The arrival of the Winchester 1866 was a total blast, remaining in production till 1898, despite the models ‘73 and the ‘94 had already been marketed. Selling of the model 1866 were huge for the time average, all over the World.

The Winchester 1866 rifle is still a very interesting weapon today, popular with Cowboy Action shooters, western movies enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to own one of the most iconic rifles in the history of firearms.

Luckily you don’t need to buy a vintage piece (they fetch mind boggling prices on the market, even if not as high as the Henry), as the Uberti replicas are absolutely beautiful and available in several variants.
