I picked up this model 94 Winchester to shoot lead bullets but I wanted a scope mounted center line. I had this XS scout mount and a Bushnell Holosight so I thought I would give it a try. It shoots remarkably well.

I also have a 375 Winchester XTR Big Bore and I am trying a Williams receiver sight but I am really having to crank it up in the air to get on target. I could not get the factory sight on at 100 yards so I am thinking the front sight needs to be lower. I have not been able to find a factory style one that is shorter. The fire sights come in different heights, I may have to go to one of those.

Can you take the front sight off the 30-30 and use it on the 375. It looks shorter in the picture. That holosight looks horrible on the 30-30. Other than that, I love your Winchesters!

Great Idea on the FS, hadn't thought of that. As to the Holosight, I am just using it to test the mount. So far I think it works great without the recommended epoxy bedding that XS recommends. I plan to replace the Holosight with a real compact scout scope as soon as I can. I guess this makes me a high tech redneck according to a friend I shot with the other day.

No luck on the sight problem, both fronts are .275 from the base. Oh, well, back to the drawing board.
