Winchester 94 Short Rifle .30-30 Win Lever Action Stain - 534174114

The Winchester 94 Short Rifle in .30-30 Win is a compact lever-action rifle built for hunters and shooters who value speed, handling, and classic American design. With its 20-inch barrel, straight-grip black walnut stock, and balanced 6 lb 12 oz weight, this rifle shoulders fast and swings naturally—exactly what you want when game appears or you're working through tight cover. The 94 Short is as comfortable in the saddle or afield as it is on the range, combining nostalgic styling with Winchester's time-tested reliability.

This .30-30 lever gun holds 7 rounds and feeds reliably thanks to Winchester's articulated cartridge stop, which loads smoothly without damaging ammunition. The brushed-polish steel barrel and satin-finished walnut create a rifle that looks as good as it handles. Traditional open sights—a semi-buckhorn rear and brass bead front from Marble Arms—get you on target fast without batteries or adjustments. The rifle is drilled and tapped for scope mounts when you want to upgrade, and it comes with a knurled hammer spur extension included, so scoped shooting is just as practical as iron sights.

Winchester engineered the 94 Short with details that matter: a top-tang safety you can operate without moving your hand off the grip, a rebounding hammer for added safety, and smooth lever throw thanks to round locking bolt trunnions. The radiused lever edges protect your fingers during fast work, while the triple-checked button-rifled barrel ensures consistent accuracy. Whether you hunt deer and hogs in mixed terrain, want a truck gun you trust, or simply love the efficiency of lever-action rifles, the Winchester 94 Short Rifle delivers proven performance in a package that's genuinely fun to shoot.
