Been interesting reading through this thread. It appears that I'm not alone in wanting/needing to change it up once in a while. The more I read and look around the more the Winchester 1885 Traditional Hunter in 38-55 seems like what I'm after. In no big hurry and would actually like to see one in person before dropping that kind of $ sight unseen. I have seen the 1885's in modern calibers around so I have a pretty good idea what it would (will?) be like. Fun to ponder anyway.
