Winchester BPCR M1885

Anyone know about these? Seems Winchester is bringing another batch of BPCR's.

http://www.winchesterguns.com/produc...02C&mid=534169

Is the action different from the original M1885? Or is it the Browning action?

Is a Badger barrel a good barrel?

If the trigger sucks, what can be done about it?

Can't go wrong with a Badger barrel. Don't know about the rest.

I've found very few single action guns that had really bad triggers, simply firing it some then take it apart and look for shiney areas, drag places and polish the shiney areas and any burrs or rough areas should drastically improve the trigger without an expensive action job.

Those Browning/Winchester 1885 BPCR's seem to end up always in or near the winners circle at BPCR shoots.
