Browning Model 1885 BPCR falling block rifle in .45-70 is absolutely beautiful. The 30" half-octagon heavy barrel has a mirror bore with strong rifling and is topped with a spirit level front sight that takes interchangeable leaves. The action is smooth and locks tight, and the extractor works. The factory Browning match grade Vernier rear tang sight is fully adjustable and folds down. Bluing is over 99% with slight brightness at edge of muzzle and a patch of small, insignificant scratches at bottom of barrel about halfway back to the forearm. Beautiful high-grade walnut stocks have sharp hand-cut checkering and light to moderate handling marks. Trigger guard lever and receiver have vivid case color with only a few small scratches that you really need to search out. This rifle handles great and hangs steady.  Take it to the matches, do some hunting in style, or store it away as a good investment.
