FWIW, I sold the 45-70 Browning 1886 SRC today. A buddy of mine wanted it, and asked what I would take for it. I told him 600 bucks out the door, and that it wouldn't shoot a cast bullet. He said that he would give it a try with some jacketed bullets, and if it wouldn't shoot for him, he would send it on down the line. At least at that price, he won't get hurt.
