Went to the range yesterday to play with a couple levers. I removed the scope from my .357 Big Boy and put the peep sights back on. The gun was shooting way low so I just brought it home to file a few hundredths off the front blade. I had been trying different loads in the Uberti and was sighting it in for a load it likes, 150grn Beery's over 28grns of W748. The Uberti has a 26" barrel and with the tang sight it gives a 34" sight radius, even with my old eyes good groups are possible.
50yds off the bench I had two great two shot groups while sighting in.
Not great off hand at the pig though but not too bad.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Re: Uberti 94
Is the Uberti a .357 also? Sounds like a nice looking rifle.

Re: Uberti 94
It does seem to like that load.
Offhand shooting is something I'm working on as I've never been real good at it.
Hey, only 3 not in the the white
, I do like the way you dotted
his eye.
What cal. is the 94? Hey Tom, it's a rifle cal., he's using W748.
Are there any pics. to prove such a rifle exist.

Re: Uberti 94
The Uberti is a 30-30, wanted a 38-55 but I am glad to have this one.

Re: Uberti 94
Cool rifle I'm sure, I kinda stumbled into a 38-55 Marlin a few years back.
Really wish I had of realized what a cool cal. they are, before then.
I'd probably have a few more of them.

Re: Uberti 94
Went to the Uberti site and found it. 30-30 or 38-55. Beautiful rifle. And appears to be a good shooter.
Yeah, 748 should have tipped me off.
