The Winchester 1886 was one of John Browning's finest designs, and the Taylors & Company Ridge Runner Takedown brings it into the modern era without losing what made it great in the first place. Built in Italy by Chiappa with modern steel and rifling twist rates suited to today's ammunition, this .45-70 Government lever gun is set up for hunters who cover real ground. The takedown system works like the original Winchester 1892 setup, using interrupted threads on the receiver so the barrel and magazine tube come off cleanly. That means the whole rifle packs down small enough to strap to a pack or stash behind a truck seat on the way to camp.
The 18.5 inch half-octagon barrel keeps the overall length at a handy 37.5 inches, and it comes threaded 5/8×24 with a muzzle brake installed from the factory. That brake takes real bite out of stout .45-70 loads, and a thread protector is included if you'd rather run the barrel clean or add your own device. Sighting is handled by a Skinner peep rear integrated with a Weaver rail and a fiber optic front, a combination that picks up quick in low timber light and holds up to rough handling. The stock is walnut underneath a black rubber SoftTouch coating, so you get the feel of real wood with a grippy, weather-shrugging surface. Sling mounts and a D-shaped lever loop round out the field-ready setup.
At 7.8 pounds with a 4+1 capacity, this is a genuine go-anywhere rifle for deer, hogs, black bear, and anything else in North America. The .45-70 has been putting big game down for well over a century, and modern loads have only made it better. Pair that with a compact takedown package, weatherproof furniture, and sights you can trust when a shot comes fast, and you have a lever action that earns its spot in the truck instead of collecting dust in the safe.
It uses the same style of takedown system found on the original Winchester 1892, with interrupted threads on the receiver. The barrel and magazine tube twist off the receiver as one unit, no tools required. That lets the rifle break down into two compact pieces for a pack, a case, or behind a seat.
Yes, the brake comes installed from the factory on the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle, and it makes a noticeable difference with heavier .45-70 loads. A thread protector cap is also included, so you can remove the brake and run the barrel plain or swap on a different muzzle device.
The rear sight assembly includes an integrated Weaver rail along with the Skinner peep, so you have a mounting point built in. Keep in mind the 1886 is a top-eject action, so a long eye relief scout-style optic or a compact red dot tends to work better than a traditional scope sitting directly over the ejection port.
It's the best of both. Underneath is a walnut stock and forend, coated in a black rubberized SoftTouch finish. You get the solid feel of wood with a grippy, weather-resistant surface that handles rain, snow, and rough country better than a bare oiled finish.
