“model 94”

This year in honor of the 200th anniversary of Oliver F. Winchester’s birth, Browning/WRAC has produced a commemorative Model 94.

I’m just guessing, mind you, but I believe the first American deer rifle was the Model 94 Winchester. To be sure, a lot of deer fell to Model 73s, Marlins, Trapdoor Springfields and flintlocks, but the first sporting deer rifle was the 94. Since that iconic rifle there have been a whole lot more.

Always a leader in generational deer rifles—see the Model 94 lever-action, pre-’64 Model 70 “Rifleman’s Rifle” and the later, push-feed version of the Model 70—Winchester has jumped into the fray with its new XPR.

Perhaps the most opinionated argument of all time is, “What’s the best gun?” It all comes down to an unscientific determining factor known as “what I like.” That said, here are 10 firearms every hunter just has to have.

For those of us born in the middle of the last century there is a romantic connection to the lever-action rifle.

While firearm suppressors protect hunters’ and shooters’ hearing, their regulation under the National Firearms Act of 1934 requires buyers to fill out an application, pay a $200 tax and go through a time-consuming background check—and that’s in the 41 states that permit them.

As we approach the anniversary of the announcement of our independence, and the greatest upset in history, let’s take a look at the five most iconic American hunting rifle designs.
