- 20 rounds of Leverevolution 30-30 to go with the Model 94 I bought earlier in the month. Now, Santa is busy looking at Sling options so that she is ready for next year's deer season.
- Vortex Diamondback HP 2-8 x 32 scope. Santa dictated that I couldn't put it on the Model 94.

Are you going to mount a sling on your Model 94? I am looking for a way to do it without drilling into the wood and open to ideas. (Part of the fun IMHO of owning an old style rifle is looking for solutions)
Good deal Uncle Fester! I've started rolling my own. I use the Hornady Flex Tip 160 grains and 32-33 grains of BLC2 powder. It's a good solid load although I haven't killed anything but paper with it yet. But whatever, it's the same bullet, either store bought or roll your own.
I've heard some didn't like the performance of the Flex Tips so I'm still treading on new ground. If I ever experience an evident failure on their part I will no doubt default to my old stand by 150 grain Core Lokt. But so far the jury's out. However, you know the bottom line, bullet placement rules.

The front sling swivel can be something like this:

For the rear, you'll need to fabricate a thin metal plate to sandwich between the buttplate and the stock with a small loop for the rear swivel to attach to.

I didn't want anything or I didn't give anything. I'm happy with that. But to those of you who did, more power to you, and enjoy it.
My highlight moment of Christmas has become going to Christmas Eve Mass and enjoying the comrade ship with my fellow church parishioners there after. We always have a good time toghether. Besides very few could give me a gun present I would really appreciate. I know best what I want in that department and I take care of those needs throughout the year. I've been restocking on bullets here lately.
But having said all that, I want to say or say again, Merry belated Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.

Dropping the knife might help in that endeavor.

Negative. You're upset someone's feet other than your own are in a picture.
No I don't plan to put a sling on it, but if I were I would go the route Teach suggested. BTW, my rifle shoots excellent, tight groups, lovin' it.
so my wife bought me this
along with some tools and also bought me this
and the good Lord gave us this, a white Christmas
