What would be a better buy in 38-55 for quality and accuracy? NIB Winchester Legendary Frontiersman or new Japan made 1894?

Lots of people collected that Fontiersman edition and can find new about 800. I would shoot it, think made in 1979 so not angled but no crossbar safety and strong enough for heavy loads.

Japan one would be about 1,000 but adds features mentioned above.

Well...came across a deal I couldn't pass up on a new Trails End Takedown in 450. Think they had it priced at the non takedown price as it was only 1,000 bucks.

I wanted a Winchester as I have had marlins and Henrys so will be near to see how it compares.

Those look nice. I like how they have a 6 round magazine.
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

Now it's time for dies, brass, and bullets. Probably skip the lever evolution and load up 350 interlocks...maybe some 405s down the road.

Make sure your ear protection is up to snuff 'cause these things are REALLY loud with a ported barrel.  Good luck with your purchase, nice looking rifle.

😂. That's why I just purchased a lead sled. Partially torn rotator cuff doesn't care for recoil any more. Hunting is one thing the bench another.

Good looking piece!
When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.
