Gents, I have an opportunity to buy a Browning Falling block, 7mm mag, with a octagon barrel. its in very good shape. just a mark on the butt stock thats about 4 inches long. never been shot. who can tell me what this rirfle is worth? never scoped either. thx
Both the Browning and Winchester 1885's are fine rifles. There is a used one here (in a local LGS) with a $700 tag on it. Browning is also bringing back some B78's this year. The MSRP on them is around $1300 (if I remember correctly).

I've seen them go for $700 to $1,800 depending on grade and caliber. I have one in 22-250 and it's a nice gun, accurate, good looking, etc. The only problem is you have to turn the rifle on it's side to reload it if you're on a bench or some kind of rest. Other than that nice gun.
k. well it has a matte finish look to it. so not a shiny look. i guess i would classify it as a grade 1. if its never been shot, and has only one scratch, would 500-600 be a good deal?
They are acceptionally accurate. I have one in 30-06 that I've hunted deer and antelope with since the late '70's. It'll still do sub-moa 3 shot groups with it's favorite loads
