The Browning BPCR is a good rifle. It was made in Japan by Miroku. If you are referring to an original Winchester 1885 as a comparison, the internal workings are much different. The Miroku version is much more complicated. If you are looking to compare it to other Miroku models, there are differences in stocks, sights, and barrels. The BPCR came with a Badger barrel and most folks consider them to be quite accurate. I have a Winchester 1885 Traditional Hunter in 38-55 and had the opportunity recently to shoot a friends Browning 1885 BPCR in 40-65. Both are very nice rifles in my humble opinion. I think you will be happy with the BPCR if you decide to get it. Of course you will need a Sharps to go Full Quigley.
