#SundayGunday: Winchester Model 94 Sporter

by
posted on August 26, 2018

The Winchester Model 94 is arguably the greatest lever-action deer rifle of all time. More than 7 million have been produced during its storied history, accounting for more venison than any other rifle ever fired at a deer. One of the latest versions is the Model 94 Sporter, which evokes nostalgia with a half-round, half-octagonal barrel, full-length magazine and straight-grip buttstock capped with a crescent-shaped steel buttplate. But the Model 94 Sporter has plenty of modern features as well, including a rebounding hammer, tang-mounted safety, and drilled-and-tapped receiver. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Executive Editor Adam Heggenstaller. MSRP: $1399.99; winchesterguns.com.

Field Tested: Federal Heavyweight TSS

Last year, I had the pleasure of travelling to the Yucatan peninsula in search of ocellated turkey. Over the course of the hunt, however, I also got to see Federal Heavyweight TSS at work in the field on not just turkey, but the elusive coatimundi, which is a significantly tougher proposition. Read on for my thoughts on this incredibly effective shotshell.

Review: Winchester 400 Legend
