The Winchester M1866 (Model 1866) is a Sniper Rifle released during the 11-3-2010 Time Release.

Overview[]

The M1866 is the first lever-action sniper rifle introduced in Combat Arms. Its statistics are similar to the Dragunov SVDS in terms of damage but with a significantly higher rate of fire and near perfect accuracy. Although it does have the potential to one-hit kill players with light/recon vest, and in extremely unlikely cases medium vesters, It cannot one shot kill those wearing vests with increased protection (e.g. Heavy Vests). Its high rate of fire and near perfect accuracy make up for it, although the lever-action might throw off one's aim. Its scope magnification is slightly less than that of the standard sniper scope found on rifles like the L96A1 and the SR25. Its cross-hair on the scope is a plus sign in the middle with a small red dot as the reticle. It has a very fast reload, on par with the M4 Super 90. Despite having a higher listed Rate of Fire than the Dragunov SVD, the cocking animation pulls the muzzle out of line with the target for a longer period, requiring the player to re-aim after each shot.

It was sold again for permanent as part of the Best of 2011 Sale for 22,425 NX.
