Winchester Model 1886 Short Rifle, 45-70, 24″ Barrel 8rd

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 Short Rifle 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.

The receiver is drilled and tapped for the addition of an optional receiver sight. A top-tang safety, adjustable rear buckhorn style sight and a gold bead Marble Arms® front sight complete the graceful profile of this historic model. Like the other historical rifle models, production is limited.Category : RiflesAction : LeverCaliber : 45-70 GovernmentBarrel”Capacity : 8+1Trigger : StandardSafety : Top TangOAL : 43″Weight : 8.37 lbsStock Description : WalnutMetal Finish : Blued
