For the 45/70 Owner that has everything!




Winchester Repeating Arms Announces
Classic Limited Edition 1886 Deluxe Takedown Rifle

In 1884, John M Browning designed, and sold to Winchester, the 1886 lever action rifle. It was said that he received as much money for this design as existed in all of Ogden, Utah at the time.

Today, this legendary masterpiece is once again available on a very limited basis. Davidson's Gallery of Guns, in a cooperative effort with Winchester Repeating Arms, proudly offers some of history's most wonderful firearms designs and now you can own a recreated part of history for a whole lot less than what existed in Ogden back in 1884.

Features include:
· 26" half round, half octagonal barrel
· High polished blued metal
· High grade (III-IV) wood
· Checkered pistol grip and forearm
· Special serial numbers
· Unique box sleeve
· Letter of authenticity
· 45-70 caliber
· Full-length magazine tube
· Only 501 produced

The MSRP is $2079.95

I'll stick with my Marlin Cowboy thanks.

 

[John Spartan]

Not bad...I'd get one if I didn't already have a Marlin CB in 45-70 and an original 1886 made in 1895.

The Winchester website shows it being chambered in 45-90BPCR. Can you shoot 45-70 out of that??

 

[Win 38-55]

Aftermidnight, that is a gorgeous gun!

 

[NB_GSXR]

Agreed, not often you see a really nice levergun with a pistol grip. Gorgeous.

 

[SuperCub]

Nice rifle, but I'd be more interested in a new "non-collectable" 86 with a shotgun butt and drilled for a Lyman reciever sight.

I would like winchester to get their heads out of theis a$$es and give us what we want. Leverguns we can afford to take into the bush and hunt with, like they used to do.
