Generous gesture for the Holidays. I am lucky to have a nearby sister and some family visiting after Christmas.... otherwise it's just me. I am sure there is someone who this is a real blessing for.

I wish everyone a fine Holiday season and blessings for your kindness.

I would love to have one in take down version

beautiful rifles. Would be awesome with scout scope mounted on barrel.



anyone know how accurate that would be?

there is a lot of Jeff jamisons

look for film maker in Los Angeles

went to Clemson & Thinderbird

Wow - Handy info as I live right here in LA

you rekon those guys can cut a dovetail if I want to extend the tube on 1895G 45/70 to a full length tube?

not sure I would consider doing it myself - and shipping my gun allover the place just makes it cost twice as much.

thanks

here is a pretty good video of Boar shooting

dead pig everywhere

Good luck on the hunt - are you only after the Buff or anything else too?

expect to see pictures.

Has anyone seen one of these converted to a .454 Casull or .460 S&W; or is that a "Theory".

seems like it would work, but just wondering.

does seem like a fun thing to purchase even if kept as a .45LC.

That is very interesting


having one in .460 or "other" cartridge sounds pretty dang fun and awesome .....

was looking at the website http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/catalog/category.asp?family=022C and just curious - why isn't the takedown trapper offered in 44 mag. seems like it would be very easy to offer it in that - most of the oether versions are offered in several chamberings. Seems like it...

This looks awesome. The $2400.oo covers the air fare & 3 animas right? that also covers the cost of bringing back the skull/horns right? Did I read that right? Does that also cover the cost of bringing back the skins? For example If I were able to go I'd want to have all "European" sty...

I am looking forward to going to a cowboy shoot this weekend.

Hopefully learn a little more too.

hey .45 Colt

thanks for that link

wow what a beaut - I can't spend that much $$$ tho. Dang!!! that is a sweet rifle though.

yeah - I would love to find a reg grade, but it seems like there are more hi grades for sale....

anyone got a reg grade I can take off their hands ?

I really appreciate all the information. It seems like there are more Hi grade 1886 brownings for sale than the standard grade. Does anyone hunt with a Hi grade. If I were to get a Hi grade I would def hunt with it, is that crazy?

I would love to hear some advice on getting a 45-70. I want one to shoot and hunt with. I am interested in a lever gun and like the 1886, as far as I know doing a little research. so basically I think I am interested in the Winchester and Browning should I consider any others? (miroku or something I...

is there a website that tells me when a gun was made based on the serial #?

I think there are only two production runs anyway - but its a Browning 1886 45-70, 1 0f 3000 production.

thanks

Thanks everyone,

got in touch with Joe, $ in the mail.

Best

Jeff

thanks,

I wanted to purchase but can't find the thread now.

Mike,

were you guys using handloads or the Federal premium ammo. ??

glad to hear that detail about the ammo, thanks.

Wow - beautiful country there. And very good for you. congrats again.

Congrats - great read.

would love to hear more about that area. Were you just hunting with friends on public land ??

Sily question but do the Miroku "Winchesters" say Winchester model 1886? Or do they indicate "Miroku" anywhere on the them? and would the serial number start with ES-####? It is darn confusing because it is such a common model number. 1886. Thanks for anyone's comments - also wha...

new in box.?

did they make some in the 1970's?

How do I check the serial # ?

ser # starts with ES

anyone?

Congrats !!!! Very nice !!!!

Thanks, awesome pictures, and info. I get bogged down searching, 1886 brings up lots of guns in diff models, and I know "Browning" designed the old Winchester 1886 too. Just gets confusing, that's why I'm on here trying to learn it up. Thanks I would love to have one of those Brownings. No...

What is the model number for them, year etc.

I would like to spend some time looking for one / searching for one, plus a couple of gun shows coming up.

thanks for any addl info.

Did Browning ever produce a "modern" lever action in 45-70? The single shot 45-70s are beautiful. How do they shoot?

What should a new Marlin 1895 cowboy cost new? Just curious?

Thanks
