Yup! They are a better gun than the later Winchesters, and miles ahead of Pumas and Rossi...

What did it sell for? I'd guess about $750. Maybe even up to $900.

That's why I sold my Browning 1886. It was way too nice to shoot.


Throttle fixes everything. If it doesn't fix the problem, it’ll end the suspense.

I love those Browning levers, I've had a 92 in 44 for years, and jut picked one up in 357. No safeties or other idiot proofing. I also have an 86 src and a 71 carbine. Hope to add a 65 in a bee one day as well. I just wish I would have been smart enough to be picking them up when they were cheaper.

For $700, you could have shot it. New Winchesters are close to twice that.

But then, I never saw a gun that I could not shoot. I do have a few that do not see use in rough weather. I have several that do not ride my old Kawasaki Mule. That roll cage has lots of opportunities to put bumps in stuff.

I have a Browning Model 92 in 44 Magnum. It is a fine rifle. Prices have risen considerably since I bought mine. They won't get any cheaper. Get one now if you can.

Absolutely. Much cheaper than a Winchester made by Miroku, per my research, and perhaps half the price on new Uberti clones. Very popular for CAS shooting.

I love mine. It is however a rifle I do not load for. I used to use the Lever Revolution ammo but did not like its on game performance and shifted to 240 grain HP's. I was amazed at how much the point of impact changed when dropping to lighter bullets- it was CRAZY. I also learned I need to just crack the lever ever so slightly to load the magazine otherwise the 'door' seems to catch on the previous case.

One thing I would love and imagine some of you have looked for too - does ANYONE make a recoil pad for these things?

I have done that several times, I can't keep beautiful guns around. If I can't hunt with it, I now get rid of 'em.

You should have bought it and SHOT it.

Don't see them come up often and they are awesome.

Awesome on deer and hogs. Perfect for ladies and youts.

I would not sell mine for $700.

I love it! Guys like you are the ones who will bring the market back to its senses.
