Description

The classic 1895 configuration of all time. Superbly crafted. Grade I walnut, straight grip, checkering, gloss blued finish, button rifled
Legendary. Here is an opportunity to own a unique part of the Winchester legacy. It was one of the first rifles to incorporate a non-detachable box magazine. This is the rifle Teddy Roosevelt took on his famous African safari, the one he called his “Big Medicine.” This is the rifle that became the preference of major powers worldwide, with Russia alone purchasing nearly 300,000 1895s just before World War I. It has a scalloped receiver, two-piece lever, Schnabel forearm and straight grip stock. The barrel and receiver have been polished to give it a glossy, deep black/blue appearance. The walnut stock and forearm have been precisely fit and finely checkered.
