Thanks to nerve damage in my shoulders and arms, my days of big bore shooting are over so I have decided to sell this to fund other pursuits...
1885 Winchester (Miroku) High Wall Sporter in 40-65 Winchester in excellent condition. It weighs exactly nine pounds, has a 28" round barrel, and has both the tang and hunting sights. Also included is a Smith Enterprises Long Range barrel sight from Buffalo Arms. The trigger breaks at a very clean, crisp 3 1/2 pounds. Bore slugs at .408. Comes with the box and paperwork. Unfired by me, and fired very little if any by the gentleman I bought it from. Specs on it are:
Barrel Length - 28"
Overall Length - 44"
Length of Pull - 13 3/4"
Drop at Comb - 3/4"
Drop at Heel - 1"
Weight - 9 lbs 0 oz
Twist Rate - 18"
Barrel Finish - Brushed Polish
Chamber Finish - Polished
Barrel Material - Steel
Stock - Black Walnut
Drilled and Tapped for Scope
$1500.00 or best - insured shipping with tracking included (me to FFL or FFL - FFL, your preference).
If someone is interested, I also have a bunch of reloading supplies (bullet molds, brass, etc) we can discuss as well.
