Rare 1886 Winchester 45-70

[303carbine]

I just got off the phone with the rep at Winchester, my 1886 carbine 45-70 was one of only 350 made for the Vegas shotshow for 2012.
It has a 20 inch barrel with a full mag, it was accurate with my reloads right out of the box with no sight adjustments.8-)
The 420 grain cast bullets zipped over the chronograph at 1640 fps, I can push them faster, but I'm very happy with the results so far.

That is a rare one, alright. I have a Browning 1886 SRC 45-70 which I am very pleased with. Your Winchester was probably built in the same factory from the same drawings, so it should be a very good little rifle. I wouldn't mind seeing a photo of yours, as I've never seen one.
