I, too, have a "Winchester" USRAC/Miroku 1886 EL - 45/70. Very pleased with it. Had it for about 7 years. Could not stand the tang safety/rebounding hammer and the resulting annoying trigger. Turnbull Restorations fixed that for me ... trigger is now excellent and it has a half cock safety.

A really well made rifle. Very fun to shoot.

For the benefit of my tired old eyes, I've installed a Burris FastFire ll red dot sight on a Turnbull mount. Great set up.
