I hate those hoods.....my hood is in the trash.It's a true challenge for me as the sights are blurry. The hooded front sight does help some tho.
You can do a side mount. I did one for my Grandad in his M94 .44 Magnum
Granddaddy used it open sights until his vision got so bad he couldn’t use them anymore.also, see above post where I despise big scopes on rounds that are 200 yards minus but I used to despise any scope on a lever action until I got older. I did purchase a side mount for my Winchester but havent had the nerve to put it on yet. YET.
No pictures but I plan on hunting with me Marlin (pre safety) 336 Octagon 30/30 regular open sights. Also hope to hunt with the newly aquired Henry 357 Big Boy Steel with a Skinner peep. Also looking for any suggestions on good hunting bullets for the 357 as this is a new hunting caliber for me.
I like love them both. I have a MX and a MXLR. Both are very accurate rifles. They will out shoot me any day. On average I can shoot MOA groups with them. Shot my best 3 shot group ever with any rifle, with the MX. the group measured less than 0.5” at 100. If I am shooting good this rifle will do 0.75” 100 yard groups all day long. I have killed coyotes, deer and feral pigs with them. I had one pig, a 200 lb boar run about 20 yards on a quartering away shot. The other pig, all the deer 10 or 12 and a few yotes all DRT, like the hammer of Thor. They are scoped as they are easily 300 yard rifles. They could easily stretch to 450, if you know the distances and use some sort of compensating reticle or dial. I can hold them In about a six inch group out to that distance. The MX with the blued 22” barrel is handier and faster handling than the 24” barreled stainless barreled MXLR. Killed more deer with the MXLR though. I would say if you could but your hands on one for around $1000 and you like Marlin Leverguns you would be happy. Just make sure it don’t have barrel droop, the barrel is not square with the receiver. This makes the barrel point down, but there are way more good rifles than bad ones. Ruger brings them back they are going to sell.How do you like that 338ME?

I’m over here drooling at that .375 Win, and I don’t even know which one it is...lol!!!I have a hard time choosing which lever action to take. I still have to say my favorites are the 35 Rem and 444 Marlin. I still have a 375 Winchester that I haven't taken out yet. Took quite awhile to find the brass and bullets to get some ammo going. Maybe this year will be the maiden voyage for it. (for me anyway)
I have that same rifle with a similar scope. What was the range on that shot out of curiosity?
I like the Long Ranger and have been looking into them.I'm using my Henry Long Ranger .308 all season! Can't wait to get my first one with it!

Its great. I've only shot it once at the range in Ellerbee so far, but it was shooting dead-on at 50, 100, and 150 once I sighted it in at 100. I have a Vortex 4-16 scope on it that is very easy to use.I like the Long Ranger and have been looking into them.

CZ makes a fine firearm. I saw a huge buck killed in Anson Co. way back by a young lady that I'd love to have taken.Was gonna open sight lever gun hunt this year. Went to the gun store to look and came home with my opensighted rifle.... a cz in 7.62x39. It’s a bolt, but it’s my lever gun?!

A lever, is a lever, is a lever.
Best of luck !
I'm sorry.Wait now, are you talking about taking the buck or the young lady? Inquiring minds want to know!
Admins, if this is in too poor taste just delete and scold me soundly.
