I have had this rifle since last fall .38 55 made in 1896. 26 inch barrel. Beaches front sight and an original tang mounted peep. The original rear barrel sight was removed at some time. The bore is like new.. This is the first 10 shots out of the barrel, 250grain bullet and 48grains of KIK. TWO GROUPS HERE, THE UPPER RIGHT were the first five, then I made a slight adjustment to the peep and shot the lower five. All off handat 50 yards. After this target I shot another20 round massacreing silly wets at 50 yards. Even hit one on edge!
