I know the 95 is sometimes maligned by folks but I love the things. Yes I will attempt to hunt with it. It has some wear and tear, but I bought it to use it. Actually I felt it was a pretty decent price considering what I've seen some 95's go for. This winter I'll make my annual nilgai run to Kenedy county will tote this old beast and see what happens. It's got plenty of scratchin' left in the bore and I've got some ammo ordered for it. Wanna see how she performs before making any big investments in reloading equipment. But I think she'll shoot. If she proves not a shooter, I've contemplated a rebore to 405. Last edited by kaywoodie; 08/06/15. Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

Thanks squirrel! : D The old gun is tight and sound. And amazingly still has some finish is several places. Wished it would have had a Lyman #21 on it, but that's ok. I can still see the sights pretty good on her. Ok. Sometime a long time ago someone stuck some sling swivels on it. I can live with that. Ought to be the cats meow on some big hogs I know about too! They resemble a VW beetle!!! Most of the nilgai I see on the place are always in the oakmotts. Can get pretty thick in some of those spots. Very rarely do the come out into the open on this place. But if you secret yourself along a trail and be real still, it can prove successful!!! This old beast should prove good medicine for a blue bull as it is.

Those next four I was aiming 6:00. Bottom of circle. Oh I did a little sight drifting. Got the windage settled. But when I backed off another 50 yds aiming dead center put em at 12:00 top of the paper. I think I'll get it figgered out ok. Then again it could just be me and my blindness & excitement.

We're thinking that rifle was designed for 250's. So I bet if I can come up with some decent brass we can make it do what we want! I'm thinking this spun and drawn 30/40 Krag brass that the loaded ammo came with is too thin. Looks like we'll try to reform some .405 brass. That might help! I mean I shouldnt be bitchin'. For a blind guy I hit the target every time! Oh and some eventual cast boolit loads ought to be fun as hell! Last edited by kaywoodie; 08/17/15.

The shooting high appears to be a common malady in all the original 95, at least in both of mine (303B). A lighter( faster) bullet will drop POI. Mine has a pinned copper front sight so I tapped it out, made a taller one out of stock and now it prints dead center using my favorite 215gr Woodleighs that incidentally punch through both shoulders of a 200 plus pound hog. Lovely rifle and good luck! A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance.

Once I get some more ammo loaded up, I'm back to the range. Already removed the sling swivels. Thankfully the front swivel was simply screwed into the existing forearm screw hole and bushing. Already replaced the forearm screw. Will plug the hole in buttstock when I can get more glue. Got some 405 brass coming in so case mfg will be in the future.

I found Ken Water's Pet Loads article and data to be most useful though, I even corresponded with Ken regarding loads for the .35 WCF back in the day when he was andwering reader questions with a hand signed letter. I still have several of those letters, one devoted exclusively to M/95 .35 WCF and Kens experiences and loads. I agree regarding the "climbin Lyman" being the sight that would improve the shooting ability with that rifle but like you would not even think of drilling a rifle as nice as yours. The repro sights while not as costly as an original look like a repro and I would not consider putting one on an original rifle, a Browning '95 would be another story.

But I do not believe they made it into mainstream production. The most bizarre 95 I'd ever seen was a takedown model that had been reworked in Germany to some small Vom Hofe cartridge. Like 6mm or something. Came in the shop in a leg of mutton case. Best I remember it was a flat side. And best I remember it was t factory takedown. Solid rib barrel and all. That was over 30 years ago. And I had a gunsmith compadre and hunting buddy that made himself a 6.5 x 55, 95 rifle too! Just on a whim. But I would like to see an example of the one you speak of!
