Does anyone know about Winchester coming out with a NEW 1885, in .45-90 for BPCR shooting?

There are 43 left. I don't know how big the run was, but probably less than a 1000.

These have been out for some time. GunBroker always has a few for sale. By the way, check out the Browning BPCR .45-110 on GunBroker.

These are not the BPCR rifles Browning sold a few years ago with Badger Barrels and pretty good competition tang and globe sights. Also you might check the twist. If this rifle is set up for the Win 45-90 express cartridge (300 or 350 grain bullet, as I recall) the twist will be 'way too slow for 500 gr and longer bullets you need to use in serious BPCR competition.
