Our Assessment: John M. Browning was only 23 years old when he produced this falling block type rifle. He sold the rights to Winchester in 1883 and it was produced as the Winchester single shot 1885. This particular rifle was produced 100 years later and is a great shooting rifle that would be a pleasure for any gun owner to possess. With adjustable trigger pull and adjustable shell deflector this is one sweet rifle. A flat shooting .270 is the ideal deer cartridge. Have a great 2012 hunting season.
