Model 94 Returns!
Winchester’s signature firearm, the lever-action Model 94, is back! Check out the Outdoor Life testfire.
Winchester’s signature firearm, the lever-action Model 94, is being reborn this year to celebrate the 200th birthday of namesake Oliver Fisher Winchester. In 1862, Oliver Winchester agreed to market the Henry Rifle. Then in 1893 John M. Browning came along with a model that was the perfect match for the new 30-30 smokeless cartridge, and a legend was born. Winchester’s commemorative Model 94 was unveiled at the SHOT Show in Vegas. The SHOT Show kicks off with a media day, this year held at Desert Sportsman’s Rifle and Pistol Club outside Vegas. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

I bought my 94 when I was a senior in High School. My first deer was a spike in the National forest of Virginia. I used it for many years and it may not look like much now but it brings back many great memories everytime I pull it out of the safe.
Paid $30 for that 30-30 just shy of 30 years ago. My brother still has the gun. He used it once make a memorable shot that dropped a big whitetail as it flashed through the bush. It would be like selling an old friend to part with that rifle. Who doesn't like the way a 30-30 Model 94 carries and shoulders. I love the look of those high end Winchesters. I couldn't bring myself to carry that beauty into the field. I want a great looking rifle but I own them to use them not just display them in the living room. That will happen some time down the road.
I had one many years ago, close to thirty, traded it for a...I don't remember what, another gun or a bow, something like that. I have wondered where that gun ended up. I got it in a trade for a gun or a bow, too.
My first deer rifle, the famed 30-30.I thought I was like John Wayne.A small 6pt was my first deer killed with that great old rifle.The model 94 is an american legend and a great rifle.
Nice lookin levergun.My battered old 94 will never win any beauty contests,the first question most people ask when they want to borrow it is,"does that thing even work?",until they shoot it...it might be rough, but it shoots just fine.
