Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
When they were first manufactured, the John Browning designed Winchester Model 1885 rifles were deemed stronger than the prior Sharps rifles, and the different sight and trigger options available made them an instant hit with hunters and target shooters alike. The Model 1885 rifles were targeted at competitors in “Match Shooting”, a sport which was extremely popular from about 1871 to 1917. The Winchester rifles challenged the Sharps, Remington, Maynard and Ballard rifles, and quickly became known for their reliability and accuracy. Major Ned Roberts, inventor of the .257 Roberts cartridge, described the Model 1885 as “the most reliable, strongest and altogether best single shot rifle ever produced”.
The Browning 1885 BPCR is a falling block single-shot rifle that was introduced in 1996. This Browning 1885 BPCR was produced in 1997, making it a second year of production and features a checkered walnut monte carlo buttstock with an checkered walnut forearm, half round half octagon 30" bull barrel, Globe front sight with an fold adjustable peep tang rear sight, blue finished barrel with a Color case hardened frame the compelets the package!
