Key Features

• Classic .38-55 Winchester Chambering – This cartridge has been a favorite among lever-action shooters for over a century. Why it matters: It delivers a flat trajectory and solid energy on deer-sized game, with mild recoil that makes it ideal for new shooters and seasoned hunters alike.
• 20-Inch Round Blued Barrel – A versatile length that balances maneuverability in the brush with accuracy at moderate ranges. Why it matters: You get a rifle that handles quickly in tight spots but still holds a steady sight picture out to 150 yards or more.
• Checkered Walnut Pistol-Grip Stock – The pistol grip improves control and the checkering gives you a secure hold, even in wet or gloved hands. Why it matters: That extra grip means you stay on target for follow-up shots, and the walnut looks good doing it.
• Adjustable Iron Sights with Optic Provisions – The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope mount. Why it matters: You can run it as-is for quick shooting or add a low-power scope for precision without gunsmithing.
• 6-Round Tubular Magazine – A classic tube feed that keeps the profile slim and reliable. Why it matters: No awkward box magazines to fumble with, and the spring-fed design feeds .38-55 rounds smoothly every time.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Smooth action out of the box, excellent fit and finish for the price, and the .38-55 cartridge is a pleasure to shoot—accurate and mild on the shoulder.
