Re: Browning 1886 45-70 SRC

Found mine at a gun show about 10 years ago. Still had the manufacturers tag holding the lever shut. Made a reasonable deal, paid for it and cut the tie and cycled the action. The seller almost fainted!!

Shot it on the way home.

Now, I just acquired a 80# bow and it is a bit of a challenge. Superbly accurate so far but will take a little getting used to.
