Have lots of rifles now, and less big game hunting.. still a great problem to have.. No longer do much out of state hunting so only get 6-10 head of big game each year.. Like to hear your posts about the 95’s and other old rifles.. Keep up the good work.. Enjoy and have a great fall.


Thanks, WCH

My 94, 25/35 is a rifle with a bit of history. Belonged to a USDA "tick rider" down on the border for about 40 years ( beginning in 1910) and it has seen the elephant! Allegedly been in at least two gunfights. It looks the part. Got home and got into it and it appears thst the old girl is suffering from headspace issues like all these old 94 can do. Hence the FP issues. Gut enough play to cause issues. So I put her on my wall of fame in the shop! For special occassions.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
