Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description:  BROWNING B-78 HIGHWALL SINGLE SHOT .45-70 OCTAGON SPORTING RIFLE, #W57 80XXX, MADE FROM 1973-1982. This was one of the first of the “new” .45-70s to come out in the 1970s when American shooters re-discovered this famed cartridge. Ruger came into the field with its No.1 and No. 3 single shots, and of course, Marlin entered the Market with their revamped lever action chambered in .45-70. Shiloh Sharps was also there, but they catered more to the traditional black powder cartridge crowd. The B-78 in .45-70 has  a heavy steel crescent butt plate, straight butt stock, schnable forend, checkering and  unusual inletted sling swivels (when these are missing they are almost impossible to replace), 24” octagon barrel with open sights that is factory drilled and tapped for scope mounting. There is also a screw in the upper tang portion of the action that can be turned so that cartridges are fully ejected/thrown when the lever is dropped or the screw can be turned to stop cartridges so that they can be manually taken from the receiver . This is an excellent example that has seen very light use. If you look carefully you might find a few very light and shallow handling marks in the sock finish. About all the blue remains. Tight action, light trigger pull, exc. bright bore. Not often seen anymore.
