But wait, there’s more!! Another rifle from my Mentor.

Arrrggghhh...That looks pretty much like my old Browning High Wall in 7mm Rem Mag. That was a hell of a shooter...no reason that one shouldn't be...You suck...

You seem to have gotten rid of several nice guns in your time. Idiot.

I concur...too many...however most went into an upgrade to a grail gun...at least I wasn't selling them to keep the lights on...

NICE!!

Or buy crack. Ha!

Damn, you suck! My dad had one of those in .30-06 that was an absolute tack driver. I have a hankering for one in 7mm RM, just not enough to go buy one.

That is one beautiful sexy rifle. Excellent trade.
Looking forward to a range report.....

I love the .25-06. An underrated cartridge. Became a fan back in the 80s with Bob Mileck taking elk. Loved it ever since. Mentor built me my Goat Gun on a 700 action with Lilja barrel and Weatherby style stock.
This would make an excellent deer/goat gun.

I’m excited about this one from a classic perspective.

The Mirokus are somewhat modernized to run on coils where the originals were leaf springs. My Dad has both old originals and the .32-40 Miroku I bird-dogged him into a few years back - - either way, very serious machines.

Through Pop's deep focus on the Civil War through Buffalo Hunter era, I've tinkered with the Sharps, Rolling Block, Maynard, Martini, Ballard, and earliest Mauser options. My sense is that Browning (A.) had the benefit of coming in later, and (B.) being Browning, did his usual mic drop that made other prospective single shot designers quit and take up crocheting.

[Elk Creek]

Yep the design was there, but the esthetics we know as the 1885 are all Winchester magic…….one original browning one Winchester
….

The falling block was JMBs first patent 1879. The rights were sold to Winchester soon after. Winchester style certainly prevailed for almost 1.5 centuries now.
