I just bought a guild gun in 16Ga and 25-35. I have ordered a chamber insert to fire 25ACP in the rifle. It has Talley rings and bases and will have a small scope once its stock issues are addressed. It weighs 6lb, 2 oz and is a great walking-around gun for game up to deer.

Vol, congrats on the new combo gun. I hate to be a pessimist, but I doubt you'll get very good performance from that 25 ACP insert. The bullet is .006 undesize (.251) and they're a pain to take in and out, punching the cases out between shots. I'd just work up some "cat sneeze loads" for the 25/35 using the 60 gr hollow point or a cast bullet & a light load of fast powder. Great for small game & plinking. Should be some posted around the net.
