Took my 94-XTR (made 1982) to the range on Saturday. I had just purchased it a couple weeks ago at Cabela's and needed to check it out for any problems that they would pay a gunsmith to repair.
I got on paper at both 50 yds and 100 yds. At 50 yds, I had groups near the bottom of the target. At 10 yds, my group was scattered all over the target.
I had a very hard time getting a good sight picture using the original sights (buckhorn rear and hooded front sight). The view was very "fuzzy" I don't intend to install a scope, but would like a crisper sight picture. I need to see where the front sight is.
Has anyone used the Truglo sights on this rifle? Do they work?

Thanks,
Because life is short and we should enjoy it.

Welcome to the Winchester Owners Forum !!
