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

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
