I hope I solved the problem with my 30/30 It was shooting way high with 150 grain loads. And i could not find any 170 brain loads or bullets. So I went looking for a new front sight. Took awhile but found one yesterday. The Factory sight on my 1899 Vintage Model 1894 SRC was marble #894. The old Winchester sight book shows that as the right one. I found a marble 94C and it took a bit of work to get the 122 year old pin out of the old sight and even more work to get it back in. ( the pin hole in the new blade was a tight fit.) But that baby is in now and I dabbed a little gold model paint on the bead and I think it will do. If I am no more than 3 inches high I am good to go. The old one was 8 inches high. I plan to tag along while my friends bow hunt this weekend. If the old girl shoots well enough I will carry it and my bear tag !...tj
