Lipsey did this in a 26" a couple years ago. I got one and really like that configuration. I would not expect to see that repeated for a while. There was a lyman special quite a few years back. Way back. That included an old style scope. Not likely to be offered again either. There is Gun Broker where anything No1 can be found.

I am waiting for something that starts with a 5 and has a rim.

Edit: I realize now you said 1885. That was also offered in 45/70 with a medium wt 28" barrel. Or check out Buds, that could meet your specs.

Here is another one, NEW different butt plate,

No one really has to look very hard for 45/70. Now it got to be 358 and 38/55 won t do and has to be certain barrel and action .... figure the odds.
