Grand old rifle Homer aren't they! I do have a one myself, albeit not so good original but in .32-20. Boy I wish the old calibres were still options! The sights are getting rather difficult for me to use well now (bloody eyes), but it is a lot of fun to shoot. Got mine specifically to teach the younger ones, especially when graduating from a .22LR. The blast from say a .223 can be off-putting for them. I have worked out a sub-sonic load that gets just over 800fps (2.5gn Trail Boss) for the 115gn pill; & works wonders! The 'Rook & Rabbit' 1200fps loads come next (I have gone to 1500 fps in mine but that is all I dare go on the loading scale for this rifle). Even with my top loads there is virtually no recoil - but they do bark a bit more. Slow & steady steps! Yes the red dot on your rig may look out of place, but when your eyes start to deteriorate - you have no choice but to compromise somewhere! Would make bullet placement/lead so much easier. Great to see the '92 being built again. With new steel yours will be a lot tougher than mine, so that .45LC will make a bloody good pig thumper. Obviously will you reload them hotter than a pistol load so they certainly still have some punch even out at 100m! |
