I have one of those 1895's resting somewhere in the safe. Purchased several years ago by my late boyfriend Sunvalleyguy. He was so happy to have found one although not in the best of shape. I am lucky enough to have gotten the early releases of the 99F in 243, 308, and 358. Also a take down in 300 with the .410 barrel. My favorite is my 1919 250-300 take down. My prettiest is my 99EG. One day I would like to find a hex barrel, 26" in 30-30 in great condition. The ones I have are in 303, one tired and one reblued. Can't own them all, but sure nice to try.
