This week, we're taking a look at the Winchester Model 1895 125th Anniversary Edition. A lever-action chambered in Teddy Roosevelt's favorite caliber, .405 Winchester, the rifle is a beautiful specimen, with hand-chased engravings on both sides. Were it not such a pretty piece, it would almost make it a great truck rack gun. As it stands however, one would hate to see it scratched. For more information on this classic rifle chambered in a hard-hitting round ideal for bear or hogs, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Editor-in-Chief Scott Olmsted, and Digital Associate Editor David Herman.
