It is a GREAT rifle and VERY accurate :lol: . I shoot ONLY Black Powder and can shoot 2 inch groups at 100 yards with the factory sight.
The fit and finish are good but once again they are H&R which is to say its not Rolls Royce standards. That said it shoots better than some very expensive 38-55's I've seen. Nice smooth and worth the $$$. For what its worth I paid $350.00 for my Target and $ 325.00 for my Buffalo Classic both new in the box. Try "GunBroker.com" nice range of H&R rifles some new in the box. I bought one and the deal was super, fair and very quick. Let me know if you want some info on shooting the 38-55 with Black Powder. Good Luck, I swear you cannot go wrong.
