Shrap, There is such a thing as too much truth. Paper frequently provides too much truth, when evaluating fine old classic rifles I prefer luck, legend and large rocks.
Those are some rare fine rifles you have there, glad you are using them.
Good post. I've said the same thing many times. That is why a lot of guys prefer shooting rocks and big steel plates. They don't tell the whole story like a piece of paper does. Hitting big game critters is pretty easy for the most part. Cool pics shrap has shared with us though. Yet, it does not appear to be a carbine. Like I said, they are not easily found. I've seen a few standard length 95's in my time. The one most recently was very nice, but had been reblued, which brings the price point way down. 4g's on something you are not sure about is a pass for me... YMMV..
