The MODEL 1886 was John M. Browning’s next design for Winchester.® Robust and accurate, it’s capable of handling the long, powerful black powder “buffalo” cartridges popular on the Western Plains. The 45-70 Government is the all-time classic chambering for this robust rifle design.
The Model 1886™ was the biggest, meanest lever-action repeater of its day. Designed to handle potent cartridges like the classic 45-70 Government, the robust Model 1886 was more than a match for grizzly bear, bull elk and bison.
