Nice to have money.
Beautiful gun. Wonder what the original price was.
To: jazusamo
eh, wouldn’t buy it for $10 personally. But to each their own.

Thanks for posting jazusamo, beautiful rifle, I have a Uberti replica of the 1873 Winchester in 44-40. Fine shooter.
To: jazusamo
The '86 is a great rifle - I have had several of them and they are rugged, smooth and accurate. They also kick like a moose in most of their issued calibers (like .38-56 .40-82, .45-70, .45-90, .50-110 Express, etc.)
$1.2M is a lot of money - just means that the really rich have a lot of money to burn. If you want a decent '86, choice examples abound in the $4K - 5K range. Browning and Winchester both made good replicas recently and can be had for just over a $1K and occasionally less.

Great post. Thanks!
I love my Winchesters. I have a model 94 I was given when I was 18 and I must have put close to 60000 rounds through it over the last 40 years. I’ve had to replace the action once, the barrel twice, and the stock 4 times, but it feels great to have the same gun for this long.

Thank you for the posting. Fine story and a fine rifle with excellent history. I have had only one Model 1886. It was in .45-70 and had a half magazine.

One MOH winner to another, and the serial number is 1. Just damn. Whoever parted with a mil and a quarter for it got a good deal.

I had a great grand uncle who had a Henry Rifle he brought back from the Great Cattle (beefsteak) Raid. With that provenance, I wonder how much it would be worth now.
