Modern reproductions of the original John M. Browning designed Winchester Model 1885 single shot remain available today from Uberti (Italy), Miroku (Japan) and others. Fabricated of modern high strength steels and improved metallurgy, these are even stronger, safer, and more durable than their 19th century antecedents. . Chambered in it's original .45-70 Springfield caliber (1873) this rifle would still be practical today during the 21st century for hunting North American big game: deer, elk, moose, caribou, and even buffalo (bison). Even for bear. The .30-40 Krag (1892) chambered in this rifle would likewise be suitable as well. ---Jim Farmer Klamath County, Oregon

From what I understand John Moses Browning had made a few of his single shot rifles and filed the patent in like 1878. I have never read what calibers he was using on his before selling to Winchester. Do you know? I would assume the .45-70 but there were a lot of big calibers that would have been well suited to his design.

My brother had a 1886 33 win barreled by P.O. Ackley. Unfortunately he got into a gun trade and it is in the collection of a state trooper.

Sir, what is the name of the action on the 1886? Different from other lever actions that eject from the side. Thanks.
