Today at the Bench.....

Yep, 44 Magnum. Ruger has done a pretty good job of maintaining the "classic" look of the lever guns they are introducing. I am going to at least wait until I get a chance to shoot it before I consider mounting a scope. Thanks for your thoughts, it is kind of how I am leaning.

Ive heard/read that Ruger is doing right by these old classics. If ever you need an opinion, look me up, I’m full of them. HAHA!

Here is some pictures of my Marlin 1895 with two different scopes on it. One thing to note on these pictures is that the scopes are mounted about an inch farther back than they should be because of the slip on recoil pad over the factory recoil pad which lengthens the length of pull about an inch.



2-7x32 vortex



1.5-5x20 Leupold.

Now that doesn't look bad at all. That is just a sweet looking rifle! I think I like the Vortex look better. The scope I have to put on the 1894 is a Leupold 2-7x32, thinking it might look ok on there now. Thanks for posting these!

I’ve been sighting in rifles for hunting season. I’m just about finished. Next weekend I will get the finishing touches done.

I bet that 2-7 Leupold will look great on your 94.

I’ve been a busy little beaver at the bench. Brass prep has included 35 Remington, 338 Federal, 250 Savage, 7.5x55, and 7x57.

I have loaded some 30-40 hunting rounds with Hornady 150gr RN and IMR4350, some 7x57 fireforming rounds, more 35 Remington test loads.

My to do list has 35 Remington hunting rounds with Hornady 200gr RN and IMR3031, 257 Roberts Ackley test loads with 120gr Hornady HP and RL19, 338-06 Ackley test loads with 200gr BST and BigGame, and 357 Magnum with 190gr Hunters Supply WFN and 2400.

I think that’s all for now.
