What better way to welcome back the timeless Winchester® Model 1894 than with a tribute to Oliver Fisher Winchester. The Model 1894 began at the workbench of John M. Browning, being the first sporting rifle to use smokeless powder. It has been said that the Model 1894 has taken more deer than any other rifle in the world, and with over six million sold, has become by far, the most popular rifle in history. This rifle will have an exquisite 24" half-round, half octagon deeply blued barrel. A buckhorn rear sight is matched with a Marble’s® gold bead front sight. The Custom Grade model has Grade IV/V walnut with a rich, high gloss finish to enhance the beautiful wood grain. Deep scroll engraving covers both sides of the blued receiver. Extreme polish, precision fitting and finishes adorn this breathtaking rifle commemorating the 200th anniversary of Oliver F. Winchester’s birth. An early Winchester Repeating Arms crest graces the left side of the receiver, with the right side bearing the words, "Two Hundred Years, Oliver F. Winchester," and the dates, "1810 — 2010," in gold. The barrel is deeply polished, with the signature of Oliver F. Winchester in gold on the top of the bolt. The Custom Grade Model 1894 is very limited. Only 500 Custom Grade rifles in sets with the High Grade will be offered.
