Our Assessment: The Winchester 1894 is probably the most recognizable rifle design in the world. Born of John Moses Browning’s design genius, it enabled Winchester to manufacture a light, handy rifle which could still chamber a powerful round. Millions of these rifles have been produced, and this one was made in 1926, when the firearms manufacturers were at the height of their quality. This is about the best 1894 SRC you will be able to find, even better in .32 WS. This one is a collector’s dream.
