Winchester Model 1895 High Grade Lever-Action Rifle
The Winchester Model 1895 stands as a testament to the evolution of sporting rifles, transcending its time with innovations that remain relevant today. This classic lever-action rifle is not merely a tool but an enduring piece of history, famously wielded by Teddy Roosevelt on his African safari—a true "Big Medicine" in his words.
Crafted with precision and care, the Model 1895 features a handsome Grade III/IV walnut stock with traditional cut checkering. The straight grip design ensures comfort and control for any shooter. Complementing this fine woodwork is a steel receiver and button-rifled barrel finished in gloss blued polish, offering both durability and an elegant appearance.
This model was one of the first to incorporate a non-detachable box magazine—an innovation that allowed it to chamber pointed bullets safely while utilizing smokeless powder cartridges like the .405 Winchester. Such capability set new standards in reliability and accuracy, making it favored among major powers worldwide during its heyday.
The rifle's functional elegance extends to its sights: equipped with Marble Arms gold bead front sight paired with a Buckhorn rear sight for quick target acquisition. For those seeking enhanced optics solutions, the drilled and tapped receiver accommodates side mount sights effortlessly.
Simplicity meets safety through its top tang safety mechanism while maintaining swift handling characteristics inherent in lever-actions. Each detail—from scalloped receivers to Schnabel forearms—has been meticulously designed to enhance your shooting experience without compromising on tradition or performance.
