Winchester 1876 Centennial Rifle in 50-95 WCF

That is one sweet rifle and yes I agree with you, A rifle needs to have an appeal about it and hopefully some interesting history to go along with it like yours does. I have a few savage model 1920's bolt action rifles that check the right boxes for me, these rifles were sometimes known as the first light weight mountain rifle produced by a rifle manufacturer back in the day..

Thank you for watching and leaving a kind comment. The Savage model 1920 rifles are definitely great rifles, it's too bad they are no longer manufactured. I would like to build a custom rifle based on that action, chambered in 284 Winchester.

That would look beautiful in a nice saddle scabbard on a elk hunt . Thanks mark for all the knowledge on these rifles an the shout out

Thank you for watching and giving me the inspiration to make the video. This rifle would be a solid choice for an Elk hunt, although, your horse would protest at the weight of this rifle.

The longer action must help feed those 50's. Really enjoy your channel. Keep em coming:)

Thank you for watching, Mike. These model 1876 rifles, as you noted, have much longer actions than the model 1873. The action is also wider and deeper than the 1873. Unfortunately, I do not possess a Winchester model 1873 to compare in the video. Although the action is also a toggle link, it is much more robust than the smaller rifle. These 1876 rifles are also quite heavy and do not carry well. This rifle has a 30" barrel and is rather muzzle heavy. The North West mounted Police replaced these rifles with the Lee Enfield in 1895.

I have also been enjoying your competition series at the Canastota Conservation Club.

I look forward to see your new 6 BR in action at the matches.
