Description
The Winchester Model 94 Sporter (534178114) is a lever-action centerfire rifle chambered in 30-30 Winchester, built for deer hunters, collectors, and lever-gun enthusiasts who want the classic look, balance, and handling of the original 1894 design in a full-size rifle with a long octagon barrel and premium walnut. This 30-30 Winchester lever-action hunting rifle for whitetail deer and black bear delivers eight rounds of tubular magazine capacity, a Marble Arms bead front sight, and a half-round/half-octagon blued barrel that carries the same authentic profile Winchester used over a century ago.

Special Features
The half-round/half-octagon barrel profile transitions from an octagonal cross-section at the receiver to a round contour ahead of the forearm, replicating the barrel geometry of original late 19th and early 20th century Model 94 production rifles and adding visual weight and character that a standard round barrel cannot match
Bordered cut checkering at 22 lines per inch covers the grip and forearm in a precise, traditional pattern with double-line borders, providing a firm purchase on the stock while adding the hand-fitted appearance associated with higher-grade lever guns
The blued steel crescent buttplate is an original-style fitting that keeps the stock profile narrow and traditional at the heel, consistent with the straight-grip sporter format that the Model 94 carried through its most celebrated production years
The hammer is drilled and tapped at the spur to accept the included hammer spur extension, giving the shooter a larger, more accessible hammer surface that simplifies cocking with a scope mounted on the receiver
The tang-mounted slide safety operates directly behind the hammer and allows the shooter to engage and disengage with the thumb of the shooting hand without breaking the firing grip, keeping the safety manipulation integrated into the natural hold
The Marble Arms brass bead front sight and adjustable semi-buckhorn rear form a fast, classic iron sight combination that the eye naturally aligns in the field, and the drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope bases for hunters who prefer a mounted optic
The blued steel forearm cap finishes the forearm tip in matching steel, adding durability at the end of the wood and completing the all-blued-metal aesthetic that runs across the barrel, receiver, and buttplate
Practical Benefits
The 24-inch barrel delivers the full velocity potential of the 30-30 Winchester cartridge at hunting distances and adds the extended sight radius that improves iron sight accuracy for shooters who prefer to hunt without an optic
The 8-round tubular magazine gives you more ready rounds than a standard carbine-length Model 94, providing additional capacity for situations where multiple shots may be needed in the field without reloading
The straight-grip stock and 13.5-inch length of pull produce a natural, instinctive mount for most adult shooters, and the low comb geometry keeps the eye directly behind iron sights without the raised cheek weld that scope-optimized stocks require
The drilled and tapped receiver gives you the option to add a low-profile scope or red dot for hunting in low light or at extended range without altering the original iron sight setup, keeping the rifle flexible across multiple hunting scenarios
Whether you are hunting whitetail in hardwood timber, carrying a working lever gun that earns its appearance season after season, or adding a rifle that connects directly to the history of American deer hunting, your Winchester Model 94 Sporter gives you a platform that performs as well as it looks in the field
The Winchester Model 94 Sporter (534178114) in 30-30 Winchester is a proven platform and a dependable option for the deer hunter and lever-gun collector who wants authentic Model 94 styling, a half-octagon barrel, and the classic 30-30 cartridge in a full-size rifle built to last.
