Our friends at Williams have blasphemed at huge number of classic Winchesters over the years. I have that same scope and mount that came off a Model 71. The forearm on that rifle looks fairly unique also.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Love to have that one Bob! Carved by Charley Russell with a pocket knife by campfire light!!! He has always been one of my favorite artists. Along with Fredrick Remington, of course.

After all,,,, You gotta drill at least one hole to put on a Lyman 21.

Steelhead, Do you mean safe queen rifles like my unfired Miroku/Winchester 1895 .405 Deluxe ?
The Deluxe was my first 1895 and was purchased from a collector because it was sooo pretty. Then, I fired an 1895 .405 of a friend and was so pleasantly surprised that I searched for and found my shooter. It is a Standard 1895 .405 has seen lots of use in load development and hunting,
My looker will stay as is until some 1895 .405 enthusiast ponies up the $$ or I pass it on to my son or grandson in my will.

Yeah, like that. A gun that ain't used is a stick. I'd much rather see a rifle with holes drilled in it for a scope so the older owner can still hunt with it than a masturbation piece.
