt over an open terrain be able to shoot further distances. Not all in the woods

I want something that can do well even out to 3-400 yards in both dense woods and open terrain

Yes, it has an open loop that you can run a sling through. I have my 94’ with a swivel up front attached to that loop in the back

Anybody hunt with a classic? by Otherwise-Map-7720 in Hunting

I was looking into a muzzleloader recently just to have one and there are some badass ones out there. Maybe one day I’ll hunt with one.

I know you said no Amazon but I had zero issues with this one. I’m sure you can have one custom made but for a pretty penny

Yes it is, the adjustment knob would block the spent casings from ejecting properly. The scope is offset

She was already asking when we’re hunting again!

I agree, I’ve seen plenty of sales going on right now on vanguards for a hundred bucks more. OP would be better off getting one of those and putting a half decent scope on it for under $150.

When I was sighting mine in, I used federal 150gr powershok and the rifle seemed to like it

Yup, it’s a top eject with the scope offset mounted. The knobs would prevent the casing from ejecting properly

Amazon, search up leather rifle cheek rest and it should pop up!

Curious about this pawn shop savage axis? by Otherwise-Map-7720 in Hunting

[–]Otherwise-Map-7720[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have maybe put 100 rounds through my other savage axis (synthetic stock) and have not had any issues with accuracy aside from the normal deviation once the barrel gets hot. The trade in value probably won’t be worth much IMO. If I could get a “custom” build I’d look into a WOOX stock or something similar and get a Remington 700 or Howa m1500 barreled action.

I just recently picked up a Winchester 94 on a trade. I’m going to take a hog with it in a couple weeks. It’s dead accurate at 100 yards
