Winchester Model 1886 Deluxe 45-70 Case Hardened 24" Barrel 534227142
Description
With the introduction of the Winchester Model 1886 the world of lever actions was changed forever. No previous lever action ever handled as well. No previous lever was as strong. No other lever action ever offered chamberings in such powerful cartridges.
A new standard was set, and it would be years before another lever action would even come close to the perfection of a Winchester 1886.
The 1886 Winchester accompanied settlers all across America. It soon became the premier big game hunting rifle for North America. It was the rifle that became a Theodore Roosevelt favorite when he was a working cattleman in the Dakotas, years before he was President of the United States.
The 1886 was the second John M. Browning design he created for Winchester. It was considered robust and accurate, and 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 . . . more than a match for grizzly bear, bull elk and bison.

The order was quick, easy and rifle was delivered immediately. Unfortunately, because Wa State has turned Marxist they have added a ten day wait to pick it up..in addition to a required written test in order to purchase a huning rifle.
Exceptional rifle and fills a very important spot in my collection. Exceptional customer support, fast shipping and tracking information provided. Will look for again for my next purchase.
