I have a M-94. It's one of the last Pre-64's to come off the line. I've had it a few years and guess it's my most used centerfire rifle. All the blue is gone from the receiver and the barrel is somewhat faded. The wood has some varnish left. I replaced the rear sight with a Lyman 66.
My standard load is RCBS 30-180-FN and 22 grs. of IMR 3031. This does 1600 fps. I site the gun dead on at 100 yards. I've only taken two whitetail bucks with this bullet but both were one shot kills.
I bulk load 30-30 ammo and shoot it for a fun gun. It also makes a fine truck gun. I know some places require a flatter shooting arm but here in the hollow it works fine. Though I must use some hold over it will stay on my 300 yard rock.
Anyone use a 94 as an every day rifle?
