I have a 94 Limited Edition (1 of 250) 16 in barrel in 45 and I am really in love with it. It's lightweight, very accurate, quick to point and I can reload the 45 to every need possible; from paper to mule deer, Javalina, feral Pig to heavy 350 grain Elk loads. Even with my 65 year old eyes I can use Skinner peep sights or I now have a short little 2-7 X scope on it. It's a great all around carbine size rifle. I also have a Win 94 in 45 with 20" barrel and it's not as smooth and pointable. Also a 1895 Guide Gun 45-70 with the original ported muzzle for pure elk hunting. I reload for them all.
