It soon became the premier big game hunting rifle for North America. It was the rifle that became a Theodore Roosevelt favorite when he was a working cattleman in the Dakotas, years before he was President of the United States.Today’s Model 1886 rifles come in versions and configurations that you will love. And the line-up is changing all the time as new models come and go in our production line-up.One thing is for sure, all are beautifully finished and made to the level of precision and quality that made the originals famous.The 1886 was the second John M. Browning design he created for Winchester. It was considered robust and accurate, and capable of handling the long, powerful black powder “buffalo” cartridges popular on the Western Plains. The 45-70 Government is the all-time classic chambering for this robust rifle design . . . more than a match for grizzly bear, bull elk and bison.
