Just pulled the trigger on a used,1886 Browning 45/70.
Panting with anticipation.

I have one of these rifles and it is such a fun to shoot.

What a sweet rifle. My now deceased next door neighbour used to have one and it was a fine piece of work and a beauty to behold. I just wish that I'd bought it from him back when he was trying to sell it, when he decided to crawl in to a bottle of Evan Williams and pull the cork in and drink himself to death.

Jens,

Which model?

Full rifle with the octagon barrel or the saddle ring carbine?

I have a Saddle ring carbine & it's a ton of fun to shoot, just watch out for the noobs that think it's a 30/30 & want to shoot it!

It's the full octagon.
