Inherited a rifle

Recommended Posts

I've got a 92 in 25-20 made in 1910 that I keep thinking would be cool to javi hunt with but I love archery hunting the little buggars so much just haven't. To date have only killed a homer bucket with it at 75yards.  They do shoot well.   Enjoy!

I just doubled checked my serial number,  mine is 1905.  I love old lever actions.  I have 2 1894's in built in 1898, one in 38-55 and one in 25-35. 

Im tempted to use the 38-55 on my coues hunt in unit 32.  The only thing keeping me back is lack of ammo.

Gees, I became old since you first posted the original post. Is that correct??? 2016??? You'll have to bait that coues into 100 yards range to put him down with that 38-55. I had a friend shoot one in head at 250 yards it gave him an oweey! When he woke up he had an egg the size of a grapefruit on his head. And no he wasn't aiming at his head.LOL !!!

Very nice. The best is that your Uncle is here to see the enjoyment you will get from this gift.

Sage advice here too. Pass it on when you are through with it, before you are through.
