Yeah, I'm a BAAADDDD boy! It's always fun helping someone spend THEIR money!! I can tell that we are probably going to be swapping load recipes for our new rifles! Congrats on the new rifle! It's always fun to get a new toy to play with. Cheers! -Bob F.

I hope this isn't out of line, but thought some might be interested in more .405 photo's. Not out of line at all, IMHO! Besides, Osa shot an 1895 in .405 Winchester so I think your pics are right in line with the theme of this thread. I always enjoy seeing photos of Model 1895s in use; especially ones in .405 Winchester! Geee... I guess a .405 will actually take game after all! Who'd uh thunk it?! BTW, I like Tyler's taste in hats! Gotta admire that gal for shooting all of those rifles. She has grit and spunk! Thanks for sharing the photos! Cheers! -Bob F.

Very cool...can you put a larger photo of the receiver? Curious about what it is.
Thanks...

muledeer, I know your question was directed to jorge but I thought I would try to help him out a little. Here's the best I could do by enlarging the pic that jorge posted: Not the best pic but at least it gives an idea of what's on the receiver. I'm sure jorge will be more than happy to take some photos of his new rifle, and share them with us, once he receives it! Cheers! -Bob F.

Alright, now you have to bring it up so we can wring it out at the range. Nice work!!!

Well not so fast. I took the rifle out of the box and it's the wromg friggin' gun. It's the TR 150th Anniversary and not the African 100th Anniversary. Don't know if I'm going to keep it or send it back. Gorgeous rifle though.

Don't know if I'm going to keep it or send it back. Gorgeous rifle though. Uh oh.... Well shoot! Here's a couple of photos of the Winchester Model 1895 High Grade .405 Win TR 150th Anniversary model: Photos from: http://www.gunsinternational.com/Winchester-Model-1895-High-Grade-405-Win.cfm?gun_id=100096064And for comparison, here's a couple of photos of the Winchester Model 1895 High Grade .405 Win TR Safari Commemorative model: Photos from: http://www.gunsinternational.com/Wi...-Grade-405-Win-New-.cfm?gun_id=100114101Personally, I think they are both very nice. Frankly, I think I prefer the looks of the first one (the TR 150th Anniversary model). -Bob F.

You guys aren't gonna shoot those rifles are you? Those are just for admiring.
