Because of recent interest in lever guns
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?Quote:

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

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