Very nice rifle and great price!
 
Thanks Dave. I've owned a couple different calibers of them but this is the nicest I have found.
 
The 38/55 is such a nice round to shoot. Decent ballistics for an 1800's round, lower recoil and accurate. Some one will get a great rifle.
 
Nice rifle and set up.

I have a 38-55 in a Winchester commemorative lever gun.

When was this rifle produced?

It makes a difference as to whether the rifle is meant for black powder only, black powder and smokeless powder, or smokeless powder.
 
9.8 lbs scoped

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
