The Winchester Model 1886 Short Rifle (brand part no. 534175171) revives the lever action that changed big-bore rifles forever, chambered in the powerful .45-90 Winchester the original was famous for handling. Winchester pairs a 24-inch brushed-polish blued sporter barrel with a Grade I satin walnut straight-grip stock, a drilled-and-tapped steel receiver, and a brass bead front sight with an adjustable rear. Built to the precision and finish quality that made the originals the premier big-game rifle of the Western plains, it feeds from a tube magazine under the barrel. Among lever action rifles, this Model 1886 favors big-bore lever enthusiasts and collectors chasing the authentic buffalo-cartridge experience.
