It sure is nice to walk down range and the target comes into focus and you see a nice tight group from the 100 year old rifle you just tested, isn't it?! (Or did you use a spotting scope?!  :D) Sounds like this rifle has a high level of accuracy!

I don't think I've ever met anyone that actually fires a US Winchester '95 lever action musket-this is quite profound-outstanding news Colonel and do keep us posted on your progress with this fine rifle! ;D

I walk.  I need the exercise!  Just another reason for you to come to the Muster, Charles!

Sounds like it shoots better than the Russian musket someone has over on Surplusrifleforum-2 guys both tried it at 100 yards, still unknown where the bullets went. Wasn't the shooters, apparently, they also posted some sub 2in groups from a semi auto BAR>

The last Russian Winchester '95 I saw didn't have any room left for more dents!

Yes, I do want to shot with you fine fellows again!

Exercise? I'm Jarhead! We like it so much, we sing when we exercise, and we don't need no steenking spotting scope either! ;D

We'd love to have you!
I think you'd be really pleasantly surprised by the change in format! I haven't met anybody who doesn't love it.

Yes-it looks like you all have done some great things with the various shooting events. The GAF is constantly evolving!
