The model 94 returns

Model 1894 CUStoM Grade What better way to welcome back the timeless Winchester® Model 1894 than with a
tribute to Oliver Fisher Winchester. The Model 1894 began at the workbench of John M. Browning, being the first sporting rifle to use smokeless
powder. It has been said that the Model 1894 has taken more deer than any other rifle in the world, and with over six million sold, has become by
far, the most popular rifle in history. This rifle will have an exquisite 24" half-round, half octagon deeply blued barrel. A buckhorn rear sight is
matched with a Marble’s® gold bead front sight. The Custom Grade model has Grade IV/V walnut with a rich, high gloss finish to enhance the
beautiful wood grain. Deep scroll engraving covers both sides of the blued receiver. Extreme polish, precision fitting and finishes adorn this
breathtaking rifle commemorating the 200th anniversary of Oliver F. Winchester’s birth. An early Winchester Repeating Arms crest graces the left
side of the receiver, with the right side bearing the words, ”Two Hundred Years, Oliver F. Winchester,” and the dates, ”1810 — 2010,” in gold. The
barrel is deeply polished, with the signature of Oliver F. Winchester in gold on the top of the bolt. The Custom Grade Model 1894 is very limited.
Only 500 Custom Grade rifles in sets with the High Grade will be offered.

Model 1894 hiGh Grade The Winchester Model 1894 High Grade also honors and commemorates the 200th
anniversary of Oliver Fisher Winchester’s birth in New England in 1810 — a most fitting way to remember a gentleman with the genius and
vision to see product potential in firearm development. This model is deeply embellished with delicate scroll work, with Oliver F. Winchester’s
signature in gold on top of the bolt. The left side of the receiver bears an early Winchester Repeating Arms crest. On the right side are the
words, ”Two Hundred Years, Oliver F. Winchester,” and the dates, ”1810 — 2010.” The fancy Grade II/III walnut stock is enhanced with a
high gloss finish and is delicately checkered, complementing the fine embellishments on the silver nitride receiver. This model is also chambered
in the timeless 30-30 Win. caliber, with a deeply blued half-round, half octagon barrel. A buckhorn rear sight is fitted with a Marble’s® gold
bead front sight. The demand for this model will be great. 500 will be sold as a set with the Custom Grade. The remaining limited quantities
will be sold individually.

Sadly, the cheaper version with price $1469 US
 
Nice to see it back but a little fancy for my taste. If you scroll down a little further the 86 lightweight looks sharp, is it me or does the buttstock look different from the originals? Different pitch maybe?

Sorry for my pessimism/sarcasm but Big deal! 2 Special Editions at well over $1400.00 US each. Hardly the return of the Model 94!

Marlin must be shaking in their boots at the potential loss of sales due to these 94s!!

I will be impressed IF the 94 returns as a US made rifle with walnut stocks for under $400.00.

Does anyone know if these are made by Miroku or FNMI?
 
i don't understand why they wouldn't bring back the original ol' 94?? I'm pretty sure there would be a huge market for them... Heck i would for sure buy one to give a break to my old 94
 
the same thing everywhere...Retro...bring back a screwed up looking version of the original, price it outrageously....and they will follow.
Remind you of the automotive sector?....
Skip the crap, the engraving, the fancy doo-dad stuff...THAT is not what made the rifle famous in the first place.....
 
Well, I agree with everyone else, it's a commemorative. Yes, it's the return of the '94, but not in the form that 99% of the public wants.
We want the light handy rifle that doesn't cost an arm or leg to buy, and just plain works, pretty much forever. As the original did.
 
From what I've heard they will be available in 2011 in the standard configuration as a catalog item. This from a Browning sales rep. (Browning distributes Winchester products)
 
Scroll down and see that your money would be better spent on the 1886 at 1300.00 dollars. My Guess is that it will retain more of its value. I think the brains in the Winchester front office missed the mark on this one!!! WHos going to spend 1400.00 dollars on another commemerative the market has been saturated with Special edition Winchester 94's
