I inherited my grandfathers Model 25 in 25-20. His was drilled and tapped since I can remember. It sat in his gun cabinet for 30 years till he died. I really think I was the last person to fire it prior to his death. I put a new scope on it took it to the range and after getting somewhat used to the 20 pound (it seems)trigger pull, it shot amazingly well for a gun last made in 1939. I proceeded to kill lots of groundhogs with it last summer. I wouldn't think twice about hunting deer back east with it, provided I again upgraded the scope. For the ranges I encountered back there, it would be perfect. P.S. He also had a 141 in .32 Remington. Oh yeah and as for Amish Assault Rifles, that's a no go, they don't use firearms but do use bows and crossbows!
