Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Truck Guns(the beaters, the everyday rifle...)

Well now everyone knows you must be a poor shot out of the window, if your carrying that big adjustable to finish'em.

This old M94 has been knocking around in trucks since 1961...and the finish shows it. But the bore is nice and bright, and with that Williams FP and Firesight, along with Federal Blue Box (170 gr), it'll hold it's own at 100 yards: around 2 inches. That's the best I can do with 53 year old eyes.

Here is my $2 grandson with my #1 truck gun. I bought it off the internet for the action and the 10X dot Leupold. I should have never shot it. 17 Remington that shoots between .5" and .75" for about 150 rounds until it needs to be cleaned.

The guy that had it sanded all of the impressed checkering off and thinned it down, yep he said that.

The barrel is even double stamped but it shoots too well and fills a nitch.

Sorry duplicate post

Started life as a thrashed Israeli Mauser with a bulged barrel near the muzzle. Added a receiver sight, choate stock, welded a sporty bolt handle on it and it's just the right size for the truck.

I love seeing the rifle variations and cab pics, very interesting, thanks for the posts!


That is a crazy lookin' rig there Max, right length!


What is the OAL of the rifle?

38 3/4" over all length, 18" barrel.

Damned if I can figure how to rotate it, but there's a Ruger 223 in there with the 16" barrel. Loud as hell if you don't get the barrel out the window.

SWEET! Does the bolt still lock to the rear on the last round?

Nope, ground it down, aids in cycling and dry firing.

Hard to have your rifle handy, if you have to dig around for it when needed....grin

I have an 88 model that's almost identical to your rig, right down to the same tape, and bucket and amount of chit you gotta stand on.

did the 88's come with custom feedsack seatcovers, too?

We've got a barrel of feed bags at the rancho.. Seat covers are a great idea!

Wifey is going to love it.

Sammo's wife can retire the towel.....

CFVA, that is a sweet dog!
(there's a rifle in the pic?)

Max, sounds handy!


John and Don, empty mineral bags work great as well, nice thing is you can replace them everyday!

Yep! That dog looks like he's open for business!

The feed bags work great, there goes my million dollar idea! If you use mineral bags they'll make the rifle rust, ss or not.

Thanks for the comments on the dog, best pooch I've ever had. She's about 18 months, was abused as a pup and only has one eye. Never seen an animal appreciate a good home so much, or get so pissed when I leave in that truck and don't take her!

Those are limited edition covers. It doesn't cost much more to go first class!

where's the pale ale?
