Cimarron Firearms CA885 1885 High .38-55 Win 30" 1-Round Walnut Stock Rifle

The Cimarron Firearms CA885 1885 High Wall .38-55 Win 30" rifle represents a time-tested single-shot platform favored by long-range hunters, competitive shooters, and firearms collectors seeking authentic period engineering. This walnut-stocked rifle delivers the accuracy and reliability demanded by shooters who value precision over capacity, making it ideal for handloaders and enthusiasts who appreciate the deliberate pace of single-shot shooting. Built on the proven 1885 High Wall action, this rifle honors a design lineage spanning over a century while meeting modern standards for fit and function.

The .38-55 Winchester cartridge, paired with a 30-inch barrel, generates sufficient velocity and energy for medium to large game at practical hunting ranges while maintaining manageable recoil that facilitates follow-up shots and shot placement discipline. The 1885 High Wall action features a dropping block mechanism that provides superior strength and rigidity compared to lever actions, translating to tighter tolerances and inherent accuracy advantages. At 12.25 pounds, the rifle balances meaningfully enough for steady field shooting while remaining portable across varied terrain. The walnut furniture provides both traditional aesthetics and proven durability, while the single-round capacity emphasizes deliberate marksmanship and forces intentional trigger control.

Shooters dedicated to hand-loading ammunition find the .38-55 Winchester particularly rewarding, as the cartridge's modest pressure curve and wide handloading data availability enable precision load development without specialized equipment. Law enforcement historical reenactors, competition shooters in single-shot disciplines, and hunters pursuing ethical, one-shot hunting practices benefit most from this rifle's inherent accuracy and mechanical simplicity. The 30-inch barrel length provides superior velocity and sight radius, enhancing accuracy potential at extended ranges typical of varmint and long-range hunting applications. Whether displayed as a collector's piece or deployed in the field, the Cimarron CA885 demands respect for its mechanical integrity and delivers consistent performance across decades of responsible use.
