Not a direct comparison, but I had a Browning/Miroku M71 in .348 Winchester.
If the quality of manufacture of this rifle is any indication of the 1886's quality level, it will be a very good gun. Action was smooth, wood was nicely figured and the wood/metal fit was great. The metal was well finished with a deep bluing. No tang safeties or rebounding hammers, just old-school half cock.
All in all, it was a well manufactured rifle. I kinda wished I hadn't been talked out of it, but dollars will do that.
