Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Cowboy Action Shooting .25-20 Winchester, Anyone shoot it?

Yeah, Telly, back about 25 years ago I got one of the #3s that some guy had bought, fired 10 rounds, and sold off cheap. You guessed it, a .45-70....OWWW!

I'd fired one before, so I had it relined to .25-20 and found it a great small game gun too. Lost it in the 1980s recession, just like lots of guys are losing great guns now....selling off your guns to pay the essentials SUCKS, but when you have a family, you do what you have to. At least I've always been able to hang onto my "family guns"!

I handled a Ruger #3 that had been rebarreled to .25-20
several years ago. It had also been restocked with a nice
piece of walnut, and had a running fox engraved on it.
Cant remember where I saw it at though, pretty sure it was
a gunshow.
