Thread: Winchester Model 1894

Biggest selling sporter centrefire in history and an absolute classic. 2nd biggest seller is the Marlin 336 - both excellent rifles in 30-30 esp for bush work in NZ and 0-250m shooting. Leverevolution ammo lifted there performance some.

I've had a 67-68 model and loved it, and also had a later 80s/early 90s angle eject model - again a gem. The last Winchester made ones apparently not quite so good. Pre 64 favoured for better construction - not pressed steel components, and latest Miroku made ones likely well made. But you don't NEED to go pre 64 or new Miroku - any Winny 94 will give you alot of fun.

Classic looks, beautiful balance, slim to carry and handle, and reasonable accurate with right load. I know God has one... just hope he's got two because I'm gonna be borrowing one of them..
