The development of a large-bore repeating rifle resumed again in 1873 and 1874, Using receivers based upon the Model 1868 frame, development of a large-bore repeating rifle began in 1873 and after some refinements, prototypes were presented to the public at the 1876 International Exhibition in Philadelphia. Because this public debut occurred on the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the new Winchester Model 1876 was named the Centennial Rifle.
