I think Winchester/Miroku subscribes to the "get it right the first time" philosophy and Quality Control Inspector is an actual funded position at the Miroku factory.
I don't have a dedicated Winchester tool box to date not even for my 50+ year old heirloom legacy 94s which never break or malfunction. :mrgreen:

All of the Miroku made "Winchesters" and Brownings that I have ever had the opportunity to handle looked great. I haven't seen one so far that I wouldn't like to own. The problem is they are just too far above my pay grade.

I bought one of the older production Browning 1886 SRC used in box out of Cabela's 'gun library about a year and a half back.

These really a sweet gun. Also a gun I had lusted for when they were making them back in the 1990's and couldn't afford!

Greetings
I have one of the "jap" 86 Light weights also. Very well made and assembled. Shoots fantactic with all the cast I have tried up to 405 grains. I have not tried to max it out but it has all the thump I could need for any critter that might lurk the east ILLinois swamps I hunt when up north there.
Light, fast and easy to carry with a receiver sight. Happily I got mine about 10 years ago when few people seemed real interested and the wholesalers were selling them cheap.
My favorite carry about for anything load is a 350 grainer at 1700 fps. Cast of 50-50 it will expand on any critter weighing 50 pounds.
