I'm going to look at a newer 1886 Win with a pistol grip next week and I have some questions. It has a tang sight mounted so I assume the safety has been removed. I have read the thread on adding the Browning trigger and hammer but that was done on a straight grip stock. So:
-Will the Browning fix work on an 1886 with a pistol grip?
-What is the twist rate of the barrel as I'd like to shoot the rifle to 600 yds?
-Has anybody tried this style bullet in theirs? http://www.buffaloarms.com/Bullet_Mo....aspx?CAT=4157
I know it won't feed thru the mag but that won't be a problem as I'll load one at a time.
-Do any of you have the MVA 130 tang sight http://montanavintagearms.com/produc...er-tang-sight/ on their rifle and can you tell me how much elevation you have left from your 100 or 200 yd settings?
-It's been reported that the rifle doesn't have much of a throat. What does that mean exactly? Does a cast lead bullet similar to a flat nosed 405 grainer work OK? Thanks in advance.
