New Winchester 1886 Extra Lite Rifle

[Slooshark1]

I saw this on the Winchester website and thought it would be nice to have one again. I had a Browning 1886 saddle ring carbine back in 93 but I sold it (regretfully). I also had one of the earlier 1886 Winchester Extra Lite rifles and sold it too. Hopefully I'll hang on to the next one. Has anyone here picked up one of the new 1886s yet? Does anyone know where I might be able to pick up one of the saddle ring carbines, Grade 1, from the early 90s?

Best regards,

Wow, it's nice to see runs of 86's, 92's, 94's and 95's being produced again! No doubt their being made by Miroku, but I would love to get ahold of an 1886 as well. Thanks for posting!

Nothing wrong with the Miroku lever guns! Better made than the originals, no doubt

The problem with the Miroku made guns is the tang safty and rebounding hammers. Some of you may not mind them, but i don't think that they belong on a lever gun, especially a Winchester lever gun. Both Pedersoli and Chiappa will have 86's out by this fall, and they won't have these abominations on them.
