LIGHT WEIGHT MODEL 1886 RIFLES 
.45-70 GOV’T. CALIBER 
Big game hunters who cling to the old reliable .45-70 Govern- 
ment cartridge will find that Winchester Model 1886 Light 
Weight Rifles made in that caliber will suit them in every 
way. They are lighter and handier than other rifles handling 
this cartridge, and, like all Winchester rifles, shoot strong and 
accurately and wear well. They are made with 22-inch round 
nickel steel barrels, in Solid Frame and Take-Down styles. The 
former weighs only about 6 3-4 pounds and the latter about 
7 pounds. This rifle and Winchester High Velocity Cartridges, 
which are made for it, make a very effective combination. 
Send for catalogue describing this and all 
Winchester Rifles and Ammunition.
