Model 1885 Winchester Trapper 45-70 New
My local dealer just got one of these in today. Does anyone have one and if so, how does it handle?

If it's one of these Davidson's Limited Edition's, I haven't even seen one before.
IMO it looks like a Ruger #3 Carbine.

Pete, you are right about it looking like a Ruger number 3, looks like a clone of one.
I am a salty, old, retired Chief Petty Officer who is not impressed by much.

Jeepers, doesn't it just?
I have a Ruger #3 in 45-70 and with its light weight, the right loads and that goshawful Ruger buttplate it really kills at both ends. Handy little bugger, though.
