Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Speaking of rim fires, how about the 25 Stevens?

I wonder what the odds are of there being another person on here that grew up with both a 25 Stevens and a 22 WRF?!
The WRF I used was a Winchester 1895 model pump, and I can still recall the sounds it made when I dropped a round in the tube magazine and it slid down towards the action, and then the sound as you worked the slide back, solid well machined and fitted parts snick- snicking as I prepared to terrorize some poor woodchuck.
If I remember correctly, they made 25 Stevens ammo in both short and long versions, just like 22 ammo.
We might have been poverty stricken and deprived in those days, but I surely, thoroughly enjoyed being poverty stricken and deprived.
