    An Aperture sight is essential for me , my eyes have degraded over time and the Aperture sight has allowed me to keep using “ open sights “ .
    The accuracy that you can achieve over the standard “ Buckhorn “ rear sight is a noticeable and for me a happy side effect .
    I’ve had the Williams sight for about 10 years now and after the initial sighting in , it hasnt been touched and it has never moved or altered even though it has bounced on he Dash of the ute for many thousands of Kilometres.

    What year is your 1894? Looks to be a mid 60’s/70’s model?
    More meplat, more better.

    How does it shoot? heard they went ok but with a little tuning were very good.
    Good friend ended up with a mint Winchester 100 308 semi years ago, the bro to this model.

    Right now at the range I'm knocking down 8in steel plates at 100m, going up to 200 next. it's loud and has a good kick. I love it , but am biased of course. I like the fact they only made these for a few years. This is the only 'big' caliber gun I have at the moment, so not much to judge it against. Back in western Kansas my uncle hunted whitetail deer with it and never had any problems.
