Re: Winchester Model 95 in .405 Winchester

Quote:

President Theodore Roosevelt once said "Speak softly and carry a big stick." Coincidentally, one of his favorite rifles was the Winchesterï¿½ Model 1895, chambered for none other than the 405 Winchester cartridge ï¿½ his "Big Medicine."

A popular historical error.

Theodore Roosevelt's "Big Stick" was his .500/.450 Holland & Holland double rifle. Also taken on the same safari.

At least this is what is claimed by his descendants in the documentary hunting movie "In the Blood". A good movie, about a group of Roosevelt enthusiasts and his grand-son and great-grand-son who return to Africa to hunt. A great film for young hunters and non-hunters to understand hunting.

PS Thanks for the photo.

Love the straight stock and also schnabel for-end. And a great pig-killing calibre.

I want one.

Now how can I get the $$$ ?
