Is the 1886 45/70 still been built?
« on: March 14, 2004, 09:07:14 AM »
I was reading a lot about the 45/70 in the 1886 model that was built in Japan under licence by Winchester . Was this just a special rerun of browning or are they still being made ?
I was looking on the web and can not find anything in Canada.

:D  Harry, while they are no longer in production, some are still available. I'm not sure what the rules are concerning imports to Canada, though. Some sites are offering them for as little as US$599.
I get my kicks from an 1886.

Harry, I see in the Shotgun News that CDNN in Texas has the Lightweight version for $599 U.S. dealer price and the Deluxe model for $979.99 The retail is $1156 and $1447. The Tel. is 1-800-588-9500. You have to shop around to find the Regular Models.  Horsefeathers.
