Chambered in .30-30 Winchester, this lever-action carbine features a 20-inch octagon barrel, smooth straight-grip walnut stock, and a combination of blued steel with gold-plated accents.

The Centennial 66 was deliberately styled to recall Winchester’s very first rifle, the 1866 “Yellow Boy,” with its brass-colored receiver, forend cap, buttplate, and saddle ring. Offered in both 20-inch carbine and 26-inch rifle versions, as well as special matched sets with consecutive serial numbers, this edition became Winchester’s first major commemorative release and set the standard for future commemorative lever guns. Beyond its eye-catching presentation, the Centennial 66 holds historical importance as the rifle that launched Winchester’s long tradition of special editions, making it both a collector’s favorite and a symbolic tribute to a century of American firearms innovation.
