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.
 
It’s built for modern smokeless loads.
 
9.8 lbs scoped

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
