Anyone have or see one of these? An 1886 copy, takedown, 45-70 reviewed by Hickok.
Looks like a cool rifle, but not for the traditional wood and cch crowd.

Msrp is a bit steep at over $1500! But i guess it is a takedown, which is uncommon.

I am not sure which one you are looking at, but they have three models and one of them is a CCH and Walnut. It has a longer barrel, but still is a takedown. I don't have one, but do have the Alaskan in the 44 magnum. It has been a nice gun, and very handy to have broke down, and in it's case. Yes that is a lot of money in some ways, but it already has a lot of features or ( add ONs ),,, EX : stainless, rubberized wood, Skinner sights, and large lever to accommodate gloves. |

Not to steer the thread but that company also makes pistols. Where are they made? I seem to not be able to find a company info page.

www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,42580.0.html I have one, picked it up in jun/jul time frame from my dealer in OR. Would love to tell ya about it but still haven't filled out a 4473 and picked it up.  Yea, this trip hasn't been an organized gang bang to say the least, more like an unorganized circle joke with stuff half completed. Anyway, I was down that way a couple of years ago when he and another 'friend of ours' pulled out a couple of identical HC 1886s, the previous version called the Kodiak I believe. Anyhow, shot them both and liked the 18" 1/2 Oct - 1/2 round, barrel mounted peep and FO front and the fact that it was matte hard chrome. I shot it probably 3z4 times along with an Alaskan TD 92 style in 44 mag. We discussed availability a few times then this spring I get a call if I was still interested. Its' not the same, TD with a scout scope rail, little larger lever loop (good for gloved hands) and a muzzle break. I said sure, just take it outta what cha owe me. Holy sheep you know what, I figured about 1150-1200. Now, refrence the above link. Fit and finish on all that I saw were nice on the outside however, alittle rough on the inside. These aren't Winoukos. Slow and diliberate and they work fine as they come outta the box. They need alittle TLC, the standard slick job and spring tweak along with the above to get the last hicoup out. When I et my hands on it, I'll update this.
