Up for sale is my Browning 1885 Low Wall Chambered in .260 Rem. There were only 200 of the .260 calibers made in this rifle. It features a 24" Octagon Barrel, Browning bases and rings and a Leupold VariX III 12x scope with Target Dot. The rifle has astounding wood on it, and overall gun is in 99% condition. Bluing is perfect and there is one tiny spec on the stock otherwise 100%. It is a beautiful gun and rare to find. Last one I seen sold was on gunsinternational and it sold for $3k.

Asking $2,700.00

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
