I think (hope) I got a glimpse into the future! I have and wear the same hat & coat plus love the "climbing Lyman" equipped 1895s! Hunted mine (a .405) a bit last year but found a I need to replace the front sight with an ivory bead. The bead is missing on mine and I couldn't get a good enough sight picture on the one buck I saw. Congrats on your hunt, rifle and the drive to get out there and enjoy it all.
