- A close-up look and the history and operation of what's considered by many to be the smoothest and most attractive lever gun of all time, the 1886 lever action. This gun is Browning's beautiful and high quality remake of the famous Winchester 1886, in .45-70.

I have the 1986 "Montana-Centennial" white metal model, what a beautiful rifle. My Dad bought this in Montana (we're in SC) in 1986 during a 50-mule pack hunting trip, but I was the first to fire it 3 years ago.
I installed a Skinner-Merit adjust-aperture rear sight (and 3/4" front blade sight to match) and I get 1" MOA at 50 yds, 1.5" at 100. Super gator gun, and dangerous predator rifle. The crescent butt was V-E-R-Y painful, so put on a Shooter's Friend Recoil Pad to fix that. Awesome firepower and a blast to shoot.
I could listen to your stories about gun history for days. Thanks.
I've got the Browning Model 71, which is the Browning-marked Winchester Model 71, which was nothing less than a Winchester reissue of the original Winchester Model 1886, but in a new caliber offering for the time, i.e., the .348 Winchester. Mine's an amazingly accurate rifle for its type.
Personally, I like the videos with some history the most. The more I hear about John Browning, the more amazed I am.
I had one of these in 1989. I handloaded 350 grain Hornady bullets to about 1800 fps and took a 400 pound black bear in Minnesota with one shot! It was a great rifle but I constantly regretted the fact that it was not made by Winchester in America so I sold it. Great memories of a great time in my life, a young man with a 45-70 lever action hunting in the northwoods.
Thanks for the history lessons - some of us youngins do appreciate it! I love these nostalgia videos that you do, keep it up sir!
Worked for Browning U.K. in the eighties and I'm sure I saw one of these engraved with three types of gold, white, red, and yellow. I think it was part of a anniversary run. Handled an Auto 5 engraved with duck hunting scenes in these 3 types of precious metals. They are out there, somewhere.
It's so cool to go back and watch some of your somewhat older videos.
Thumbs up for your excellent "right there in firearms genius John Browning's shop" history lesson.
Second I laid eyes on that lever action with how the bolt sets up through the slide I fell in love ... Now I want one !
+Tyler Tranni Yep, it doesn't get any better than the 1886 and the 1892 Winchesters, which are essentially the same rifles, with the difference being size and chambering. Love them both!
Man!!! Best acoustics.....45-70. Thanks Hickok
So nice and slick! Never shot one of these, but my Dad and I each have a Winchester 71, in 348 Win that is basically a carbine version of the 86. Fantastic rifles!
Love to listen to your history about guns please keep up your
Passion on these videos
I've Got the Browning 1886 Carbine in the 22 inch barrel length . Excellent gun Love the .45-70 gov round
Some may not appreciate a story like that, but I find the history involved in the development of great firearms to be fascinating. Thanks!
Watching this was the perfect backdrop to unpacking a new toy.
You are an incredible teacher and storyteller, Hickok. This video was a real joy to watch with my morning coffee.
More interesting than the History Channel!
love it, always had an interest in the .45-70.
Amazing vid! Easily one of the best youtubers going! Thanks for spending all this time filming and posting your videos on youtube, hickok! We really appreciate it :)
Very beautiful rifle. I had to come back and watch again after breakfast just to see that Browning again.
Great video, and great rifle.
I love shooting my Marlin 1895 Cowboy 45/70. Something about the report from those rounds coming out of that rifle just warms my heart.
The History you go into is one of my favorite things of watching your videos on these types of firearms. I really enjoy history and if you ever get a hankering to do a historical video at one of the Tennessee battlefields from the War between the States I would love to see it. With your enfield rifled musket etc. Anyway, thanks for the history lesson and the shooting. Now I have another gun I am going to aspire to.
JMB was truly an innovator. Thanks for the awesome history lesson hickok!
I've been wanting one of those for a long time. Actively shopping for a nice example. I enjoy the history part of your presentations so keep 'em coming. You have a nice collection. It's fun to see them in action. Thanks.
Thanks for the video hickok, what an amazing gun.
Great vid Hickok and please keep the history coming!
i found a .47/70 shell in the woods, that is One Big round, especially next to a .308 and .30-30. i'm glad to hear the history, and that is one nice shirt.
I always wanted an 1886 Winchester and after watching your video a few years ago for the first time it made me think of trying to get one again. Luckily I was able to pick up a Winchester/Miroku .45-70 Model 1886 Short Rifle a couple years ago when Winchester did a limited production of it's “historical rifle” models, it is a great rifle.
