Taylors and Company TF 1886 TC86 45-70 Takedown 16.5in

The TF 1886 TC86 Takedown from Taylors and Company is a compact lever-action hunting rifle chambered in .45-70 Government with a 16.5-inch barrel. It pairs a color case-hardened receiver with a checkered walnut pistol grip and sling mounts for a traditional, functional appearance. The takedown design lets the rifle separate for easier transport and storage while preserving core handling characteristics.
