The elk in the picture are right as rain…..

I’m no 95 expert but that butt plate does not fit the stock and it has fit problems at the receiver. I would say the wood is not original. I also concur that the elk look original.

Yeah about the most original thing in that listing are the Elk!

I also love how the serial number just happen to be in the range which the records were destroyed by a fire!

That same fire must of burnt off the stocks on the gun as well, especially the forearm, and thats why it was replaced with a naturally carved by a beaver piece of wood!

Amazed!

I’m throwing down the BS card. I’m not even going to be polite on this one. It is reblued, and has bogus replacement wood. I’m sure replaced when the gun was poorly reblued. Having owed several real 95’s in high condition, I get tired of these guys passing off second rate junk as real for numbers like 7K, while great guns sit around because the new collectors are chicken to pony up having been burnt by every local yokel gun store with a $500 trade in rifle that they now want 7K for. It’s a junk gun, unless you just want a shooter. Period. Now that is my .02 worth. —I feel better already. TONY

Oh I see know! ……… The 6 head of Elk are included in the auction for about $1100 a head and the rest must be for the boat anchor pictured above them.

Other than peter cottontail, its some of the best tasting meat in the woods!

Maybe he is selling a $7000 Elk hunt and he will throw in the gun for free. What you think?

In fact someone should call him and ask what the hotel arrangements are like and how hard is the Elk hunting this time of year.

Well so are practically are all the ones they shoot on the Outdoor channel, being tucked inside a High Game fence.

They are some ranches not to far from me that got every kind of Elk or "Stag" you can think of, and they charge all kinds of big money to shoot them. There used to be a guy that had some Elk all the way down by Venice, La, but I think Hurricane Gustav finally snatched all them up.

One interesting Tidd Bit that has always intrigued me. Before the 1700s, or right around when the French settled Louisiana (or any other white man for that matter), Wild Elk used to range throughout it. Hard to think of Elk ranging in Louisiana now these days, but there are talks of reintroducing them here.

Sincerely,
