In case you're not familiar with the 25-25 Stevens caliber, here is a case next to a 45-70.

The only thing I've had as nice as some of these was my Weatherby Mark V Deluxe but I sold it last year.

Wow Mazo,

I always thought the Hepburn's were an ugly over sized beast, that was until I handled one.
They are a true classic, and I must add a very small action. Pictures never do them justice.
I believe Hepburn built the falling block action so it would never have to be removed from the rest to load.

Lever guns are all Uberti 1866 Carbines, top to bottom - .22lr, .38 spcl, 44-40.

The 44-40 '66 carbine for sure; wasn't the other one my 44-40 1873 short rifle?  I've slept since then and don't perzactly recall.
