    Picked up a Winchester 1886 takedown in 45/90
    Took 17 hours to drive home because of the weather. Will work up a load and take it hunting in Sweden soon.

    Beautiful, that'd be worth a pretty penny. I imagine it weighs a ton too?

    It's got a lever so I suspect it counts.

    Moose

    Roe Deer and Pigs.

    Mainly Moose though,they were pretty popular in 45/70,45/90 and 50/110.Good thing about a 45/90 is that you can fire 45/70 through it if you like,45/90 Brass is pretty expensive and sadly easy to crush in a reloading press.

    I am sticking with the Open Sights,they are more than good enough for the kind of hunting that I do over here.

    I actually had to look that up....45/90......never seen,Or shot one..... another quest

    DescriptionThe .45-90 Sharps cartridge is a black powder round introduced in 1877 by the Sharps Rifle Manufacturing Company. Also known as the .45 2 4/10, the cartridge was developed for hunting and long range target shooting. In the modern day, it is used for Black Powder Cartridge Rifle competitions. Wikipedia
