Christmas is comming, but I just don't think that I have been that good of a boy. I had no idea that he was a master rifle builder, or did I read that wrong?

Yep.

That's a really sweet rifle.

But ...

... for that price I could move back to the west and put a down payment on a decent home and still have enough left over to buy me a nice big bore Marlin or Uberti, or Browning.

Guess I'm just a party pooper.

where have you been Duff....
not only does he restore them....
but uses them on hunting trips too, as you can see!...
seen him a few time on the outdoor channels
and in the shooting mags too!
I think you should buy it for me!.....I've been good!

I hate to show my ignorance --------- but who is Brad Johnson? The only Brad Johnson I have heard of is the old NFL quarterback.

Very nice rifle, but for the guy who has disposible money as it would be many many years before the buyer can recoup his bucks. I can see maybe 15G's.------------Sixgun

There are two of them at the Bass Pro here in Vegas, the last few times I have been there. Absolutely beautiful 1886's.
I would never buy one, even if I had the money, but I sure enjoy looking at them!

Fascinating rear sight. I wonder if he makes them himself.

Brad Johnson has played in several westerns, including a couple with Tom Selleck. He's also restored a couple of classic hunting rifles for Selleck and himself.
I don't remember the name of the character he played in one role, but it was Bo something, and he had a Remington Keene with a full length scope on it. (I always remember the guns better than the names!)

Beau Dorn - Crossfire Trail with Tom Selleck (among others).

Darn - you'd have to have been a really REALLY good boy to be in the running for that!

Thanks! I remember Bo Dorn.

I have to think of that beautiful rifle, or a new Marlin and ask myself- which will have a dignified patina of age after twenty years of hunting?

Beautiful, but it looks like you have to whip out a slide rule to figure out which rear sight to use...!

Thanks Chad! I'm a fan of Brad's westerns, but I've alsso got a poor memory for movies! (trying to save room for gun info!)
