O'kay fellow sportsmen, here we go. Which of the following two rifles would you rather have and why: Browning 1886 carbine in 45-70 or the Marlin 1885 (Guide Gun or Sporter) in 45-70? What is your opinion about their general accuracy, handling quality, ability to handle stiff loads, and ability to cycle loads with longer bullets.

Kindest Regards,
Timberwolf

Thanks DocRob. If you don't mind, I would like to know what kind of butt stock you put on your rifle? Was the installation difficult, and what type of recoil pad do you have?

Happy holidays,
Timberwolf

Odessa, thanks for your post. Do you have any idea how much the Marlin 45-70 Limited editions are going for on the used market? Say one that's 80-95 per cent.
