Really nice. I've always liked the '85. I'd like to have one in 45-70 or 45-90.

Please to post a photo of the 50-90 cartridge next to something like a 30-30 for reference.

That is a gorgeous rifle. As Griff says, details, please, we need details.

Gorgeous gun! An original 1885 in some big bore cartridge would be something that I'd have a hard time resisting if I ever came across one for a reasonable price. A modern one is the next best thing and you've picked a great cartridge.

It is one of the new ltd. production Winchesters. I think they made 125 of them. It weighs around 11 1/2 pounds and the barrel is 30" long. The fit and finish is great. I would say almost as good as my Shiloh Sharps.
