Remaining Win. M1885 .45-90 Creedmoor rifles sold out & no more to be made

[TexasMac]

Just thought I'd update anyone interested that Davidson's (the only distributor that handled them) sold the remaining stock of Win. M1885 Creedmoor .45-90 BPCR.  These have the 34" Badger barrels.  Both Davidson's and Winchester has indicated they have no plans to make more.  There was a total of 251 rifles made in two batches.  So these are going to get hard to fine as time passes, just like the original Browning Creedmoor's, which the Winchester was a copy of. 

GunBroker and GunsAmerica have a couple listed so if you've been considering one I suggest you don't wait much longer.

Good news for those interested. I just bought one myself and Davisdsons had sold their stock to CDNN. You can contact CDNN for the details. I don't have the contact information handy but my dealer told me they said they have several available for sale in both the 45-90 and 50-90 versions. I ordered the 45-90 with intentions of shooting my 45-70 loads. My order has the 30 1/2" barrel, pistol grip, no sights, front dovetail cut in. Comes in satin oil finish and beautiful case color hardened receiver. Dealer cost was published at $997 on their dealer flyers. The statement is correct from my findings. Davidson ordered these out in a limited production run. And I also believe there is no intention of another production run unless a notable quantity is requested. Not knowing the full story, but it appears that Davidsons decided to sell the lot to CDNN.

Just for everyones information if you are interested.
