[Spots]

I have a NIB, unfired Winchester 1886 24" short rifle, full length magazine chambered in .45-70. Rifle comes in orginal Winchester box with all paperwork, etc. Price includes 100 mixed rounds of .45-70, all factory ammo. Price is $1900 FTF in or around Knoxville/Oak Ridge area. I can add any additional pictures you would like to see.  My only trade interest is a Winchester 1895 in .30-06 which is what Im selling this rifle to fund. Thanks

AW DUDE!  I hate to see you sell that wonderful rifle without at least trying it out. I'm betting if you did, you'd keep it.

The 1895 handles like a 4x4 post in my opinion. The 1886 was the pinnacle of Winchester levers.

Yeah, I know. Its just to close to Christmas to be dropping a ton of money on another rifle so I gotta sell one to buy one to keep the Missus happy

Really? I have never handled a 95, and this is my first 86. My 94 was a probably the handiest little lever gun Ive owned but I like oddball stuff and always have. I found a Winchester 1895 High Grade engraved in .30-06 and Im kinda drawn to fancy guns so I took a liking to it. I never considered it would handle worse than the 86 as I do really love the feel of this one.
