I have and love them both. I must say though, my favorite is my OLD (1916) 1895 in 303 Brit. With 215gr Woodleighs, it is devastating on hogs. My other 1895s, both 405 jap versions (plain Jane with a Williams and a period correct pad from Galazan's will hold under 2" @ 100 all day) and the other a TR 1909 Safari, all very accurate. My 71 Sports a Lyman 66 and loves 250gr Barnes originals & Woodleighs as well as the 200gr Hornadys. I plan to work all three this year on hogs again.


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
