Scopeless stalking with a Winchester '94
I'm heading to Montana in October with guys from my local camp in Upper Peninsula, MI. I have a 1940's Mauser model '98 (heavy gun, but accurate as hell with great action and set/hair triggers) and a 1921 Savage 250-3000 both with new Leupolds (they were scoped when I inherited them, I just updated/upgraded). A friend just gave me the "high-grade quality" 200th anniversary Winchester model '94 that came with his "Custom" version. Am I insane that I want to do this hunt with iron sights and this beautiful lever action? I've not hunted Montana before (will be in Livingston area), and I've got a pretty good amount of cash invested in this hunt. Am I letting testosterone cloud my judgement? And out of curiosity, how would you rank these three in order for this hunt? Thanks! Joe
