My sole experience was with a vierling that I picked up in Germany. The two rifle barrels were 22 l.r. and 8x57R. It took a while to find a 22 l.r. cartridge that was accurate, and a lot of...

"The 38-55 was originally a Ballard round from 1884 - that is 10 years before the 1894 Win but right on the time line for the Winchester single shot."
And 78 years before the 375 Winchester. ...

Dusty, your experience apparently isn't unusual. For some reason, there appears to be more variance in 38-55 bore than in other calibers. Not only is it true on modern rifles, but my readings show...

Thanks Tatume. Here's a photo from the website.
Clay, my neighbor uses Rel 7, as well as some others. Because of the short barrel (16.5") in mine, I'm thinking a quicker powder.....he's...

On the Browning .22 Hornet thread, I mention all the Browning low walls I've owned (22 Hornet, .223, 243 Rem, 260 Rem, .357 Mag). These were all purchased in the '90s, I've sold all but the Hornet &...

I've owned almost every low wall Browning produced. I believe my first was in .223 in 1994 (the others were .243, .260, 22 Hornet & .357 Mag ("traditional"). Anyway, I've sold them all, but can't...

thanks to everyone....I have it now and my goodness....it's a tidy little package. Glad I didn't order it in 45-70.

Don't have it yet....but here's a photo. I'm pretty excited, especially re: the leaf sight which flips up to be a target sight.

I'm the new owner of a Winchester (Miroku) Trapper in 38-55. It has a 16.5" barrel and weighs less than 7 lbs. (and has a curved steel buttplate!). Winchester tells me that the barrel has .379"...
Totally irrelevant to the OP, which is a complaint about a company that had the audacity to meet the market's perceived need. Now, despite the OP not creating nor fabricating nor marketing...

A Winchester Mdl 37 (12 gauge) that I bought from a neighbor for $10, then using my lawn-mowing money, sent away to Stoeger's for a Savage Mdl 24 22/.410 (yeah, it counts as a single shot). Cost me...

Little over a hundred years ago, John Browning got into a tiff with Winchester, and took his Auto-5 design to FN Herstal, in Belgium. Didn't seem to affect Auto-5 sales too much, nor were there...

go over to the Marlin forums and ask yourself if you really want to buy a new Marlin....or "Remlin," as they say.

have no quarrel at all with all the previous advice. My experience with my '94 (a 1970 production year, i.e., mystery metal receiver) is that when I tried to neck-size only, there was just enough...

I own a Browning low wall in 22 Hornet, shoot several hundred rounds/month (at least when the sage rats are out). I've got some brass that's been loaded over 10 times and still good. I use mostly...

I had one for several years, in 22 LR (Birmingham). The lack of a safety always bothered me, sold it at a decent profit.
If you want an "American" version, get a low wall in .357.
