That is a snazzy WSM! Good looking rifle you got there.

Great wood on that one. I like single shots and the 1885 is the best looking one of the bunch I think.

Nice rifle. Looks like you decided that you needed it.

"NEED" is a four letter word among most of this crowd Nice rifle. I think I'd have bitten on that one too.

That's probably the best wood I have seen on any of the "Winchester" 1885's. The Brownings were usually better.
Congrats!

More often than not, there is no clear distinction between "need" and "want"....

The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Congrats! Yeah, I saw another .325 at Cabelas a few weeks after I got this one and it was very plain. I haven't gotten around to shooting it yet but hope to get some glass on it soon.

You don't "need" to "need" a rifle to buy it!
