Because they do not have the collector value that 97s and 12s have, making them more affordable for shooters. It hurts less to cut the barrel on a 25 than a 12 of comparable condition.
The Winchester 25 is simply the Model 12 without the take down feature. Do you think this would be allowed or would the Rules Committee need to adopt this?
Well picked up a William's receiver sight for the Savage. Holes match up in the receiver, so tomorrow I'm going to mount it on the rifle, even though it's still on layaway! Pics once mounted.
