Winchester 1885 Hunter .243 Win. Had to order scope base and rings so it will be a bit before I shoot it.

Nice. Do they still call that a hi-wall?

Nice rifle.
I thought about getting one also in 243.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Very nice looking gun. I don't really like the straight grip stock but nice all the same.

Very nice. I'm a big fan of the Browning B78's, the same basic design but w/o the hammer block and with a different trigger assy. They were made from 1973 to 1982. Mine are fine shooters. I find the design quite beautiful and they are easy to carry when on the hunt due to the slim stock profile at the balance point. My guess is you will be very pleased.

John Browning’s first design. The Browning family sold the mfg rights to Winchester. The Browning family used the $8,000
to build their first factory in Utah. Interesting bit of history behind that rifle.
Congratulations, may it always find it’s mark for you.

Real classic. You can also get it in a short 'trapper' model in 30/40 Krag.
