I have wanted a lever gun in 38-55 or 375 for a fair bit. Ran across this one just by chance. It is new unfired. No box though. I am having a tough time shooting it, but with no box....... it is no collector.
I decided quite a few years back I would never own another gun that was to be looked at and not shot, if I kept it.
I would swap it for a Marlin cowboy in 38-55 if the chance came by.
As a good freind of mine and a member here says, "life is to short to shoot an ugly gun".
I think if I shoot it and the colors on it I would have to get one of those "gangsta" type grills to step onto the firing line with it,lol.
Any input from you gents? I heard the Winchesters liked a larger close to .380 boolit? Any truth to that?
Ken, long time since we have spoke, that needs to change. I hope your ears were burning a couple of weeks ago when I picked this up,lol. Ya have created a monster of sorts. Swore I would never cast for anything smaller than a 30 caliber, then the Swede arrived. Never had a liking for a 45ACP in an auto, then a Kimber. Pretty much swore off of the 94's and now this,lol
