Beautiful rifle. I have one of the deluxe 1886 solid frame rifle with the case hardened receiver. Wasn’t aware Winchester was making this rifle in a take down. Very cool.
@@Leverguns50 very nice. I personally do not own any take down models either new production or originals. I always seemed to perfer the solid frame versions for some reason. You’ve got quite a nice collection though. I have many of the same calibers as you shoot and hoping to be adding the 50-110 next year with a custom build somewhat like how you had yours built. But will be using the deluxe 1886 as the donor. Hoping things happen in the new year.
If you need any help finding the barrel or anything let me know, I need to order your reloading dies as soon as possible because they’re on back order right now, of course there are some other custom die builders that might be able to get it a little quicker
@@Leverguns50 Thank you very much thankfully I ordered dies from CH4D early this year. Probably got the last set as I heard they were out and will be about 2 years before making anymore. I stocked up on brass and Barnes bullets also. I’ll be ordering a barrel from Winchester barrels when the time comes. I spoke with the owner also earlier this year. I think that’s where you got your barrel from I believe you mentioned in an earlier video? I have my gunsmith willing to do the work also. I’d like to go with a 26” barrel but will need to find a 26” mag tube seeing this deluxe model comes with a 24” barrel. I must thank you because without your videos and info I would have never thought to have one built and to afford an original is very pricey and also still not as strong as the modern rifles. So this build is all thanks to you sir. I’m in Canada so things arnt as easy to find as it is in the US but I think I’ve got a good start and should have it built sooner then later.
When you get the gun all together, yeah to go by North 61 and let him shoot it. I’ll bet he would have a blast, Keep me posted how it is going, I have quite viewers that we’re getting There’s converted, One guy already shot two elephants with his.
Japan may not be very conventional in thinking 1886 Winchester, nevertheless they make a very nice piece! I doubt if a production model from 1886 would compare.
I don't think the 1886 model was ever chambered for 38-55 wcf. But I love those 86's. Especially the takedowns. I have several in 45-70 45-90 one in 50-110 and one in 40-82 wcf.
Beautiful rifle. Some people don't quite understand the beauty of certain firearms. There are many that are literally works of art. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope you have a blessed weekend.
Beautiful rifle! I'm a sucker for takedown lever action rifle's. I've been talking to Henry recently about making takedown rifle's. But this week was tough, I had a big house fire last Sunday. But I did have a Cyber Monday fire sale! At least I got out alive and that's what count's. Everything is covered by insurance and I had an umbrella policy.
A friend has a 33WCF in an 1886. No problem hitting a gallon milk jug at 300 yards. The only drawback is that none of the bullets for reloading are flat nosed. He sets up a jig and cuts the tips off of his.
WoW!! Very, very nice! I really like that stripe in the wood grain on the left side. It almost looks like a crack, but it's not. I love the water at the end. It fascinates me how it's liquid, yet seemingly endless. The same, but always a little different the way it splashes......it's very calming somehow. You can watch the same spot for hours, but that water will never be back again once it flows past that spot......kind of like life itself, or time, when you think about it........maybe I'm crazy.......never mind.....
I’ve thought the same thing before, sometimes when I look at clouds and wonder if that’s the same water I saw going down the creek last year 10 years ago, and then when you watch the water running down the creek you think about all those people say you’re wasting water I suppose they would try to damn up the creek and stop the water from flowing somewhere, how can you waste water it’s like a never ending cycle
Thats a sweet rifle, takedown levers are my weakness. Also interested to see the results from your speed shooting video. Lots of people do speed videos with handgun calibers, not so much with rifles.
Awesome firearms have a question for you that rear sight on that rifle what is it and did you have to doctor it because of the safety switch love your video bud just bought a 86 45-70 deluxe
How does the crescent rifle buttplate feel when you shoot it? I've held several Winchesters with it and the bottom always seems to poke my shoulder. I always figured when/if I ever buy one (I'm going to buy one the "if" is more if ammogeddion ever ends and I can find one) I'd try to get the Carbine model.
I really like it just did a video shooting fairly rapidly with one even with a crescent plate I think I got two shots off in just a little over a half a second, two 550 grain bullets at 1860fps
Do you feel like the takedown rifle is as strong as a rifle that doesn't come apart? I ask because I'm considering a winchester takedown but I plan on using max loads from time to time. I'm worried a takedown might not be able to handle heavy loads.
All things considered. I think the takedown is strong enough, but I would think that the standard rifle would be a little bit stronger. But doesn’t matter I doubt it.
What kind of effect on accuracy does the takedown have? In the origanals the takedown models were very slightly less accurate due to the threads loosening up after repeated disassembly. I would imagine this loosening happened very slowly over years and years of use. I agree with you about the 1886 and it's updated brother the model 71 being the best models Winchester ever made, next would be the 1895 which was way ahead of it's time in many ways. What killed the 1895 was the fact you could chamber a WWI unmarked 8X57 in a rifle chambered for either .30-03 or .30-06. This would be disasterous on pulling the trigger. To this day American Factory loads for the 8x57 are held to the lame 37,000 cup in case you do this. The other problem with the 8x57 is it started out as a .318 bore diameter round nose and went to .323 with the introduction of the Spitzer style bullet. I have never tried to close the lever on a modern .323 spitzer 8x57 but I have closed the lever no problem on a .318 8x57 in a origanal .30-03 model 1895 so this problem was very real.
@@Leverguns50 sounds like they were thinking about the loosening problem. Winchester had already figured that out in the model 12 so it makes sense they would use a similar system on all their newer built takedowns. ☺
The 40-65 is legendary for it’s accuracy,I seen in the book Winchester lever legacy he’s got a 1 nch Group and a sub MOA group of 3/4” nch at 100 yards
I did a quick Google search and this is what it says Marble's Tang Peep Sight Winchester 1886 with Tang Safety Steel Blue it even says you can get them at Midway USA
Rather surprised this deluxe didn't include case color hardening. It's beautiful rifle otherwise! What brand of rear sight is that? Did it have to be modified to mount to the tang and clear the safety?
This one’s an older one before they did the color case hardening, i’ll have to ask my brother what brand that back sight is but it leaves room for the tang safety

Thank you
I like leverguns alot I want a 73 or76 pattern

Such a beautiful rifle 👍🏻🇺🇸
I own a Browning 1886 45-70; Browning Model 92 44 magnum; Browning 1895 30-06; Winchester 71 348. The Browning 1895 is by far, the smoothest action
All awesome guns
The 33 Winchester was replaced by the 348 when the model 71 was first introduced. Both calibers are great North American Hunting rounds.
A friend has a 33WCF in an 1886. No problem hitting a gallon milk jug at 300 yards. The only drawback is that none of the bullets for reloading are flat nosed. He sets up a jig and cuts the tips off of his.
yea i was actually suprised to not hear .348 on the original rounds list. Thats what i though it released in.

Great review, just curious, what is there about the action on this beauty you find so smooth. Thanks
When you operate the lever it moves back-and-forth so smooth, Maybe not quite as smooth as a 73 but it’s real close
