Turnbull 1886 50-110
Finally made it back to the USA and out to my dealers to pick up my new rifle. He was nice enough to hold on to it for me while I was overseas.
Here are the specs-- Winchester 1886 by Turnbull Restoration, 32 inch octogon barrel, shotgun butt and case finish. Chambered 50-110 Winchester (50 express). Have not shot it yet, but ordered the makings a couple years ago when I ordered the gun. I do have 40 rounds of smokeless loaded now
I plan to use it a bit in CAS long range rifle side matches. That is why I wanted the 32 inch barrel. Magazine holds 10.
Here are some photos;

Re: Turnbull 1886 50-110
Very nice !
I've wanted a 50-110 on and off for a number of years !
But I wanted it on an old original Marlin square bolt Model 1895 . Passed on one a few years back that had been made on an 1895 of 1897 vintage and had been rebored in the 20's or 30's I think .
When I was in the midst of getting the rebore or not I talked with Steve Brooks about making me a copy of the old Winchester 50-110 300 grain HP mold as well . He told me he could do it and I think then the cost was about $150 of course this was maybe 5-7 years ago .

Re: Turnbull 1886 50-110
I had Turnbull and his crew build a 50-110 for me on a Browning 1886 but opted for a 1/2 round 1/2 octagon barrel and short mag tube to keep the weight down. They sure do nice work.

That is quite a rifle!! Might take some getting used to shooting that 32" barrel offhand. I do believe that I could learn though.

Re: Turnbull 1886 50-110
Howdy,
I have a Turnbull 50-110 built on a Browning M71, With a 32" barrel. Get ready for some stout recoil ! Better put a cuff on it is my suggestion,

Re: Turnbull 1886 50-110
Thanks guys! Bronco, I have a 26 inch barreled Marlin Cowboy in 50 Alaskan from Turnbull. I got an idea of what its going to be like. I'll probably shoot the 86 with cast 300's and Goex 2F.
