For deer?! Be better off dragging out my grandfather's old 38-40, except the barrel is worn out and won't stabilize bullets anymore. Makes interesting noises as they tumble thru the air.


Sounds like my old 38-40. You never knew where the bullets were going to go. I sold it to a collector. I'm a shooter. I need guns that shoot straight.

My 1892, 1910 vintage .38-40. Those actions get pretty slick after a hundred years or so. Been a few WT's killed with the .38-40 over the decades.

Bore is shiny with a few pits. This thing is really accurate, shot tighter groups than my then new .45 Colt Marlin Cowboy.
