Winchester Guns 1886 45-70 Gov Rifle (7-Round)

Winchester Guns 1886 headlines the specification sheet for this platform. Factory literature categorizes it as a sporting rifle, which frames expectations for handling and use. Factory chambered in 45-70 Gov, built around a lever action with a 7 rd. round capacity to keep performance predictable from shot to shot. Dimensional notes call out a barrel length of 22" in and overall length measuring 41" in, helping you plan cases and storage. Unloaded weight settles near 8 lbs, which influences recoil management and carry options. Furniture is trimmed in walnut with a wood finish, giving the rifle its classic profile. Metalwork wears a blued treatment, pairing durability with period-correct styling. Stock appointments include factory checkering for extra purchase and a traditional butt plate. Overall dimensions ship at 3.60 X 7.50 X 50.60, so plan case and safe clearance accordingly. Magazine stays fixed to the rifle, so reload plans should account for gate or tube feeds. Without a hinged floorplate you will cycle rounds out manually when clearing the rifle. Select retailers indicate this model qualifies for direct ship where local regulation allows.
