The Winchester Model 1876 One of One Thousand rifle represents the absolute upper tier of 19th-century American firearms. With only around 55 “One of One Thousand” examples produced out of roughly 68,000 Model 1876 rifles, these guns were singled out by Winchester for superior accuracy — making them rare not just in number, but in performance.
This first-year production, open-top example showcases the details that define investment-grade Winchesters, from the crisp “One of One Thousand” barrel legend to its documented period inscription. It stands as a powerful reminder of how Winchester identified and elevated its very best rifles during the golden age of American gunmaking.
