I used to carry a Winchester 1886, chambered for .45 - 90 in my Power Wagon. They were a great team. I gave the Winchester to my brother, so the team is split up now. My uncle got that old rifle from a prarie trapper when my uncle was in High School, he's almost eighty now. A local gunsmith told me that this 1886 was the earliest one that he had ever seen, serial number from about 1890.
