Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors You're favorite Winchesters.

I have 4 Winchesters, A nice LH Model 70 and three lever actions. My favorites are the levers, maybe because as a kid in the 50's that's what everyone was using.
Took me awhile to gather these but sure do enjoy them. All of them are used for hunting, but at my age I favor the ones with scopes.
Top: Model 64, 1955, 30/30
Middle: Model 94 AE, before the stupid cross bolt safety, Redfield 2 1/2X 30/30
Bottome: Model 88, Post 64, started life as a 308, had it rebored to a 338 Federal, Leupold VX II 2-7X. Restocked with Fajen and glass bedded. This is a shooter even with it's crappy trigger.

Mine WOULD BE a Model 70 Extreme Weather SS in 6mm Remington if Winchester would only do it once, even if it was a limited one. I would buy one!!

My only Winchesters
1955 Model 88 in .308
1957 Model 12 Riot





This, though, is on the way
1958 Model 70 in .270

I have a nice Model 12 my wife got me for my birthday that I don't have photos of and a Model 70 in 300 H&H and one in 30-06. The 30-06 was the first Big Game Rifle I ever bought. I was 12 and got it out of the paper. It's a 1972 "G" Model, but she shoots.

Here's the few that I have...
My already seen .338. Model 70. 1959, and pip squeak Roosie.

.32 Special, model 94. 1913. Pip squeak mulie.

And my 1897 pump shotgun in 16 gauge. 1901. Big bird!

Here are my 2 favorites. The wood stocked one is a 30-06 and the one sitting in a McMillan is a 358 Norma that has since been ceracoated by Eddie and the scope updated to a matte 2.5x8

I have a model 70 in 338 win mag. It's a great rifle but here's my favorite. A model 61 with octagon barrel.

I only have one Winchester, and it is my favorite.

Have about a dozen pre-64 Winchesters and other lever guns.

Of all of them, my three favorite Winchesters are: a 94 30-30 mfg 1936, a 62A pump 22 mfg 1954, and a 92 32-20 mfg in 1915.

Sorry, no pics...

Hate to play favorites:

Model 59:







Model 12 16ga.




Parker Repo by Winchester.

Does that 70 have a steel or plastic butt plate?

I dont have many but I really like the few I own.

That 1890 is in amazing condition. Restored or original?

Late 50's plastic buttplate

P.S., the Model 88 was traded for an 1897 Riot:

I would love to know more about the specs on your Norma.

1906 22 short, long and long rifle.

ID please

Sorry

1. 1927 Winchester 94 32 spcl. sporting rifle, button mag, all lyman sights.
2. 1938 Winchester 21 20 ga, Trap-skeet grade, vent rib
3. 1907 Winchester 1885 38-55 Factory Scheutzen, #4 barrel.

No 1890 in that pic, top is a 62A untouched, 1895 in the middle restored and a 61 that I also restored. The 61 was a train wreck when I got it, did it all by hand and it came out pretty dam nice if I may say so.

I have recently purchased a Winchester model 1885 low wall chambered in .223. I am having trouble finding a scope base for this rifle. Does anyone have any advice on where to look or fixes for this problem?

Douglas #4 contour, 1-12 twist barrell cut to 22" Williams 1 piece bottom metal and extractor, set in a McMillan Supergrade stock. Metal was ceracoated graphite black by EddieF.
I'm shooting 250 gr. Hornady's over 74 Gr. of IMR4350 in Norma cases and getting 2839fps with 3/4-1" groups.

I'd be quite happy to adopt those.....

Or you could just adopt me and save the hassle of transferring them....

I like the model 52s.

I own this b model and a 52c heavy bull target barrel. The scope is a 16x unertl

That chair is screaming HELP!

Well thats a list of rare ones, especially the 1885 in 401 !! Don

We wouldn't mind eyeballin that engraved 03. or any of them.

You don't see a M71 in .33 very often either, but I will confess, more often than you see a M1885 in .401

The super X model 1 shotgun followed by the model 12.

Doc

Yowsa!

If money were no object, I would have Turnbull build me one of those on a Browning (Miroku) '71. With a shotgun butt.

Always wanted a Model 64 25-35, and passed on one because somebody had AI'ed it.
