Do you not fancy something more classy looking?? The two to the right are Miroku manufactured 45-70s, a Winchester 1886 and the far right is a Browning 1886. I may part with the Browning

Ruger Marlin 45/70 Trapper Black Laminate, one mate calls it the Pacemaker, the other calls it a Beast

Great fun to shoot and easy to reload if you can find the brass cases , they’re like rocking horse poo around here

Have you considered a Chiappa? They’re an 1886 copy. Nice guns. Message me if interested.

They had them at the Shooting show at Harrogate last year, the next one is in May

A lad from my club is 2 1/2 months into a 3 month wait for one according to his local Rfd

Is this anything like what you are looking for? Available in Bournemouth and comes with die, brass, heads, etc and optional Leopold 3-9X50 scope which is currently on it.

The serial numbers are transposed to
I’ve a late Remlin which is identical to the Ruger as they were made on the same machines,

Do t believe the web bull regarding these things, only very early Remlins were rubbish

Exactly. I've got a Remlin in 357 and it's excellent. Lovely and smooth, very accurate. Never had any issues at all.
