22 hornet, 223, 22-250 and 243. Just like the Brownings, sans no high gloss finish, NICE.

Now when will they do a 260 or 6.5x55, much less a 250 savage or 7/08?

They said they need to do 1000 units......

Time to vote

VOTE? Where?...I would love one in 250-3000, 7-08, and .308....
On their next run I would like to see them make their "Hunter Model" (like the ones chambered in pistol cal. with tang sights) in 30-30, 38-55 and 30-40 Krag! The High Walls they offer in these cal. are just to damed heavy at the listed wt. of 9#...

IF it will hold a .243, it should hold all rounds based on the .308 WIN. cvase, including the .338 Federal and .358 WIN.

.

"They" be Winchester.

Looks like the stocks are shiny, but it
does say oil finish.

That would make a fine 260 Remington or 250 Savage wouldn't it?

I would like to have one in 44 Magnum. Just as long as the price is not out of whack.

I have been looking for one for a while now. I found a couple of 45 LC's. However I would prefer a 44 magnum.

The 45 LC's I have found have been fairly pricey. Tom.

I would love one that has a tang sight in either .22 Hornet or .225 Winchester. It would make shooting prairie dogs under 250 yards a real challenge for my old weak eyes and I love the looks of them. A .44 mag to compliment my Rugers would be nice too. DW

I'd love one in 22 Hornet. A .454 Casull would be nice too. Both with tang mounted peep sights.

Check your PM.

I saw that. Thank You, Tom.

I might just save my pennies for one in .223.

Do you supose it would handle the presure of a .257 Weatherby ?
With a 28 inch tube, that would be screamer !

I would love one of these, but isn't the weight high for a sporter smallbore?

I thought the Browning version in these calibers was significantly lighter than eight pounds.

.

Good observation. My Browning Low Wall in
260 Rem weighs in at 7 lb 9 oz and that is
with steel mounts/rings and a steel Weaver
K4-1 scope included.

I think that's a mis-print on that website
at 8 lbs. for these rifles.

Misprint on weight, guns are Winchester - that said, SHOT show sample was Browning marked 22-250 and NICE wood, and NO gloss, just a satin finish which was nice.

If they'd drop the price a tad, and put in more calibers, I honestly over time would find it hard to shoot anything else, esp. with a better (hmmm perhaps adjustable trigger).

Yes, a 7/08, and 260 as well as a 6.5x55 would hold, GOSH I'd like a 6.5x47 lapua and 6mmBR, the latter in a heavier, standard or heavy sporter bbl.

No matter, a 243 with today's bullets can do alot of killing up thru deer and hogs. I WILL buy a 6.5 if they did one.

Now off to get a new job for the year and save my pennies for the 243......if I can get one before they're gone!

BTW, read the Win. site closely, GLOSS BLUE for bbl, OIL finish for stock. NOT GLOSS.

.

I did read it. It sure LOOKS like gloss,
even though it says oil finish. This pic
looks EXACTLY like my Browning Low Wall that
is GLOSS. This pic is from the current Winchester webpage.

Time will tell...

In person it had more of a satin stock finish but who knows what will appear in production. I would imagine the satin would fit along with the rest of the 1885 line. The SHOT Show model also had well figured wood. How many Win. 1885s have you seen with good wood? It gathered a lot of attention. I wish they would reshape the pistol grip to make better sense than the Browning but doubt they will.

For some reason a lot of the Low Walls(in pistol calibers) that I have seen have had very good wood. However the rifle cartridge models did not seem to have good wood. I guess it could be just the ones I have seen. But I have looked at a couple of dozen of them. Tom.

The big difference is between Browning and Winchester. It appears that Browning requested and paid for higher grade wood. Some Brownings do have fence posts but many are quite good. The Winchesters on the other hand are pretty consistant in having plain wood. Winchester is who you are dealing with so that is the consideration. All the previous low walls were Browning.

I never really paid a lot of attention to that. However when I think about it, the Low Wall pistol cartridge rifles that I have handled have been Brownings.

This surprises me a bit since the rifles for Browning and Winchester are both made at the same place. But I do believe you are right about the grades of wood. However the wood on my High Grade Winchester 1886 Lightweight is exceptional.

It is also surprising that all the Winchester 1885's that I have looked at lately were higher priced than the Brownings. Tom.

I should mention that I was refering to all centerfire low walls as being Browning. I would expect a better grade of wood on a high grade gun. The standard 1885 as imported by whoever Winchester is today is rather plain. Of course if you are attempting to be true to the originals, then plain is proper but that would be all that is keeping with the originals. A specialty gun that has connections with the past and a rather small following should in my opinion be a bit above average. The reality is that that the market today accepts it as it is so that is how they make it.

I held the display gun at the show, it was not as above, the one above in the pic is like the Browning I HAD, bought around 2001.

Ones I seen were mostly pretty figure, mine certainly was, others were so so. I will not buy one if it does not have the nice wood, so the company better realize that if they want success.

Miruko mfg. some NICE quality firearms.
