Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some rifle designs earn their keep for over a century, and the 1886 is one of them. The Taylors & Company 1886 Ridge Runner TD takes Browning's big-bore lever action and updates it for the modern hunter with a takedown frame, a matte chrome finish that shrugs off weather, and a black soft-touch coating over the wood stock that keeps your grip solid when it's wet or cold. Chambered in .45-70 Government with a 4+1 capacity, this thing carries enough thump for any big game animal walking North America.
The takedown design is the headline here. Separate the barrel assembly from the receiver and the rifle stows in a backpack, a short case, or behind the seat of a truck without a fuss, then goes back together in the field in seconds. At 7.8 pounds with an 18.5 inch half-octagon barrel, it balances nicely between quick handling and enough heft to soak up .45-70 recoil. The oversized D-shaped lever loop cycles smoothly even with gloves on, and sling swivels come standard for long walks in.
Up front you get a fiber optic sight that grabs light in dim timber, matched to a Skinner peep rear that is integrated with a Weaver-style rail, so adding a scope or red dot is simple if irons are not your thing. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a muzzle brake installed to tame the big cartridge, plus a thread protector cap if you would rather run it bare or mount a suppressor.
This rifle, built by Chiappa for Taylors & Company, blends classic 1886 lines with features that make sense today: corrosion resistance, optics options, suppressor threads, and true packability. For a guide gun, a brush rifle, or a hard-hitting lever gun that travels well, the Ridge Runner TD checks every box.
The barrel and magazine tube assembly separates from the receiver, splitting the rifle into two compact sections. That makes it easy to stash in a backpack, a short takedown case, or tight vehicle storage. Reassembly takes just seconds in the field and requires no tools.
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the common thread pitch for most .45 and .458 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. The rifle ships with a muzzle brake installed plus a thread protector cap, so you can run it three ways: brake, bare muzzle, or can.
You can. The rear Skinner peep sight is integrated with a Weaver-style rail, giving you a straightforward mounting point for a scout scope or red dot. Plenty of owners run the peep and fiber optic front as-is though, since that setup is fast and plenty accurate at typical .45-70 hunting distances.
Absolutely. The .45-70 Government has been dropping big game since 1873, and it delivers serious knockdown power on elk, moose, bear, and hogs inside 200 yards. The rifle's 7.8 pound weight and included muzzle brake help keep the stout recoil manageable, and the 18.5 inch barrel handles quick in thick brush.
