CJ, I have a pistol grip stock and big loop lever assembly on the shelf, but am not sure if I will convert. I thought I would, but the straight grip is kinda growing on me.

Congrats on the 10 point! any pics? I bought a guide gun a few months back. Great gun, killed a nice 10 pt two weeks ago. Here you go, split brow time with one broken and another kicker you can't see ![[Linked Image]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/splucinski/E69B600D-7A22-41AB-B36E-22359B4347C3.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/splucinski/F72D852E-1FEF-442E-A618-810FCCA89F33.jpg)

Trail cam pics of the same deer. By the way, I'm using a 350 grain Hornady Interlock flat nose over 47 grains of Reloder 7 powder. Accuracy is amazing. ![[Linked Image]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/splucinski/4E267172-9A8A-471A-8349-EC6A0A2660AD.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg157/splucinski/014A6C87-ABBA-49E4-A31E-BE4AC9AC26D8.jpg)

mine is the 16" trapper version and I'll be keeping this one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/Mobile%20Uploads/20160607_195834_zpsyumhvohl.jpg) I have had a hankering for a big bore... This thing looks fantastic..

My 1895 shoots Hornady Leverevolution factory and any flat based 400 gr bullet handload well. For pleasant shooting, try a "factory equivalent" load (from my 1967 Lyman manual) of a 400 grain bullet and 38.5gr IMR3031. For modern lever gun loads, mine likes Reloader 7 and Ramshot Exterminator powders. Buffalo Bore is accurate, but after 3 or so shots, I flinch in practice shooting. If a bear was involved, I doubt I'd feel any recoil.

Several of the 1895's have come and gone for me. stainless SBL SS 22inch brl. from the 1980's and my ported GG strait grip which I am keeping. To each his own. It is a short handy hammer and easily carried in my daily driver, or on an atv. Just my choice. Erich
At some point my hobbies became my life.

Does anyone here know if the GBL recoil pad will fit the GG stock?

Just get a GBL... Wouldn't mind doing this to my straight stocked 1895.
The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Anyone have the stainless SBL version? How does it compare with the GBL?

What for scope is that on your 1895? Leupold 2-7x33mm? If so, how do you like it? Thinking on putting one on my 1895.
