[Licensed to kill]

It's a Winchester 1885 ( original, not a reproduction) with a Douglas barrel and a 10x Junior Targetspot Scope.

I did not know that Winchester produced 1885’s with Douglas barrels.

My former Mossberg 464 with 1:10 twist shot very well with Rem 170 gr ammo. They should've kept them buggers in production.

They did not. The rifle was built in the 1900's, but rebarreled with a Douglas barrel later in it's life. The job was done pretty well and at first glance it appears 100% original.
