Actually, it's the .30-06. I thought only Winchester made the '95 in .405 (at least in the recent production rifles). I know Browning came out with them in .30 Krag and a few others. Like I say--it was an impulse purchase and I've learned most of what I know about them in the last 10 days.

I bought the rifle with the intention of converting it to .338-06 or .35 Whelen And have since heard differing opinions as to whether it would be safe. I found this cool site and viewed abunch of old posts and found a link to Z-Hat Custom Rifles. Apparently the smiths at Z-Hat think it's OK and do quite a few of these.

Now it looks like I'll be into the gun for a few $$$ and still not sure if I even want it--LOL! There must be some kind of meds to fix what I got.
