Introducing important technical variations to the previous Model 1886 designed by John M. and Matthew S. Browning the lever action 86/71 is identified as the first rifle chambered for a specific cartridge (.348 WCF) as well as for being the last “big frame” lever action rifle produced by Winchester advertised as “The Universal Big Game Rifle” the Model 71 was welcomed with enthusiasm by big game hunters. Pedersoli is producing this famous rifle chambered for a well-known historical cartridge the .45-70 which is readily available today. The lever action 86/71 is drilled and tapped to be equipped with a side frame mount Creedmoor sight and with the Pedersoli bolt Creedmoor sight. The broach rifled barrel and the magazine are blue finished the stock with checkered pistol grip and forend are of walnut. The frame is forged and CNC machined with a blue finish for the standard version and in the premium model case hardened frame and butt cap and selected walnut stock and forend.
