Featherweight. You get all the same, famous styling and fit of the Featherweight Classic -- the rifle voted "Rifle of the Year" by the Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence -- in a version with our standard recessed bolt face design. The American walnut stock is beautifully carved in the classic straight comb style with a schnabel fore-end. The distinctive cut checkering instantly identifies this rifle as a Featherweight. This well-known, all-around rifle is available in all the prevalent, modern, long and short action calibers.

Lightweight. This is a lighter, easier handling rifle. It does cross-over duty, excelling in brushy conditions requiring quickness, or in high country situations where reduced weight becomes a real advantage after a day of hiking. The American walnut stock is cut checkered with the sharp diamonds that offer the best grip. The classic-style straight comb stock offers excellent scope alignment. The jeweled bolt provides a level of good looks to match the stock and deep, polished bluing.

Ranger. Low on glamour. High on performance! The Model 70 Ranger is not a show gun--unless your sole aim is to make a strong impression on a deer or other big game. If that's the case, then nothing gives you more shooting advantages, at a better price, than a Model 70 Ranger. The barrel, receiver and recessed-style bolt are of the same material and fine construction you get on our other Model 70s. The satin-finished hardwood stock is made for hard work -- you won't wince when you have to bust brush. Fitted with adjustable sights and drilled and tapped for a scope.

Ladies/Youth Ranger. This scaled-down version of the standard Ranger (above) is the ideal first deer rifle. Smaller shooters will also appreciate how its stock dimensions give a fit that instills confidence from the very first. Even the pistol grip is farther forward to accommodate smaller hands. At 6 1/2 pounds total weight, it's a rifle that won't slow you down.

DBM. How do you give even more utility to a Model 70 Sporter? Add a detachable box magazine (and that's what DBM stands for). All other features and advantages are the same as the Sporter models below. Some hunters prefer the convenience of being able to carry a loaded magazine completely removed from the rifle while traveling. When it comes time to hunt it takes just seconds to insert the loaded magazine. You can also carry a loaded spare magazine in your pocket for easy loading when your hands are cold. For other features see the Sporter model, below.

When you take a Winchester Model 94 in hand expect to be swept away in the thrill of 19th-Century American West nostalgia. But the 94 is more than a good feeling. It's more than a piece of history.

The 94 is a rifle that works as good as it's designed. And you can instantly sense it every time you slide a cartridge into the magazine and work the lever. Solid function like this is the result of sound design, better materials and the highest quality craftsmanship.
