Default This years Moose rifle

I just picked up a Winchester 1886 in 45/70 manufactured in 1887.The bad news is its not original it had a new barrel installed and was reblued in the 50s.It will still make a great moose rifle.These old levers are some pretty interesting rifles if this keeps up there will be some bolt actions for trade.
