Model 1886 45/70 Govt Extra Light Lever-Action Rifle

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 Extra Light Rifle features a gloss-blued receiver, barrel and lever. The classic straight grip Grade I walnut stock allows quick shouldering, and has an elegant satin finish. The half-length tubular steel magazine holds four 45-70 Govt. cartridges. The receiver is drilled and tapped for the addition of an optional receiver sight.
