The Winchester Model 1887 is one of the earliest repeating shotguns associated with John Browning's work, and it helped define lever-action firepower in the late 19th century. Built for fast follow-up shots and a distinctive manual of arms, the Winchester Model 1887 remains a collector-favorite with strong historical appeal. Today, it sits in a niche market where originality, condition, and provenance matter most.
