The Winchester Model 1876 "Centennial" rifle was Winchester's first large game rifle and provided significantly more firepower than its smaller 1866 and 1873 rifles. They were well-suited to hunters in the West who sought out more stopping power for hunting. This rifle was manufactured in 1885, the second year for the .40-60 W.C.F., and has a nickel-silver blade front sight, notch and folding ladder rear sight, standard markings, integral dust cover guide rail, an adjustable single set trigger, and smooth rifle forearm and stock (compartment empty).
