The Model 94, which is the most popular Winchester lever in history and has taken more deer than any other rifle on earth.

The venerable Winchester Model 1886 with its stout action was designed for cartridges like the 45-70. The Single Shot Model 1885, John M.Browning’s first rifle design, is offered in a variety of great calibers. The Model 1892 Carbine is the rifle that was carried by Chuck Connors, John Wayne and many others in your favorite western movies. Not shown in the ad but also available is the Model 71, a lever-action rifle based on the earlier Model 1886, made to handle the 348 Winchester smokeless cartridge especially designed for this model.
Consider the fitting of metal to walnut, the smoothness of the levers, the easy of shouldering and the fun of shooting these nostalgic Winchester lever-actions. The Model 94, for instance, comes in a Short Rifle or Sporter style with walnut stocks, blued forearm caps a steel loading gate, traditional buttplates and adjustable rear sights, and button-rifled barrels with recessed crowns. The Model 1886 is available in a Short Rifle, caliber 45-70 Govt. that's ideal for elk and bear.

These calibers are ideal for deer hunting or for Cowboy Action Shooting because they work in revolvers as well. The Model 1885 Single Shot Traditional Sporter is an exact copy of the original design with a very strong lockup for optimum accuracy.
