Our Assessment: The Model 1894 has been referred to as the “ultimate lever-action design” by firearms historians such as R. L. Wilson and Hal Herring. The Model 1894 is the rifle credited with the name “Winchester” being used to refer to all rifles of this type and was the first commercial sporting rifle to sell over 7,000,000 units. This is a Model 94 Classic with a saddle ring on the left side of the receiver and a 26” bore and has a bright bore with deep rifling. This one’s a beauty, drop a bid.
