It is well documented that of all of the sporting arms of this time, the Winchester 1895 was one of Roosevelt’s favorites. From the Dark Continent of Africa, to the plains of the Old West, this .405 Winchester helped Roosevelt forge a unique understanding of all things wild – an understanding and commitment that is arguably the reason why we have, and can enjoy wild places and wild things in the country today. Roosevelt’s legacy left us many things. More important to him than what he drew from his scabbard were the practices of ethical, sportsmen-like conduct, the public’s stewardship over its wild game resources, and conservation policies backed by science. Each of these core values are depicted in this one-of-a-kind commemorative firearm; fair chase hunting as promulgated by Roosevelt and the Boone and Crockett Club; records keeping to raise the level of public awareness about the excellence of trophies; and wise use without waste of our natural resources. Our hunting heritage is strong in this country and nothing stirs the imagination of what it was like “back then” than the look and feel of a true American original sporting arm. The Boone and Crockett Club Theodore Roosevelt Commemorative Firearm is this type of collectible.
