Took my Marlin 1889 28" 32/20 to the range this morning for some fun shooting at 35, 50 & 75 yd steel and some paper targets. First pic is of the gun. It had been refinished before I got it 30 years ago, with no bore to speak of. I had it relined and its a great shooter.
This pic is to give you an idea of what your eye sees using the original sights, the V notch rear and the German silver front reverse ramp. The sight pic is as little of the top of the front sight as you can see as deep into the V notch as you can, covering the intended impact point. At least that's what I do.
These are the two paper targets from the bench @ 50 yd, 10 shots each.
The 35, 50 and 75 yd steels all rang with impacts from the 20 rounds fired. Altogether, a fun morning that was also shared with my Marlin 39A 22LR at the same targets. Later I'll add the load details if anyone is interested.
