My grandfather had one. It ended up going to one of the cousins but I never heard where it ended up. He was quite partial to it and shot a lot of hawks and owls with it in addition to a host of skunks and raccoons. Back in his day there was no restriction on such things. He raised fancy chickens and was very protective of them. He also pressed it into service more than once on red fox. He spoke highly of it. He mentioned using it several times when butchering pigs and steers. Seemed to work fine in that application.
He was still alive when I got my first rifle, a Savage bolt 22 Magnum. After seeing it in action on a few woodchucks he thought it was a pretty close match for the 25. He's the only person I ever knew that had a 25 Rimfire and I always wished I had gotten it. None of the other cousins were much for guns but he had passed it on to one of them before I was old enough to be considered for it.
