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, or pistol grip, Grade I walnut stock allows quick shouldering, and has an elegant satin finish. The receiver is drilled and tapped for the addition of an optional receiver sight. Like the other historical rifle models, production is limited.
