Ya, I don't care what these Browning guys say. I LOVE MY 1886 WIN EL. :P :P :P

I love my USRAC 1886 Delux takedown. I would like an EL as well, but my 1886 does all I want it to. I would really liketo get a 95 in .30-06.

I have both Browning and Winchester's. I think the Winchester looks better(old school) The browning has no safety thing. Take the browning and put the winchester wood on it, :roll: Heck just shoot the stuff out of them. They are both THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

No, I didn't see one but I remember when the issue came out, and still have it as a matter of fact- and it was I believe 2001.

I'm kind of with Pathfinder09 here. If I want Light, that's what the 92 is for...

OTOH, it would be pretty cool to get a shorty EL front end for my TD... just for grins.
