A Winchester 1885 High Wall in caliber 38-55

The 1885 High Wall was one of the first really modern rifles that Winchester produced. Courtesy of the Genius from Utah, St John of Browning.
This fine looking rifle is in the Old Classic caliber of 38-55. Which quickly became a leading winner of the growing popularity of long range Target shooting.
I am also willing to bet that this old timer caused more than once some money passing hands because of a bet or two.
