Winchester Model 1895 High Grade 30-06 Springfield

A Rifle of Legend

The Winchester Model 1895 stands as one of the most historically significant rifles ever produced. Originally designed to accommodate the new generation of smokeless powder cartridges and pointed bullets, this lever-action rifle revolutionized sporting rifle design worldwide. It was the rifle President Theodore Roosevelt carried on his famous African safari—the one he called his "Big Medicine."

Design and Engineering

The Model 1895's innovative non-detachable box magazine was groundbreaking for its time, allowing shooters to safely chamber more powerful pointed bullets. This design made it the preference of major world powers; Russia alone purchased nearly 300,000 rifles before World War I.
