I have a Browning B-78 with a round barrel in .30-06 . Refinished the stock in a hand rubbed tung oil finish. Beautiful Walnut with lots of figuring. Limbsaver recoil pad, ConeTrol mounts and rings. It shoots like a dream and has a crisp 2.5lb trigger. I could be talked out of it, if any of you would be interested.

All of these a neat rifles, however the early B78's are definitely not the same as the 1885s. I've had one on each and the triggers are different. If I remember correctly they even have different numbers of pins through the receiver, 3 vs. 2.
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

Here's mine. Look at the wood. I'm sure this stock cost more than the rifle did originally. Glad I kept it.
