Taylors and Company 1886 Ridge Runner | .45-70 | 18.5 in | 220091

The Taylors and Company 1886 Ridge Runner Take Down is a compact lever-action designed around the .45-70 Government cartridge with an 18.50-inch half-octagonal barrel and a take-down configuration for easier transport. The rifle ships with a blued metal finish, a SoftTouch black synthetic stock, a Skinner peep rear sight and a fiber-optic front sight, plus a muzzle brake and included threaded cap (5/8″x24). For optics, a low- to mid-power scope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 or an equivalent riflescope under $1,000 pairs well with the platform for short- to moderate-range shooting.

Applications for this rifle include big-game hunting at short to moderate ranges and field/bush hunting where a compact, take-down lever action is advantageous.
