N E 450 No2Shot the 405 1895
I sighted in the 405 at 58 yards [a convient distance to shoot at the deer lease] last weekend.
Then I took it on a walk "plinking".
I fired about 30 rounds while walking in the woods. I did not want to shoot any pigs as it was just too hot to fool with them.
However I really like the 1895.
It handles very nice. Shoots good too. Next time I will check it at 100 and eventually 150 and 200 yards. Just to know its and my limitations.
I also have some 300 gr North Fork Softs that I plan to load up for my Sept Idaho elk hunt.

dz86I have one of the recent Winchester made in Japan models, and I love it.
My son takes delight in watching me bust watermelons and waterjugs with it!
