My Model 1895 (pre safety) 45-70 is a very well made and accurate strong lever gun.

I once owned Zane Grey's Model 95 Take Down in .30-'06. Wish I still had that too. Had a Model 94 that had a very low serial number and as I shoot vs collect I traded it for a Jeep .

I had an 1876 Saddle Ring Carbine with the serial number of 76! .45-90 if I recall correctly. Heavy. Sold it for about five grand twenty-five years ago. Also had an extremely rare 1886 Saddle Ring Carbine in .45-70. Looked almost brand new. There were fewer than 100 of those made.

Rare indeed.....never even heard of a 1895 in 06....wow !

Like I said I shoot em and short of firearms handed down from friends and or relatives I don't collect. My one collector grade firearm is a mint NIB ASP with all the accessories that was issued to one of my troops . He didn't like it, I took it !........:o)
