About Product
An 1886 that's light? The 1886 Winchester was designed by John Browning for Winchester to handle heavy calibers like the 46-70 and the 45-90. Something the 1872 and even the 1876 could not do. But the action of this version is not a "lite" version. You get all the calories of the original. But as has been done for nearly 130 years, this Model 1886 is available in a version that is a little trimmer, a bit lighter weight and a little faster handling. Back in the old days, nearly every rifle traveled on a horse which made weight a lot less important. This one can be carried in your hands. Carry one home this weekend.
