Heading to the Petting Zoo either tomorrow or Wednesday. If the occasion permits, I plan to ruin the collector value of this un-fired High Grade Browning 1895, chambered for the 30-40 Krag....... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/dJ9mMF32/Screen-Shot-2024-04-21-at-9-01-33-PM.png) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Ypn69x1j/Screen-Shot-2024-04-21-at-9-01-46-PM.png) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/X3vSGNdP/Screen-Shot-2024-04-21-at-9-01-11-PM.png) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XjDXLWN0/Screen-Shot-2024-04-22-at-8-30-04-AM.png) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/fwQBxCFL/Screen-Shot-2024-04-21-at-9-00-39-PM.png) ya!

My hat is off to you GW for taking the porkers with style! Been wanting to run across an affordable 1895.

Nice lines of that one. Good luck with it. I would have to be pretty close to use open sights though.

That's a deer and mountain lion gun, not a pig gun. Says so right on the sides. Pigs will probably laugh at you.

There is nothing more fun than ruining the collector value on a hunting gun. Enjoy

Good plan! Safe queens suck…..
Don't speculate when you don't know, and don't second guess when you do.

I actually like light handling marks on a rifle. I refinished a few stocks and left a few marks before re finishing. It gives character. Most of you guys don’t know that guitars have been available made to look old for quite some time.

Most of you guys don’t know that guitars have been available made to look old for quite some time. I like light handling marks on a rifle too! Most of the rifles I like are way outside my budget in mint condition. But when I find one with some ordinary field wear, it's often "worth" half (or even less) what it would be mint. And rifles are meant to be used (but not abused). That is a very pretty rifle.

Good luck, though I suspect luck won’t have much to do with the outcome…..

I have the plain grade version of that I bought new in 1985. I put a Williams peep on it when I got it. So far have not found a hog that a 180gr. RN Sierra won't go through. it also worked fine on my first (and so far only) bear.

RIO7 Good stuff!

Geb: I have the Teddy Roosevelt 1909 Safari in 405, looks a lot like yours.
