I bought this like-new win model 1894 rifle because it was chambered in 38-55. I have dies and brass to reload for this one. Can't remember posting this here if I have posted this one blame it on old age. I really can't make up my mind to shoot this one.
It's so pretty I hate to scratch it up.

That reminds me of the 336 Marlin in .35 rem that was a raffle prize and never fired since 1974. It came my way after the owner passed, he was a pistol shooter that just stuck the rifle in the safe and left it there for 45 years. I haven't decided to shoot it either given I have another like it that I shot many times. My 1894 Winchester 30-30 has been shot and will be shot some more, that .38-55 looks too pretty to shoot, but you probably aren't going to hurt it by putting a few down range so long as you handle it with care.

That is a beautiful rifle!

That is a nice piece.

Very nice

You gotta see if it's a legendary shooter. Tie a blanket around it or something . You could wrap it in that stretchy gauze tape that sticks to itself.
