Home Forums Lever Action Central Lever Actions - General Any love for Miroku-made Winchester lever guns?

Nothing but a plain working modern Miroku made one of 501 1886 .45-90 TD rifle. Which is what I needed for planned hunts in Africa and America.
Ballistics of NF 450 grain FPS bullet at 2150 FPS MV are in upper .458 Win Mag range and kill accordingly.
The 9,5 pounds weight helped in aiming the rifle and controlling the recoil. As expected, the rifle recoiled vertically and then settled right back down on target thanks to the crescent butt plate; works like a charm.
It met all requirements as did experienced 1886 hunter that shot for our team in Africa.

As expected, I am not interested in "bling" on a tool such as a rifle. Functionality and reliability come first and bling is never even considered. After it bounced out of a speeding vehicle in Africa, the scrapes and dents were removed as was the forward tip of the cheek rest thereby allowing the tang sight to fold back into lock below the top line of the stock butt .
Reckon a new picture is overdue?
