    Get a repop 1885 38-55 if you really want it to shoot well
    Upgrade to a tang sight and globe front and you have a real shooting / hunting rifle

    I have 3x vintage 38-55s Two are over 140 years old and I'm just doing range work with one of them at the moment and really nice to shoot BP only !
    One is a circa 1910 and I am running that light nitro and it's a work in progress
    And I also have a 375 Win ( 38-55 renamed and run hot for the big bore 94 ) Contender barrel that is run full nitro
