BROWNING 1885 Octagon in .270 w/Leupold **LOTS OF PHOTOS**

Description:
BROWNING 1885 Falling block in .270 Win with Octagon barrel in gorgeous deep blue.  The owner of this rifle had one of the nicest rifle collections imaginable but this was his favorite gun to hunt with.  It has been hunted and has numnerous handling marks in the wood finish shown in photos- never abused, zero rust, metal finish still looks great and features a LEUPOLD VARI-X III properly mounted with Duplex Reticle.  You could go hunt this tomorrow-it is ready to go and represents a build quality that there is no more of. Bore is excellent as is trigger. Photos tell the story but should you have any questions, just ask.  From the Greene collection.

FROM CHUCK HAWKS : The Winchester/Browning Model 1885

"Browning produced the modern Model 1885 High Wall from 1985-2001. 
Among the distinguishing features of the Browning 1885's are a free floating octagon barrel, self-cocking rebounding hammer, user adjustable trigger pull weight, highly polished high luster blue barreled action, gold plated trigger, select straight walnut stock and Schnabel forearm graced by plenty of cut checkering and a durable glossy finish. Detachable sling swivel posts are included, as are solid recoil pads on selected calibers. All standard models are drilled and tapped for scope mounts; only rifles in .45-70 caliber come standard with iron sights. The forearm is attached directly to the receiver on a husky hanger that prevents wood to barrel contact.
The High Wall includes an ejector (which can be set to eject to the right, left, or extract only), while the Low Wall extracts but does not eject the fired case. Another difference was the pistol grip buttstock supplied on the Low Wall, while the High Wall came with a straight hand stock. High wall rifles come with a heavy octagon barrel while Low Wall rifles come with a light contour octagon barrel. Low wall rifles weigh about 6.25 pounds; High Wall rifles weigh about 8.75 pounds, plus or minus an ounce or two. Both actions are extremely slick and smooth in operation."

WHY CALL?
My name is August and I am the owner. As an authorized dealer I must adhere to published retail pricing guidelines.   You will get the absolute lowest delivered price by calling my direct line. 512-567-7855.  You will get much more than that however.  I want you to get the right gun both for you and your application. You won't be passed off to a clerk, rather you will speak directly to ME.  Have the confidence you are buying the exact gun you need for your goals by discussing it with a master class competitor, instructor and fitter with over 40 years of experience in the shooting sports.  I know the guns I sell and their makers.  I visit them all and have relationships with their owners and gunsmiths.  You will know what you are getting and be happy when you do.  Thank you
 
A TRULY DIFFERENT BUYING EXPERIENCE
 We are not open to the public so your gun has not been handled unlike retailers where guns are endlessly handled, slammed shut and clacked back on a rack countless times by the masses. I have managed firearms retail and could not stand this aspect of it. When you receive a gun from me it’s been packed with care and arrives as your NEW GUN. One person handles each gun from the time it arrives until it leaves and that is me. 
When a gun is sold it gets properly packed that day, by me with FedEx tracking sent to my client immediately. I contact your FFL FOR YOU, and handle all the paperwork.  California? No problem, I have been shipping there for over a decade. Canada and Australia- have sent many there, just ask for details. Buying a fine gun should be fun and exciting.  I don't want to sell you one gun, I want your business for life and want your referrals from building trust.  I have been the largest seller of Caesar Guerini, Syren and Fabarms for the 5th straight year because of service and value.  This is my model and I hope you give me a call.  THANK YOU for reading.
