Okay it is fun to shoot, but what do people shoot with them? It seems too little for deer hunting and we can't use rifles for turkey. With an octagon barrel it is kind of heavy. Is it just a unique wall hanger or useful for anything? Back when the M92 was made all the ammunition had corrosive priming so lots of the bores are pitted, this one included.
There have a been a lot of deer butchered on my family's kitchen counter that would be surprised to find out they were not dead enough. My family, from my great grandfather on, have shot countless deer and black bear with the .25-20 along with quite a number of feral cattle. Personally, I've killed a couple of raccoons and 4 black bear with the .25-20, all with the old 60 grain HV HP factory load. Dad's rifle is a Winchester '92. My great grandfather shot a bolt action Savage. I stocked up on WW and Rem brass, 60 grain Hornady and 75 grain Speer bullets in hopes of liberating that rifle from my cuz who inherited. That seems unlikely now but dad still has a rifle to feed. If I ever find a good Low Wall or even Ruger #3 donor I might have one rechambered to .25-20. Easiest would be to start with a .218 Bee.
After you see a deer die from .22 long rifle poisoning, .25-20 doesn't seem so puny after all. Skill ... yes. Finesse ... yes. Care ... yes. But it's not like we shouldn't be trying for all of those anyway.
