Neat old rifles!
Excellent service you eeked out of those two long guns. Is the 1895 a Marlin? I don't know the history of lever guns as much as I do bolt rifles, but I do have a modern Marlin 1895, but that doesn't look like what I have. Did you happen to load Blackpowder for the 50 caliber, by any chance? Either way, that is fine history you were sporting in the field to collect the meat. Thank you for sharing with us.
Good to see you're still at it Shrap. Sorry to say that the only rifle I've got in that age range is my old Marlin '94 25-20. It gets a strict diet of cast at moderate speeds, but the bunny population here is on the bottom of the cycle so it's been living on backyard gongs. A newer rifle, 1979 Marlin 336 that was rebored by JES to 38-55 did put a doe in the freezer this year. Accurate 38-250B over 21-4198 took out the far shoulder joint and kept flying. The doe didn't
Nice old rifles and good shooting with them ! Guess you didn't hunt them from a tree stand by the looks of that land in your pictures there ain no trees ! this eastern woods hunter would be completely out of my element in terrain like that . about what range did you shoot them deer ?
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
That is fantastic. Been since the late 90's since I've had the privilege of enjoying Bozeman, or any of Montana for that matter. Love that country tremendously. Since a brother, and until recently a son, inhabit Colorado my western foray's have concentrated there. Still beautiful landscape, but not the same as Wyoming or Montana, in my mind. Thank you for the history lesson on the Winchester 1895. Didn't Teddy Roosevelt take one of those to Africa in 405? I believe WM Bell thought little of the 405 as a lion cartridge, whilst Theodore made good use of it on his safari.
The 38-72 is a neat old round. I chambered a NEF 38-55 to that caliber. Quite surprising what that thing would do, as far as performance. Made my rounds out of 405 brass trimmed. The reamer was cut for the 405 rim.
@ shrapnel, I to have had the privilege to shoot a 95 in 38-72. A late friend of mine had one that was passed down from his Dad. We shot 18 gr of 4759 under a 250 gr Lyman design. It was a privilege to be able to pop primers with it. The brass we were using was reformed 405 brass also.

OK, it's official, I'm jealous.
I saw a 95 in 35 Winchester a few years ago at a small sporting goods store in Burns, Oregon. I thought it was a common steel model 95 but apparently I was mistaken, it had to have been solid gold according to the price. Maybe some day I'll find another model 95 in some wonderful old caliber like 38-72 Winchester.
BIG OR SMALL I LIKE THEM ALL, 577 TO 22 HORNET.
