I own a Winchester 92 in 38-40. It's a fun little rifle to shoot. Keep in mind that it's not a 38 caliber bullet, it's 40 caliber. I cast bullets for it and load them over 700 X or Trail Boss, both powders work fine in it. I use it to kill cans but it would work fine as a close range pest/Varmint control gun. I hear it's somewhat popular in cowboy shooting competitions. Whether it's worth it to you or not depends on you, it is a caliber you don't run into every day.
