Contender 14", Winchester 94AE, anyone have any scope bases for the Winchester? FYI - The older 94 ae BBs require a different base than do the later models. The holes are drilled lateral and the front base mounts like a saddle over the curvature of the reciever ring. Those mounts are expensive and the screws are extra at $5.00 apiece.

I have 5 boxes of ammunition----waiting for the right gun to come along, always wanted one. Savage 99 would be my Holy Grail gun but wouldn't pass on a Winnie or Marlin!

Savage when I was playing with a Trijicon 56mm scope. It's better with irons. It shoots for crap though.

I just picked up a 94 XTR .375 today, serial # 0137XX. Anyone know the date of manufacture? No push thru safety, no rebounding hammer, as I understand it, since it has the half cock feature.

Just sold my Marlin at a gun show yesterday. Never had the need for it here in Missouri for hunting. Only had it out of the safe 2 times in the 16 years I owned it. 2 people left the show yesterday smiling. I was glad to sell it to someone that really seemed to want it.

best guess 21 is 1980, mine is 0150xx and I bought it new in may of 1981. it is going to be my carry gun on the stage coach into the great beyond.

I have a 1978 top eject BigBore94, and a 1980 Marlin 375. Both are great shooters, and both prefer the Hornady 220-gr bullet.
The BB has super-smooth action and loading, the Marlin doesn't feed as smoothly/positively as the BB.
The Marlin is the more accurate.
Cheers,
NPH

Would trade a Win Big Bore 375 with four boxes of ammo for some Finnish Mosins. I am more into the Russian stuff right now.
A Henry Frontier 22mag would get my attention too.
