Go to Winchester M94 and check this out. A great cartridge for the younger/smaller hunters that prefer to use this classy lever action for deer hunting. Lawdog

Very cool!!!

Yeah Baby!

My uncle inherited one of these from my grandfather; he "found" it in the woods one spring, as the story goes, "standing up against a tree."

Pops was a surveyor for Douglas County, Wisconsin, so the story is plausible.

Anyway, my Uncle took it to a smith to have it checked out and appraised. According to the smith, it was probably built circa 1916. The stock is Apple, which seems to make sense if most of the Walnut was going into military firearms.

Supposedly I'm in line to inherit it, but that could be a while...

Love to buy one of the new Winchesters, but a little tight on the supply end right now

p.s. My grandfather preferred that rifle over anything he had--he was a good shot and never had trouble taging his deer!

I have a very nice old 25-35 Win. oct. rifle for sale in the classified...

Its for sale or trade on a SRC in 25-35....

That is a beauty for sure.
Octogan barrels and case hardened receivers make a fine looking rifle. The lines are there too. I identify with the time that those rifles were popular. Up here where I live, there are many pictures of men from that era hunting with rifles like that. They were mostly lumbermen, as norther Michigan was built on the lumber industry, back 100 to 150 years ago.
Love that rifle. Thanks for the post.

Yes, I killed my first elk and deer with a Win. M-94 carbine and a number of both thereafter for a number of years..My dad killed probably 50 elk and sever 18 wheelers full of deer with one...that was before I knew it wasn't enough gun for deer much less elk..all I knew is that it sure carried better on my horse and wasn't in the way like a bolt rifle...Come to think of it, I never lost nor saw anyone loose an elk or deer with it, just like my .338 it always killed everything I shot with it...Hmmmmmmm
