Re: The 25 Calibers
Have had a couple of model 92s in 25-20. First one had bad bore and didn't shoot well at all, the one I have now has excellent bore and shoots great and is loads of fun. However brass isn't easy to come by so that slows shooting down a bit. Also have model 94 in 25-35. Very pleasant to shoot and bra...

Being self taught on these electronic devices I figured out that the do-hicky wasn't connected to the what-you-call it and that caused the thingamig not to engage properly. Thumping it on the side doesn't help but sure does make me feel like I have some control.

He also had a good box of cartridges that were 250 grains. I'm not up on current prices but think it was a very fair price. Will look a...
