HISTORY: The Winchester Model 1886 was designed by John Browning to handle some of the more powerful cartridges of the period. Originally chambered in .45-70 Government, it was later offered in a half dozen other large cartridges. Despite being originally designed for use with black powder, the action was strong enough to make the jump to smokeless powder with only minor modifications, and was subsequently chambered in the smokeless .33 Winchester cartridge beginning in 1903. It was discontinued in 1935, when Winchester introduced a slightly modified M1886 as the Model 71, chambered for the more powerful .348 Winchester cartridge. FREE SHIPPING & NO PROCESSING FEES.
