Designed by world-famous firearms savant, John M. Browning, the single-shot falling block lever action design gained significant popularity among Creedmoor match shooters in the late 1800s. The design was purchased by Winchester and implemented into factory production in collaboration with Mr. Browning, under the nomenclature Model 1885. This venerable design still produces consistent accuracy in a remarkably simple, strong, and short action.
