Interesting newer offering from Taylors, might be an alternative to the new Ruger made Marlin 1895 for some enthusiasts.

“The TC86 Takedown is a hunting rifle where style meets function. Made for the ultimate expedition, while maintaining a finish fit for a classic design. With the take down feature the rifle becomes a versatile companion for the hunt, the hike, or to hit the road. Choose your adventure! The color case receiver and checkered pistol grip walnut stock with sling mounts combine function with style. A rubber butt plate absorbs recoil, and the wide lever size allows for easy use in all conditions. This model includes the weaver rail sight with a skinner peep sight on it and a fiber optic front sight. A threaded cap is included and the muzzle brake thread is 5/8×24.”

The Winchester 1886 is larger and more complicated than a Marlin 1895, Made by Chiappa so not sure what the quality will be or if can be made in numbers large enough to meet demand. I'm gonna look for one and see what it is. Don't love the look of the rail on it but it allows options for sights to be added easily.

Looks good! I’ve had a few Winchester 1886’s.
I love ‘em. I’d pull that rail off and put on a skinner peep. Never had a Chiapa before though. Not sure of quality. Like you said, I wanna see one first.
