I never thought much of the Winchester 1895, as it is kind of bastard child. Lever guns were a thing of the past, but it was still developed for a dying market. Find a nice one in 40-72 and the rules are changed.
I found this one and Mike already had the 405, just right for a comparative article and here it is...
Heavy and ugly.....I find nothing special or alluring about them.
That's exactly how I feel about the much revered Model 70. . Prolly a good thing! As that way those do appreciate the 70 wil continue to conserve them. Us who like the 95 are probably a bit touched!
I am in total agreement with you on the 94! They are the nice woods rifle.
