I like Bro. Jim's little short .30-30 with receiver sight. I know how handy that is. But I can get close and do my own thing with Puffy's old 94.

The .375 is more fun to load anyway. Wonder why no one has ever "improved" the .375 Win. since it's so long tapered? I bet you could get a 15-20% increase in powder capacity. Probably limited in lever guns, not that many out there, it might be a good rechamber for S.S. But then you could just do what I did and go full .378 GNR. But there is something to be said for the easy and cheap .30-30 brass.

I think I'm going to try one of those Skinner sights - WB, 2018-02-03, 09:12
