I mentioned that it came with some Peters 100 gr. corelokt round nose ammo that the seller said shoots 1 1/4" groups in the rifle. If I'm not buried in honey dew's tomorrow I'll take it to the range and see if I can get 1 1/4" groups. After buying that 1895 I'd better be saying "yes dear" to all of her requests. The rifle has an E LBC, great looking bore, nice case, nice blueing on the receiver, great wood and a reblued barrel that the markings were polished until they are barely readable. At least the price was right. It had some high rings which I replaced with low rings and mounted a VariX 3x9. It is a Chicopee barrel. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never. For a copy of my book on engraved Savage lever actions rifles send a check for $80 to; David Royal, p.o. box 1271, Pinedale, Wy., 82941. I will sign and inscribe the book for you. [email protected]

Some 87g hot cores, 36 g Rl15, would shoot 2 o 3 shots under an inch and then throw one out 3". The scope wouldn't adjust for windage so will have to mount another scope and try some other hot core loads. David wyo1895 With Savage never say never.

But, my hunting buddy inherited about 1000, 100 gr C/L's, so I won't be changing any time soon. I'm not greedy, I just want one of each. Remember Ira Hayes JoeMartin
