Looking for Browning 1885 Traditional Hunter
« on: September 09, 2004, 10:35:06 AM »
Howdy folks,
I am looking for a Browning 1885 high Wall Traditional Hunter in 30/30 or 38/55, hopefully in NIB or excellent condition. I am north of the border in Canada, so if there are any Canadians who see this maybe they can keep an eye open. If there are any TH's located in the US at a dealer who is willing to export, I can provide the necessary import documents. Thanks for looking.

Looking for Browning 1885 Traditional Hunte

Most THs I see for sale are either 45 LC or 45-70 ... some 22 Hornet.  However, there is a 30-30 Hi Wall for sale currently on Gunsamerica (www.gunsamerica.com); do a "search" against "1885" under Browning Rifles.  This one has tang sight, crescent butt, etc.; not a TH, per-se, but pretty close.

Browning 1885 High Wall Traditional Hunter

Hi PeterF,
I should have been more clear, it is a High Wall I am looking for. These Traditional Hunters were a catalog item in 2000 and available in 30/30, 38/55, and 45/70.
Thanks for the note. I will check GunsAmerica. Not sure if they will ship North, but might get lucky.
