Winchester Hi-Wall

[oppthepop]

Hey friends - I'm having a serious craving for a single shot Winchester Hi Wall. Probably in .308 or maybe even a 7mm mag. Anybody got any experience with this rifle?

I have a Browning High Wall Model 1885 in 270 caliber. Had it for 25 years or so. It`s the only centerfire rifle I use. I love it better than any rifle I`ve ever seen or used.

I`ll be buried with it.

Was that Browning made in Japan like the Winchesters are? Not opposed to it, just curious.

It was.

I have two of the Browning B78 models. 45-70 & 30-06.
I also have a late model production (2000’s I think) Winchester 1885 in 300 WSM.
There are subtle differences in each but they are favorites.
Just be careful taking them apart if you get one. There are tricks to reassembly.

Hey Nick,

Can I slip an old rusty 10/22 in there with you and sneak that .270 out to the truck?
I can even put in a box or two of ammo, so you won't run short on this deal.

I have a Browning 1885 High Wall in .270 as well. I think..not 100%..that in Browning the High Walls were Long Action rounds and the Low Wall were Short Action rounds...however the .22-250 came in either. Saw a High Wall .22-250 at Adel Outfitters once...it was about $600 over my budget.

Browning made the Low Wall in .243 Winchester also. I think the cost now is somewhere in the left nut range if you can find one for sale

Love the Hi Wall. Would really like to have a half round barrel in .40-70

I have a 1885 browning high wall in 4570 and I totally love it and will be hunting with it this deer season and it shoots every bit as good as my long range express Shiloh sharps does
