Congratulations. I don't think I've ever killed one with an open sighted rifle but, did kill one with a open sighted .357 Magnum. Why do I have to press 1, for English?

Was the bullet cast or jacketed? I’ve had my 99 in .32-40 out a couple of time this year but no opportunities yet…….it’s been splitting time with an 1894 Winchester in .25-35. Thanks for sharing!

I got my 1st deer and 1st elk both with a Win 94 in 32 Special. I got a number of deer with that rifle before I got my 1st scoped gun. I'm betting that most of the 70+ members here did something similar. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.

Half the fun of hunting is killing something with these old guns and iron sights…
