Design & Performance
The rolling block action is renowned for its simplicity, strength, and reliability. This design has proven itself across more than a century of use, from military service to hunting and target shooting. The .38-55 Winchester is a moderate-power cartridge well-suited to medium game and long-range target work.
The 26" barrel provides excellent velocity and sight radius while maintaining a reasonably handy overall length. The 1:18" twist rate stabilizes period-appropriate bullet weights effectively.
Craftsmanship
