From Outdoor Life's Deer Hunting Book, Maine Biggest Buck by Horace R. Hinkley.
"My rifle was one that very few of today's hunters have heard of, a Winchester Model 1886 in .33 caliber. In Maine we used to call it a moose gun because of its knockdown power." He indicates that the rear sight was a Lyman peep with the small center ring removed.
He also says that he had to replace in later years with a Remington 742 in 30-06 when the barrel "played out."
