A Miruku1886 extra lightweight extra fancy (the one with all the engraving) 45-70 that is new in the box in unfired condition for $1,400 out the door? I don't really want the fancy grade, but a plain one seems to run at least $1200 on gunbroker.

Yes. I have a Browning 71 (.348) high grade that I use as if it was a regular grade. OR, you could look at the two Browning 1886 45-70s on Gunbroker right now, they're both regular grade and one is $1350 and the other $1400. One comes with 4 boxes of ammo if I remember correctly. I prefer the Brownings to the new Winchesters (no safety). Good luck.

I will probably go get it before too long. But my wife tells me that I may be buying a new house soon, so maybe not.

gonna hunt it/shoot it ?

or just fondle it........?

sounds too purty to shoot........

Posted By: JoeBob Re: Would you buy? - 05/22/16
I want to shoot it, but is is too purty. But a plain one is just expensive.

I looked at an extra light for some time, finally someone bought it. It was used, plain, and over $1100. I couldn't really justify it, my Guide gun will kill anything I want to point it at, so the extra potential wasn't needed.

But they sure are a pretty rifle. The 1886 EL, M71, and M64 are perfection in style in my eyes.

I was watching those too. I just bought the $1400 one that Turnbull cut to 19". somebody else bought the one with the ammo a couple days ago.

Yeah, but why would I want an inferior firearm with a weaker action?
Posted By: tikkanut Re: Would you buy? - 05/23/16

CT Marlins are far from inferior........

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to run by and pick it up one day when I have a little change in my pocket.
