A Winchester 1886 with a muzzle brake and Rubber Coated Furniture!!!


From AllOudoor.com
Fans of John Browning's classic Model 1886 lever-action rifle should check out the new Model 1886 takedown line introduced at the 2015 SHOT Show.

The rifles are manufactured by the Italian company Chiappa and distributed exclusively in the U.S. by Taylor & Co.

The three models include a rifle with a classic case-hardened finish, checkered Walnut furniture and traditional sights. The two more modern versions come in either a matte blue or [size=150]hard chrome finish with rubber coated furniture, a sight rail and more modern sights, and a muzzle brake[/size]. All three are chambered in the .45 – '70 Govt. cartridge with a magazine capacity of four rounds.

These models are so new they are not yet listed on Taylor & Co.'s website but should be added soon.

For more info, and to see the takedown procedure, watch this video with a Taylor & Co. rep from the 2015 SHOT Show.

Just because you can don't mean it's a good idea.

What's next? A black, tacticool Henry with rails, and an adjustable pistol grip stock?

[Trailrider]

What? No laser designator? If they were really serious about this, they'd chamber it for something a bit flatter shooting. The .33WCF comes to mind. It is a lot flatter shooting than .45-70. The only thing that would be a drawback would be to get Hornady to start production of their great 200 gr JFSP .338" bullet they made back in the 1970's. As was posted, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

I do not care for the modernized version either, but I am willing to bet a nickle that they are trying to get a piece of the Marlin Guide Gun market....

Not really my style, but as a guy who carries a gun at work all summer for bear protection, I can see the value of a rust-proof 1886.  I would much rather have an 86 than one of the marlins when my life was on the line (I have seen to many Marlins jam to trust them) and weather is bad up here in Alaska.

Immediately after clicking on the link at the top of this thread my mouse and keyboard locked and I had to do a hard power off to regain control of my computer.
