PedersoliA(R) 1886 Sporting .45-70 Government Lever Action Rifle Designed by John Browning himself, the Winchester Model 1886 is regarded as one of the greatest lever action rifles in history. It was a true express rifle, capable of handling buffalo cartridges like the .50-110. In fact, it was originally designed for black powder, but the action was stout enough to handle smokeless powder with little modification. Now, PedersoliA(R) is proud to offer this exceptional reproduction of the iconic repeater, complete with high-quality PMG barrel, select walnut stock, and forged and machined steel frame. The 26" barrel is worked from a full steel bar into the classic octagonal shape, and features broached rifling for superior ballistic performance. The stock is a beautiful American walnut that is stained and oil-finished to highlight the grain. The 1886 Sporting comes equipped with a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight, and is also drilled and tapped for an aperture bolt sight. 26" octagonal barrel with broached rifling Select American walnut stock with oiled finish Forged and CNC machined steel frame Color case-hardened receiver for added durability Blade front sight/adjustable rear sight Drilled and tapped for an aperture bolt sight Order today!
