    Just for the heck of it, figure out what the NY state sales tax would be, on the ammo you buy in Maine.  When you get home, place that amount in cash in an envelope, mail it to gov Hochul, along with a note saying that you felt bad about spending your money out of state and you wanted to make sure that at least the state got their cut, even though the NY state business owners and their employees did not.  
     

    Maybe that will help her see the error in her ways.  
     

     

    There is probably a law about transporting across state lines

    I was thinking about this deer in stand yesterday. Lets just say he makes it through gun season. Isn't that exposed muscle going to be frost bite when it gets super cold? I would think that would kill him. 

    Dunno ,,, I was hoping I’d see him when I had a gun with me but nope ..

    You guys remember that video of the buck with its whole upper back and shoulder laid wide open? Somebody posted it on here a year or 2 ago and I heard it on internet recently, too.  As he walked, you could see minute detail of the muscles and bones in his upper shoulder moving; wonder how long he lasted....

    Yea that was proven to be fake

    Wow that is amazing. Keep on with the trail camera picts. But could that wound ever heal? Looks just too wide I don't know. That 10 pt I shot had lost the back hoof. Just bone packed with dirt. He was out with a doe at 4:00. Survival and reproductive instincts. 

    I guess IF it doesn’t get infected he could survive …

    I figured he was either dead from the injury or someone shot him

    But he’s still here

    Usually .. especially when I’ve filled my tags and it’s snowing and cold outside.

    Its called boredom ..

    I just finished waxing the shower in the master bath , cleaned the tile floor, cleaned all windows ( 23) cleaned all my long guns ..

    I have several firearms that still sport open sights, be it shotgun, handgun or rifle all have fiber optic fire type sights installed. They just give a better sight picture for my old eyes, that being said I still can sight better with  and prefer a scope especially when the light is faded during dusk or dawn. When I have to make a shot I want to have the best sight picture I possibly can have.

    The Deer I took this year was a perfect example, walking through some pretty heavy cover at a distance of a little over 100 yds I would have not taken the shot with open sights as I could not be positive of making a clean hit. With a scope I was able to see small clear openings and when she hit one I touched her off and that was all she wrote.

    Al

    I do have to admit I prefer the looks of a lever gun with no scope

    I usually use my .243 , 20 gage 1100 or Muzzloader , all of which have scopes 

    But I’d kinda like to kill a deer with my Model 94

    Just not sure it’s worth investing in a scope for the few times I’d use it.

    I may try the Truglo sites first

    On that note...leave er as be. They were originally designed for open sights, and the A/E doesnt change its fine in the hand handling. If anything, is the side of the reciever drilled and tapped for an aperture sight? Learn how to shoot properly with a quality aperture (peep) and you will think you are shooting a different gun. All of mine wear one. Lyman makes a good one. 

    No the side isn’t drilled , the top is drilled for scope mounts

    again it’s an AE

    I’m betting u feel the same about me adding a recoil pad

    Anyone try the Truglo fiber optic sights ?

    Im still up in the air about adding a scope . Kinda takes something away from the style of gun ..

    And truth is I probably won’t use it much for hunting ,

    My go to is my scoped .243 . scoped muzzleloader and scoped 1100 LT20

    So the 94 will just be used on occasion

    I bought this AE about 10 yrs ago , haven’t shot it much but thought I’d like to hunt with it for fun firm time to time .

    the sights are hard to see with my 64 yr old eyes that’s why I was thinking a scope 

    I have a Leupold on my 1100 20 gage.. I like it ok but don’t really see its much better than my Vortex

    But I’m a rookie :)

    Im sure rings and mounts will be another 100.00

    i will probably just buy the bullet

    Buy once , cry once

    The AE uses a normal eye relief scope, unless you mount it on the barrel as a scout style rifle.

    I would look for a good used Leupold 1.5-5x20mm or a 2-7x33mm in a Vari-x or VX II model. They work great and have a lifetime warranty that applies no matter who owns it now.

    Ouch 300.00 

    more than I paid for the rifle :)

    what about mounts ?

    Yep. The AE was designed for scope use. I would be surprised if it wasnt drilled and tapped...it will be obvious if it was. If not, any gun smith should be able to .  Look carefully into the scope mounts/reciever mounts, as they likely will be a bit tricky to find, as of course the rifle has long been out of production. 

    I absolutly agree with Grouse....keep the scope magnification on the low side...despite what some may say, claiming great accuracy etc. at a zillion yards, the 30-30 was designed for a relatively short range weapon (100 yards is fine). I also love the Leupold 1.5 x 5 scope . Durable, quality, great optics....designed for such a use. All mine were bought used at a very significant savings.

    (I have owned three 1.5 x 5, still have 2) even used will be backed up by Leupolds lifetime warranty...

    But then again....really, the Marlin 336 is a much better design overall (and I have owned four 94s and love them), and much better with a scope with its solid top, designed from the go as a side eject....but heavier. You would likely be able to sell your 94 and easily get a 336 off the money made...just a thought.

    It is drilled and tapped already

    Any idea a good Leupold scope and mounts for this ? Assume it’s a long eye relief
