The Loose Moose Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 WTS 40-65 Browning 1885 BPCR High Wall single shot rifle along with all the accessories to get you loading for it. Asking $3,000 for the whole package plus shipping, no trades. includes: Rifle with original Browning rear vernier tang and front globe insert sights, with soft case Brass: 520 total pieces of properly head-stamped 40-65 brass (very hard to find these days) 250 new starline 200 once fired starline 36 once fired Peterson 34 new Bertram Dies and bullets: Lyman 40-65 dies and compression plug Redding pro 40-65 seating die 200 spitzer 400gr lead bullets sized .409 Assortment of .40 cal fiber and poly wads Also have a .410 lube sizer die For those who are interested in shooting long range matches or especially if you’ve ever wanted to compete in BPCR silhouettes, this rifle was engineered to weigh in just under the NRA weight requirement for BPCR competition. It’s a 30” half round half octagon badger barrel on a Miroku made 1885 high wall action with a coil spring. Bore is pristine. This rifle was able to dial in the 1123yd buffalo at The Whittington center range in Raton, NM and repeatedly score hits. The 40-65 cartridge is favored for its lighter recoil and somewhat similar ballistics as a 45-70. The package can be delivered FTF if in the South/Central TX area (will be at TX State championship match at Plum Creek), otherwise buyer will pay to have rifle shipped from my FFL to yours at cost. Rifle will ship to FFL and accessories can be shipped directly to you if you choose. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cholla Posted yesterday at 12:00 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:00 AM According to a legendary shooter I am friends with, the 1885 has the fastest action in single-shot, long-range rifles because there are fewer hand movements to unload and load. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
