Though I do have a few small bore bolt centerfires I am fond of.


@T_Inman, I know this post is OLD, but man... What's that rear sight you got on there. That's sexy.



Good guess MOGC but it is actually a XS Ghost Ring, though I'd have zero reservation with a Skinner.

Marlin 39 XS


What kind of accuracy are you seeing with that combination Tin? Certainly looks svelte.


Hands down my favorite chicken gun is Mathews Switchback XT. Stuffing a 100 grain Judo through a ruffie or snowshoe hare is definitely satisfying.


Good question. I honestly don't know.
I've never actually shot that rifle at a target, besides a random beer can to make sure it was on, then started killing stuff. I bought it used with that peep and front sight.


Glad I came back to have another read on this thread. Still getting used to the campfire forum and don't see "alerts" for responses to threads. Anyway... I would have never figured it for an XS Sight, being so low profile and rounded like that. If I hadn't of just paid too much for a Lyman 56MC, I think this would have been the one. Guess I gotta' get me another 39. That's a sweet looking setup.


Yep.

I'm setting up my newly acquired 77/357 with a Vortex strikefire 2. That will be my small game rig from now on.

My two small game guns are a First year prod. Bearcat( gun I learned to shoot ) and a Marlin 25 Santa brought to me at age 12. Both have served me well for 40 + years and I am only 50.

Me old Belgium made Browning T-Bolt with and old Leupold 2-7 rim fire scope and standard velocity CCI Mini Mags. Scope pretty much stays on 6 power and has a thin Duplex reticle. Trigger breaks like a tiny ice cycle and it shoots very well.

Just took possession of an older 39A on Monday. Mounted the only short-range parallax scope I had, a 2-7 Leupy ML. The reticle is a bit coarse, but it’s still minute of squirrel to 50 yards at least. I’m thinking the rifle itself is just about perfect for small game. The scope may get swapped out for an RF 4x.

Had a Mountie long ago and far away, but this one is a bit nicer, and the front sight is straight.

My primary squirrel rifle the last couple seasons has been a Henry Big Boy Steel carbine hooting 32 S&W Long 115gr cast loads. DRT performance with body shots, and very easy on the ears since they're subsonic.

My rabbit rifle is still my trusty old Winchester 9422, since rabbits bang/flop a lot easier than squirrels.

The way the Drill Instructor described it my gun is in the pants. I gave up on getting any game at all with that gun, large or small.


I prefer classic.
