My favorite levergun ~this morning~ is a new-to-me Browning 53 customized to .218 Bee with an
original Winchester Repeating Arms 30" octagon barrel. Whoa...this long barreled 53 holds sight like an old flintlock! Good thing I have a case of .218 Bee stashed away 'cause .218 Bee is like shooting $3 bills! Here she is:
The Model 53 .218 Bee on the rack above a Winchester 94 with a 26" octagon barrel and a Marlin 336 Texan with a 20" barrel.

Pretty rifle! I will be interested to hear how the 30" barrel works.

I really like that set up. Has me thinking 32-20.
I am confused. (but being half Italian, that ain't hard to do.)
What caliber was that original barrel originally in?-------------------Sixgun

It's good to hear from you again, Victor - and I'm glad to see you're "actice".
With the 30" bbl on that beauty, you won't have to worry about wasting any of that expensive ammo - since you can probably just reach out and touch them varmints.

Jack, the Browning 53 originally was chambered in 32-20. You're not confused and STILL half Italian!!!
