The Taylor's & Company 1886 BB MKII 45-70 Tan/BK 19" is a modern lever-action rifle purpose-built for serious hunters and tactical shooters who demand reliability in demanding environments. Based on the proven 1886 Winchester platform, this Boarbuster variant bridges classic lever-action handling with contemporary ergonomics and finishes. The 45-70 Government cartridge has earned its reputation across over 150 years as one of North America's most versatile and powerful rifle rounds, equally capable at medium-range hunting or defense scenarios. This rifle serves operators and sportsmen seeking a compact, maneuverable rifle without sacrificing knockdown power or accuracy.
The 1886 BB MKII features a 19-inch barrel paired with a tan Cerakote finish on both the steel receiver and metal surfaces, providing superior corrosion resistance and a modern tactical aesthetic. The 5+1 round capacity—five rounds in the magazine tube plus one chambered—offers adequate firepower for most field applications while maintaining the rifle's compact profile. Peep rear sights and fiber optic front sight combination deliver both precision aiming and fast target acquisition in varied lighting conditions, critical for hunters working dawn or dusk. The tan/black color scheme breaks up silhouettes effectively while the robust steel construction ensures durability across harsh terrain, temperature extremes, and heavy use cycles typical in backcountry or professional environments.
This rifle excels for hunters pursuing large game where the 45-70's ballistics shine—elk, moose, and dangerous game at practical hunting ranges—and appeals equally to sport shooters and those requiring a reliable lever-action rifle for property defense. The compact 19-inch barrel reduces overall length to 37.44 inches, making it maneuverable in brush, vehicles, and tight spaces without the unwieldy profile of longer lever guns. The proven 1886 action cycles smoothly and reliably even when suppressive fire or rapid engagement becomes necessary. Shooters familiar with classic lever actions will find the MKII's interface intuitive, while the modern Cerakote finish and sighting system appeal to contemporary tactical preferences and extended shooting sessions without maintenance concerns.
