I have the best wife.

My wife got me this 1886 Browning as my Christmas gift. I got it a couple weeks ago but didn't get to really shoot it until Christmas. It's my first 45 70 rifle. I was really surprised by the recoil. I was expecting it to kick much harder than it did. I am a lucky man.

Beautiful rifle. You are a lucky man.

THAT IS ONE SEXY BEAST!!!!!!! As my 13 yr old daughter would say, I'm so jelly.

Some firearms are just tools. That sir, is a piece of art.

That is very nice! I would hate to shoot it and get it dirty.

Thank you guys for the kind words. I would love to display it on a wall but I am worried about how to properly secure it against theft.

You could possibly build something like this:

or buy something like this:
