No Lowell, I am not a Weatherby man. Do most all my mammal hunting with flintlocks now so I understand the stalk thing pretty well. I've been evolving backwards in time with regard to firearm types. I just don't think the .25-20 is humane on anything larger than about a 10 lb woodchuck - which I used a .25-20 to shoot regularly about 45 years ago. It is a fun little cartridge but definely inferior to a .22 Hornet and maybe the modern .22 rimfire magnum.
