Model 1885

The beauty of a single shot rifle

The great classic among single shot hunting and shooting guns was designed and perfected by John Moses Browning at the end of the last century. This gun has remained as beautiful and impressive today as it was 100 years ago.

A single-shot rifle requires particular care and accuracy in setting up the shot: each shot must count. Available in numerous calibers, from varmints to the largest of buffalo, the Model 1885 combines the pleasure of tradition with the advantages of perfect fabrication, using the best of modern steels.
