I do not need it. I cannot even come close to any reason to justify buying it.
Ammo is, well I'll put it like this, it is easier for me to find .375 flanged Nitro Express 2 1/2 or 6.5 Rem Mag loaded ammo and brass :lol:
But the price is decent, the condition is excellent, it is a 1964 model year and it sure is mighty nice to look at and hold.
Oh woe is me :lol:

I own two Winchesters in 225
Ammo is not THAT hard to find
Brass is out there also if you reload
225 is WAY cooler than the comparable 22-250
When shooting prairie dogs it is much easier on the shoulder than the 375 flanged

Will, I must say, I never regretted buying a gun. I still have regrets on some I sold. Soldier on brother, You'll be okay!

Well the .225 is going to have to wait.
My oldest child just passed her Hunter Safety Course today.
So we will celebrate by getting her a bolt action center fire rifle (her first).
I am a very proud Papa

Awesome...

I remember the pride my daughter had when she could finally join me on the hunt...seems like a 100 years ago now ( she was 10... now 26 ).
