Why the 1886?
The 45-70 Government remains one of the most versatile rifle cartridges available. It handles everything from medium game to large North American species with authority. The 1886's lever-action design provides rapid follow-up shots and intuitive operation—no external safeties to fumble, no magazine changes needed in the field.
The takedown feature is practical for hunters who travel, those with limited storage space, or shooters who prefer to break down their rifles for thorough cleaning and maintenance.
