Just purchased a New in box model 94 as my first rifle ( always hunted in shotgun only areas until this year )

We hunt pretty dense woods in area 56 in ontario....

Will the stock sights be ok ?? should i upgrade ??

Will all the gold cause unwanted attention to deer ??

Any advise you could give to a rifle rookie please do ...

Thanks all

Shoot it and see how it does,...or, how you do with it :D

It should do fine "as is" for the hunting situation you describe.

PS...what's the C-Clamp on the tang for :?: :? ...is the stock cracked already :lol: :D :wink:
 
Your rifle is just fine, gold and all........take a few shots with those sights at 50yds and see how you do.....then fire a few at 100. If you can hit a tin can with open sights at 100, you are ready to hunt with that gun. If you cant, maybe look at getting a peep sight which is a bit better.

You can scope the rifle but I dont think its necessary....you will do just fine with the sights or a peep sight.......
 
Bit of advice to a first time lever gunner.
Don't get carried away with images of The Rifleman, or John Wayne in your head. Make that first shot count, the speed is there for a second, but don't think about it 'till or if you need it.
To be really successful with a '94 demands you be a cool shot.
I agree with the peep sight idea by the way, a tremendous improvement to the '94's accuracy potential, and a faster sight for hunting. Is it drilled and tapped?

For dense woods type stuff your 94 Carbine is Perfect 8)
Foget a scope, your's is the Top eject and this necessitates the Fugly side mounted scope, stick with sights.

The stock sights are fine for 100 and under stuff, they certainly are good enough for fast shots in the thick stuff. You didn't buy a "Long range precision" rifle, sights won't change this :wink:
Practise with the stockers and when you think you can outshoot them maybe upgrade to a replacement type.

If the deer spot your Bling...you were probably screwed already anyways, don't worry too much about the "shine" :)
 
City Hunter. you got some good advice from everone and remember what John Y canuck said about 1st shot, and remember this bit of advice from a old hunter who has heard about and sean accidents with the 94 and other levers by winchesters, when your unloading and laoding take caution always of coarse have it pointed in a safe direction, for every time you lever it, its cocked and let that hammer down with caution!!!!!!!!
 
That shiney gold receiver will produce no more glare than the typical Browning wood-stocked rifle with it's super-shiney finish. LoL

Like the others said if a deer sees the receiver of your rifle it has already made you,

"...should I bother..." No. The ejection is straight up so you'd have to use an offset scope mount and that's awkward.
"...the typical Browning..." Or a Remington. If you blind is good enough, the deer won't see you or your rifle. They're colour blind anyway and notice motion long before they see a bright colour. In any case, your picture, well done by the way, has the action in full sunlight with no glare. Go shoot it and tell us how well it shoots. 150 grain bullets should do nicely.