Man that range has changed over the years
Excellent video. Thank you for posting this!
Very nice! The smooth sound of that rack in just sweeeet
one of the best guns ever designed and my all time favorite
Hickok , watch your video's all the time ,love them and thank you. I also have this rifle purchased back in 1986 also when it came out. Haven't fired it yet. Don't yell at me hahaha. Ordered it and shipped to a dealer same as you without seeing it. Beautiful rifle
thanks for sharing. and yes i do enjoy history like this
thank you for the informative information.
Great video , l love mine it's chambered in 45-90 !
Have one too,,, one of 500
This gun came up on used gun sales in Australia and I had to get it! I made sure the serial number was consistent with the centennial model and snapped it up. Cost me a pretty penny but is worth every cent. Never selling it.
this is the most beautiful gun in the world.. no doubt about that..! wish i could lay my hand on 1 too :) specially the octagon barrel.. very nice!
Thanks for the history lesson!
It's basically Hickock's backyard. He lives out in the sticks and has a large property. In other clips you can see enough to realize his front door and side porch are immediately to his right and his driveway is immediately to his left.
Gawd! I love that bang-clank anvil chorus when he gets going.
What a beautiful rifle. A real work of art.
Another great video - thank you!!
thank you for your videos ! I have one of these guns and it's Very interesting to hear you talk about it, greetings from Switzerland!
I love when he gives us the history on his firearms
Nice one, thanks for another lever action video!
whow....what a great gun....ty for this presentation video sir...
What a fine gun & cool T-Shirt, too!
beautiful rifle, I'm glad you did this video
Thanks. The historical data is always interesting. I've always loved the "real story" or history behind these firearms. The old west is my favorite era. I guess thats why I like biographies better than fiction. "The truth is stranger than fiction." Keep it up.
Bringing out my favorite. Those are such a nice gun, soo smooth for such a bilky design, he was the master of design
Good morning Brother Greg,,,Hey, just a note here,,,I've noticed that in this video I think one previous video, you just started ending the video with,,,LIFE IS GOOD...Just noting your forever now famous quote...
Love from SW Ohio,,,Neil 😊
Oh,,love this tool,,love bout all lever guns myself...
This is my favorite rifle video you have done
Got 2 1894 wonchesters 115 yrs old that gun wont touch em
Nice shot-sound!
Thats awesome, that gun looks fun to shoot, and you have a nice shot
I have interest in two distinct categories of firearms: Military rifles from WWI and newer and "Guns of the Old West." Thanks for highlighting that grand ol rifle. I try to follow the Ten Commandments, but after seeing that 1886 lever gun, I am having real trouble with that "shall not covet" Man, what a gun!
Haven’t been able to get my hands on one but I did get a pedersoli 45-70 Winchester with 26 inch barrel straight hand sanded and varnished and color case hardened smooth as the browning if not more a exceptional rifle
I too am a fan of the .45-70, I have a 1st generation 1895 Marlin that is a friend indeed. Great video, and nice history lesson Hickok. You're a 1st rate shooter and gentleman.
thats an amazing gun, looks awesome too
oh yeah the Winchester 1886 is instant classic in my book
Nice gun Hickok, you seem to always have another beauty to pull out. I love Browning firearms. I swear they are all that smooth. I paid the extra money a couple years ago for a Browning BPS 12ga NWTF edition shotgun and the same thing... it was as slick as butter on a doorknob. I can hold the barrel up, push the release and the slide will cycle itself. Great machine work on the Brownings. Nice video!!
Had to come back and watch this great video again, Hickok. Your history presentation on the Winchester repeater was worth the watch again. I'm shooting an original Winchester 1886 (manufactured in 1896) chambered in 40-82. Great gun...and yes, like you said, it was very pricey! Winchesters in relatively good condition are going for several thousand dollars.
Got here from weaponseducation's latest vid about Browning. Good history lessons!
I love lever guns, espeacially with the octagon barrels. My buddie owns a Henry .44mag with brass all over it. Very good and informitve vid.
Hickok45 FTW
That was one great vid... Learned alot... 5stars
That rifle certainly doesn't have any trouble ejecting the spent casings... haha it throws em very far. Beautiful... Beautiful gun
The compound looks very different in 2017, classic video!
