Have had a Browning 1895 in '06 since the early 1990's. Same gun, no safety. I set mine up as hunting rifle. Added a barrel band and drilled the butt stock for sling swivels. Changed the front sight to an XS white stripe blade to go with a Marbles tang rear. Would use a Lyman or Williams receiver sight today. Butt plate was slippery so replaced it with a thin rubber plate, not a pad. I could then lever the action from the shoulder very smoothly.
Worked up a handload with a 165gr bullet at 2640fps that would group 5 rounds in 2.25 inches at 200 yds and dropped game like lightening. Have taken several head from 175 to 235yds away, according to the rangefinders.
To this day, it remains one of my two favorite game rifles.
