I've got a early 1895 long barrel JM. I've had it 40 some years and had reciever sight on it.
Shoots outstanding. I got excited when Ohio got rifle deer season and put a scope on it.
Shot excellent , would clover leaf at 100yds of bench. 1st morning of season when I got in
woods I realized I didn't like scope or need it. Since Lyman 66 is back on it. My deer are in
thick cover and most taken on the run, at 100yds or under. Scope feels bulky and top heavy to me. They might be ok for stand hunting but not needed in the woods. I like the reciever sight because I have witness plate O for 100yds and marked for longer ranges. I can jack
sight for long shot and crank back to 0. I haven't cranked sight while hunting but it works
perfect on steel silos at known ranges,
