High grade Winchester 1885 .22LR

[jamesdmock]

I will inherit a Winchester (Miroku) 1885 High grade Low Wall .22LR. I don't know anything about this rifle except it is a beautiful rifle. Can anyone shed any light about possible accuracy and maybe approximate value. Thanks

Accuracy wise it’s your basic squirrel rifle, the few that have sold in recent years seem to be around $1500-$1750 in new/as new shape.

Thanks. I am hoping to trade it for an accuracy type rifle....if I can find one of the same value that is for sale.

Unless you are leaning toward a BR rig, you should be right in the sweetspot for a low milage Cooper 57 or Anschutz.

I may be willing to trade for a target rifle like a Rem. 37 that I saw on Benchrest Central.

I have one i squirrel hunt with. Kind of heavy since i am getting older,,paid 1200 5 years ago new in box. Fun rifle if you like single shots.(i do)
Nothing special in accuracy department. Minute of squirrel head every time though.

Saw one in 17 HMR two nights ago at a local shop and they were asking $1200 for it. Nice looking .

Accuracy is phenomenal in my estimation. I bought mine used with a Leupold scope mounted for $1200. The first day out I just grabbed the first box of ammo in the closet which happened to be TAC-22. It took 9-10 shots to get it sighted in and then I got this~! I was pleased~!

James, I have a numbers matching mod37 that I might trade.
I guess I didn't notice that this was 2 1/2 years old.

Nothin special in accuracy~? Yours must have slipped thru the cracks. I have 3 Miroku built 1885s, two of which I've shot, and both are far above average in accuracy

I hope my modern Low Wall 17HMR, will shoot like that. WOW

I'd love to have one of those High-grade versions but fear that it would just become another "safe queen"~!
