In the realm of classic firearms, few rifles embody the spirit and legacy of American craftsmanship quite like the Winchester Model 1895 High Grade. This is not merely a rifle; it is an enduring symbol of innovation and rugged reliability, much admired by hunters and historians alike.
The Model 1895 was one of the first to feature a non-detachable box magazine, setting a new standard in firearm design. It gained fame as "Big Medicine" during President Theodore Roosevelt's legendary African safari, proving its mettle in some of the most challenging conditions known to man. Its historical significance is further underscored by its adoption by major global powers—most notably Russia’s procurement of nearly 300,000 units before World War I.
This particular iteration boasts a scalloped receiver paired with a two-piece lever that complements its Schnabel forearm and straight grip stock—a testament to both form and function. The barrel and receiver are polished to perfection, presenting an elegant glossy deep black/blue finish that speaks volumes about Winchester's commitment to excellence.
The walnut stock and forearm are meticulously fitted with traditional cut checkering that ensures both beauty and grip stability under any circumstance. The Model 1895 High Grade remains chambered for various cartridges including the venerable .405 Winchester caliber—ideal for those who appreciate quick handling characteristics combined with pointed bullet capability.
