The 1886 model, patented by John Browning in 1884 was brought to Winchester’s attention while the two companies were negotiating for manufacturing rights to the 1885 High Wall and Low Wall. The 1886 was to become Winchester’s Big Game repeater, often seeing action in Africa, and became Theodore Roosevelt’s favorite until it ceased production in 1932. Today, original ’86’s in good condition bring a big premium from hunters and collectors. The Cimarron Model 1886 is every bit as strong and accurate as the original at 1/10th the price.
