Description

The Winchester Model 1885 Hunter Rimfire is a single-shot falling-block rifle chambered in .17 WSM (17 Winchester Super Magnum). The design traces back to John Browning's original 1885 action, and Winchester's current production version keeps the classic lines while adding an adjustable trigger and a full octagon barrel.

Detailed Features

The brushed polished finish gives it a distinctive look while holding up to normal field use. The full octagon barrel is accurate and also pays homage to period-correct aesthetics. The adjustable trigger is a practical feature. Being able to dial in pull weight matters at longer rimfire distances where the .17 WSM's flat trajectory rewards precise shooting.

The semi-buckhorn rear sight pairs with a bead front for quick acquisition. At 7.80 lbs with a 24-inch barrel, it handles well from a bench or in a hunting blind.

What Reviewers Say

Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews. Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.

It is really a simple and effective design that's still around and it still works well to this day.

Ron Spomer Outdoors

It's a fun gun i mean it is just so much fun to run that action and pop those shells in and out.

Ron Spomer Outdoors

I think that slim little forend is not ideal obviously for working off of bags at range shooting.

Ron Spomer Outdoors

That's just so fun to shoot there's no recoil almost no sound.

Customers Say

AI-generated insights derived from customer reviews and discussions on popular gun-enthusiast forums.

The Winchester 1885 in .17 WSM gets consistent praise for its accuracy. The .17 WSM cartridge's flat trajectory and high velocity make it genuinely effective at distances where most rimfires fall off. Hunters appreciate it for small game where the caliber hits harder than .22 LR or .17 HMR at range.

Common criticisms are practical: the single-shot action slows down for fast follow-up shots, and some owners find 7.80 lbs heavier than expected for a rimfire. Build quality is generally regarded as solid, fitting Winchester's reputation for this model line.
