Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
I bought a nice deluxe 1886 rifle last winter and needed to shoot a deer with it. I had a doe tag, so I decided to get it with the '86. She is a real trophy and the gun looks good, back in the field...

Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
Just the other day I thought of sending You a message Shrapnel to see what was going on out there. Now We know the rest of the story.! .

Heck of a purty rifle.
Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
isn't it against the law, yet, to have a rifle be that gorgeous? i mean, there are laws against everything else.
if i had something that looked that great i would haul it out into the woods every chance i got
way to go with the gun and the meat
curious about your load for the venison

Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
That's superb Shrapnel! I'm happy to see you take your beautiful guns afield and enjoy them.

Got another one last night...
Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
Very nice ! But please tell me that rifles either 45-90 or 50-110

Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
I agree, I would love to have it in a 50, but I am not interested in a 45-90. The 45-70 is still the classic chambering. I do have an even more rare 50. It is a Colt lightning that was a special order gun, lettered and sent to Bombay as a cat gun. It is still out there killing stuff too..

Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
What a beautiful rifle! And it is good to see it being used as intended. Thanks for sharing.
Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
A few years back when I was actively collecting mainly Marlin levers I always thought it would be really cool to have a WIN 1876 in 50-95 a WIN 1886 in 50-100/500-110 and a Colt in 50-95 . Never got any of the three !

Gorgeous huntin rifles there! Great to see antiques still doing their duty. Hoping to draw blood any day now with my '73.
Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
You sir, have some incredible firearms. Thank you for the pictures.

Re: Got The 1886 Deluxe Out
I just read an article on the Bullard. Dang shame no one makes a reproduction. Seems like a really awesome design
