Lever Gun and BS Thread

The Dr. Skinner's sights are awesome and look like they were built just for this rifle.

 

Do they have adjustable windage or are they set?

 

It's adjustable for windage and elevation. You rotate the aperture up or down by screwing it down or loosening it. A set screw holds it in place when set. Windage adjusts by a dovetail that slides left and right, also held by a set screw. I've never had to adjust my Skinner sights after initial setting. It's held zero for over 10 years now. Another reason why irons are my favorite, they don't move.

 

Just wanted to make sure. I was curious if I used different ammo and if it would be easy to adjust the zero.

What other aperture sights are there? I don't want to have to loosen set screws and drift sights with punches.

 

There's one big ghost ring, but you can buy different sized screw in apertures, depending how big you want your aperture hole. Yeah, all the work is in the initial zeroing. After that, you're done. Mine is zeroed to Federal 150gr soft tips, as that's what shoots best out of my rifle. Not difficult to readjust at all if that's what you're wondering. All you need is a 3/32" allen wrench if I remember correctly.

 

I've done that with pistol sights.

I was going for something more fluid like the match sights for Camp Perry stuff.

 

Got a pic of what you're talking about?

 

Have you check out Leman or William's Peep Sights? They may offer what you are looking for!

 

That Williams sight looks like exactly what I'm looking for, thanks!

 

I wish someone would make a decent pump action rifle in 44 or 357

 

So I found these two in my uncles house when we were cleaning it out.
First a Winchester model 94 law mans edition


Second is a model 94 Illinois Sequintenial edition only made the n 1968




nether has been remote bed from the box or ever fired. I’m giving them to my daughters when they get married. I’m not going to hunt with collector rifles

 

You have stumbled upon a gold mine my friend. Have you seen what 30-30s are going for nowadays?

 

i've enjoyed my time with mine, shoot good suppressed with the right load

 

what kind of tripod you got there?

 

Nope I haven’t looked. Since these are family heirloom I just need panned to hand over to the girls. This being a lever action thread I didn’t post the gun I found I value the most as it will still at with me but I also found a Springfield Arms Civil War issued rifle that has had the falling block conversion done by Springfield.

 

I have a Model 88 Winchester chambered for .308 Win. Basket weave so it's about 1965 or so. PO cut a notch in the left side stock for a scope Winchester Model 88 .308 Win Lever Action Rifle... for sale (gunsamerica.com)

$645 for that one same as mine, I'm thinking to sell it along with a S&W model 19 4" .357. Pinned barrel so about 1965.

 

Nice rifles you've got there, I've got a couple Winchester collector 30-30's myself. I am sure this does not need to be said but Please Do Not throw away the boxes! These will make great gifts someday. Enjoy!

 

Picked up my first lever gun today! I found this Savage 99A in 308 Winchester at my LGS and decided I couldn’t leave it there.
