Model 53 at work - 03/29/19
Once upon a time ....... A gunwriter stated that "the 25-20 was a caliber everybody needs, they just don't know it". Here are some photos of some pigs at school.

Seems like proper Texas work to me. 
A never ending battle with the swine. You probably saved a fawn right there. Or a clutch of turkey eggs.
Pigs destroy everything. Fine work Sir...

I shot my last deer with a Marlin 1894CL in 25-20

Good deal John!

I shot my second deer with a Win '92 SRC in .25-20. In 1952. I shot my first deer with a Win Model 37 .410 slug in 1951. Still have both guns, although a lot of others have come and gone.
Full disclosure: these were both little blacktail "meat bucks" shot from my Mom's hayloft while eating windfall apples. Range was about 25-30 yards, if that. But they didn't go anywhere except into the freezer....
