Accurate they are! Well built , and strong ,. You bet! I bought one several yrs ago Winchester Legacy 1886 in 45/70 . Have loaded 405 gr. bullets and 3031 for the most part. It is not picky about bullet or powder. Has one of the slickest bores that I have seen . And will shoot better than I can hold. The only thing I have changed on mine is the stock finish. I removed the finish slimmed down the fore arm to about like an original looks , and gave it a oil finish. The blueing is very good ,almost black. I have thought about making the same changes that Roy did on the hammer in order to have a half cock. But I must admit , I have never had any problem with the rebounding hammer set-up. But for an old Winchester guy , it does feel a bit different. I think you would be very happy with the Winchester or the Browning . Both are fine rifles. If I was not so afflicted with the 76 Winchesters mine would get a bit more use. ,,,DT
