Lever-action rifle chambered for powerful historic cartridges, featuring a blued receiver, lever, forearm cap and crescent buttplate with 24" round barrel. Satin finish walnut straight grip stock and forearm with Marble Arms front sight and adjustable rear sight; receiver tapped for optional sight mounting.
The strong and reliable action of the Winchester Model 1886 was designed to handle the then-new, heavier 45-70 Govt. cartridge, developed by the U.S. Government in 1873. The Model 1886 features a deeply-blued receiver, barrel and lever, along with a matching blued steel end cap and steel crescent buttplate. The classic straight grip Grade I walnut stock allows quick shouldering, and has an elegant satin finish. The full-length tubular steel magazine holds six 45-70 Govt. cartridges.
