Browning 1885 Rifle 45-70 Govt for sale online.www.gunsinternational.com
Hi LIK2, I wish I could afford an original but not gonna happen. They say Browning only sold around 550 of them and some of those may have been the LowWall. So……. a more modern Hiwall made by Browning is what I’ll have to settle for……… unless you know of an original waaaaaaaay under priced.You looking for an original?
The Browning 1885 BPCR are pretty nice. Too heavy to carry around on most hunts, but fun to shoot. shoot smokeless in them also.
Thanks blue. I am enjoying it already. I really like the old Winchester and Browning firearms in general and but the connect to my Grandfather makes this especially fun and a little exciting, if I dare admit that sort of thing.Lump, I sure like my petite little 1885 .243. But, it is a VERY shiny and highly finished rifle. Im sure glad I bought it before they were stupid expensive.
I sure like those case hardened Winchester 1885’s too.
So I understand what you mean about a showpiece. I want you to know if you end up with a fancy one, I will step up and offer to shoot the new out of it for you.
Good luck and enjoy what is sure to be a fun buying experience!
Thanks mtmuley Sure seems a lot of different manufacturers make the 1885 model. All are beautiful, in my opinion.mtmuley1885 Highwall Sporting Rifle – C-Sharp Arms

That A QUIGLEY Sight?
I was thinking it must have been a real long shot for that caliber. Maybe even up to 150 yards.Wow the angle he’s hold it at is unreal, no wonder it’s taking 15 minutes to hear it hit the gong.
Ya but……. Wouldn’t it be fun to own that one…….. However……. wouldn’t it be more fun to have the kind of money that would allow you to buy that rusted out piece of North American sport hunting history and not miss the $17,000. I’d love it, but there would have to be a grizzly standing inside my front door, like HunterHarry was standing in his, first.You'll Have To Hurry On This One Lumpy!
If You Look Close Around The Rear Sight Looks To Be Some Light Rust?
Great advice LIK2, but I won’t be buying an antique 1885, I was just posting those picture cuz someone asked if I was looking for an original. I just shared the price and a cool looking onez…….. and said, no…… but I like to…….If you do decide to invest in an old one get the Blue Book of Gun Values”. Has a lot of good information. They also have an antique version. Any thing old enough to of been shot with black powder should really be examined thoroughly. Especially the bore. People do little hacks to old guns that deplete the value, but they still want top dollar. Might even be able to find an old timer locally that has a lot of knowledge on the rifles you are looking for to help check the gun over before you purchase it.
