Winchester Model 1895 High Grade 405 Win 24" Lever Action

A Rifle of Legend

The Winchester Model 1895 stands as one of the most historically significant rifles ever produced. Designed to accommodate the new generation of smokeless powder cartridges, it was among the first rifles to incorporate a non-detachable box magazine—a revolutionary feature that enabled the use of pointed bullets and changed sporting rifle design forever.

This High Grade version honors that legacy with meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Design and Heritage

The Model 1895 was the rifle President Theodore Roosevelt called his "Big Medicine" on his famous African safari. It became the preference of major world powers; Russia alone purchased nearly 300,000 rifles before World War I. Today's iteration maintains every bit of the integrity, reliability, and accuracy that made it legendary.