I need cubic money after watching these videos. So many beautiful guns and so little money.
you're rock man!!! Greetings from Brazil!
Nice video THANKYOU it's now on my shopping list
CHEERS !
Hey I'd love to hear about the history of some of your guns! That would an excellent vid!!!
You could review a squirt gun and i wouldn't tune out!!! The history is what makes it interesting.
Beautiful !
What a beauty. My dream rifle.
My favorite gun ever!!!
Nice gun hickok, I have a Winchester model 94 Golden Spike Commemorative
awesome gun. Awesome shirt.
Hi Hichock45, what do you think abut the Browning blr take down model, that they now build? I hope you will find the time to answering my question. Best regards Daniel
hey hickok45! great vid, i love the history of the guns, i have a question, here in michigan, we cant use rifles in the lower half of the state, only shotgun during deer season, can you recommend a good slug gun? i have an h&r "pardner" single action in three inch magnum, and i think the barrel must be warped or somethng, ive tried everything, but every shot comes out like three feet low and to the left, any suggestions?
I wish upon a star that Winchester would bring out a modernized version of their 1895 (TR's gun) box-magazine lever-action. That could handle virtually any cartridge.
I LOVE that T-shirt. Where can I get one? And of course, all your videos are very informative and I regularly watch your channel.
Man, that is sweet :) I'd like to go huttin' a bison with that beauty! I like watchin' you vids, hickok45, 'cause it's like being in an outdoor classroom gettin' schooled. Thank you for the post, sir!
That rifle is a real piece of art. They go for 4x what you paid for it back in the 80's. That's what I call an investment. When it comes to John Browning a lot of people don't know that he started his first gun before he was a teenager, that would be the rolling block that Winchester bought. The first one was a 22 for rabbit hunting.
For your information, PMC ammunition makes the large bore ammo for the old 1886 rifles.
Just not the .45-70, but all the other calibers that Winchester had.
I use the .40-65-260 in my ol' 86'.
All are smokeless power that I know of..
I WANT ONE OF THOSE TEE-SHIRTS :) Great Vid
Great Video! I was just trying to imagine shooting a firearm like that back in the day when it was black powder. Can you imagine how 45-70 was the cartridge back in the .45 cal slug with 70 grains of powder. Hence the name but you probably knew that. Boy do I want a lever gun.
@deadtofall666 , Thanks. I never liked scopes much; however, if my eyesight ever requires it, I might have optical sights on everything I own, including my little NAA .22 Mag. :-)
What is the distance to the gong on the top of the hill? I've never heard Hickok45 say.
First off, I enjoy your videos and I wanted to say thanks for sharing your knowledge of classic firearms with us! Secondly, I wanted to ask your opinion. I'm intersted in a 45-70 lever-gun and I'm having a difficult time deciding. I keep returning to Winchester's "new" model 1886, but I wasn't sure about the quality of Miroku's craftsmanship. As a man who has obvious field experience with many lever-actions, what's your opinion? Other obvious contenders are the Marlins. Thanks Hickok!
Ever since I was a kid I thought this was the most beautiful lever action. Maybe, just maybe someday..
I love firearm history! :D
You tearing up there at the end? Haha, great vid.
Browning's 1911 isn't the only gun he designed that's still in use by our military.
The big ol' M2.
I think it's about time the old 1886 45-70 gets back in front of the camera. What a great. I have one these Miroku manufactured 1886's as well. I dare say they might have done a better job than Winchester. What a nice rifle.
Hickok... Love your videos, you should do a video on John Browning himself and all of the great designs he's responsible for! (At least all the designs you could get your hands on, Ma Deuces are usually in short supply in my neck of the woods at least)
Browning is a legend.
@beyondguitars ,
I have the stock sights right now. I put a Lyman tang sight on it a few years ago, but I have it off currently.
I can only wonder what John Browning would come up with using modern tools, materials, and ammunition. He was truly a master of his craft.
Wonderfull !
I'm curious, Owen. What sort of saddle rifle-scabbard configuration do you use?
Yes, if you have any decent firearm collection, it is hard to not own a design from Browning. He is easaly one of the best firearm designers of all time. I own a 30A lever action for hunting, and they sure do tear up your thumb on loading, lol. By the way, nice shirt, and great video as ussual.
@hickok45 , Thanks for the response. I can't find any negative press either. I like the Winchester's looks and feel the best, and it's probably going to find a home soon. Keep up the good work sir!
