The Winchester 1886 Short Rifle in .45-70 Government is a faithful continuation of John Moses Browning's masterpiece — the lever action that proved big-bore cartridges and slick lever guns belonged together. With a 24-inch blued barrel, checkered walnut, and the massive vertical-locking-bolt action that made the original famous for strength, this 1886 handles modern .45-70 loads that turn it into legitimate bear and hog medicine. It is equal parts working rifle and heirloom, from the company whose name is stamped into the history of the American West.
