No, it is a 78 seventy eight. It is an econo version of the 700 ADL. I got mine at Wally World. Remington made and sold them in the late 80's.

Closest recorded range Chrony kill (3 feet with witnesses)
45 Cole, Frank Haas wrote several books on single shots and building your own single shots. I fool around with Winchester 94's which are falling block repeaters ( sorta). I have often wondered if a 94 could be turned into a decent single shot with some files and a hack saw etc. I just bought a pre safety post 64 94 from a pawn shop for $245.

I really like the length and weight of the 1885. I'm 6'6" and I have a long neck, so I like larger guns. Plus, I don't mind spending 900-1500 on the entire project, so I might as well go for something good.
My M94 Big Bores will handle .307 and .356 loaded in rimless cases and long as the COL is kept correct.

That's what I'm thinking if I do a .356 - if i get into a bind, I could use .358's if the rifle headspaces on the shoulder. I called Winchester and they will fill all backorders sometime in March, so I'll prob order 400 some pieces. Trade a few down the road.
