The one I’m looking at has the tang sight for $1400A friend of mine bought the deluxe version of that rifle, complete with curved buttplate for an upcoming buffalo hunt. It is seriously no joy off a bench due to the buttplate. It actually is a surprisingly heavy rifle. His with the 24" barrel is in the 9lb range:

I think the limiting factor will be the sights, you may want to look at a tang rear.
Marlin can handle 40,000. The 1886 is good for another 10,000.If memory serves me... the Modern Winc. 1886 can handle up to 40K loads... in my 22" Carbine length Miroku made Browning. 1886 , that means about 1880fps with a 405gr Rem. SP.
Plenty of oomph.... and yes it kicks like a mule.
Best part is... you can easily load much lighter recoiling rounds.
Maybe so... but extraction became noticeably stickier with stronger loads.Marlin can handle 40,000. The 1886 is good for another 10,000.
I have a Browning BPCR Creedmoor in .45-90. Made by Miroku. Browning told me that it’s made of modern steel and will withstand anything any modern rifle would. The .45-90 is virtually identical to a .458 Win Mag other than the belt
Fortunately or unfortunately it’s unfired and new condition. Need to find someone that would actually shoot it
AFAIK they only made 328 total, each built to order. One would think they would be highly desired but I’ve tried to sell mine several times with no interest. It’s absolutely beautiful and at one time I thought I’d get into BPCR but it never happened. I’Ve offered it to guys that were going to get something like a Pedersoli that cost more and had a two year wait but for what reason none were InterestedCreedmoor models command a premium as they didn't hake that many.
