Hunting with a Winchester 1895

[BigUglyMan]

I hunted with an original Winchester model 1895 a few falls ago. It was a 38-72 made in 1905 if I recall correctly. The 27" tapered octagon barrel balanced the rifle such that I carried it immediately forward of the box mag. Got a nice doe at 135 yards, though it was a tough shot in the early morning light and ground fog with the semi-buckhorn iron sights. Here is a photo ...

Seems the Colombian Necktie is popular around lots of parts.

That is one nice shooter.

Not sure if any of you got a chance to watch "the last Alaskans" the father in one of the families uses one and I thought if I get the chance ill pick one up. BTW the show wasn't the typical so called reality garbage and worth checking out.

I watched that show and saw that gun. He's pretty eccentric.
