The Winchester Model 1886 rifle was designed by John Browning and introduced in 1886 as a response to the demand for a stronger lever-action rifle. It featured an innovative, solid frame that allowed it to handle larger, more powerful cartridges, including the .45-70 Government. Known for its reliability and accuracy, the Model 1886 quickly became popular among hunters and frontiersmen.
