Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 94 is one of the most celebrated American sporting rifles ever made. From its introduction in 1894 to the end of U.S. production, it was a favorite of ranchers, hunters, and collectors. The Angle Eject (AE) variant modernized the platform by allowing over-the-receiver scope mounting, a key feature for those wanting to pair this classic design with optics.

This particular example was manufactured in the late 1990s and features the proven .30-30 Winchester chambering, ideal for brush hunting and medium game. The 20” barrel makes it fast-handling, while the high condition level ensures it will be equally at home in a collection or the field.

With 98% original finish, excellent walnut stocks, and a mirror-bright bore, this rifle is a testament to the enduring quality of Winchester craftsmanship. Whether you’re a collector looking for a clean AE-era 94 or a shooter who appreciates classic lever-action performance, this one won’t disappoint.
