I have to agree with Shrapnel on the Browning 1886. Mine happens to be the Winchester repro with rebounding hammer (which I had disabled), and tang safety (which I had removed and covered the slot with a vernier tang sight). I do have a Browning 71 without the rebounding hammer and tang safety and that is the way to go. I did have a couple of Marlin Cowboys in 45-70 but only have that one in 38-55 now.
