Winchester Model 94 Sporter | .30-30 Win | 24″ | 8rd

The Winchester Model 94 Sporter is a traditional lever-action rifle chambered in .30-30 Winchester with a 24-inch half-round/half-octagon barrel and an 8-round tubular magazine. It pairs classic lines — a satin black walnut straight-grip stock and blued metal — with practical field features such as a semi-buckhorn rear sight and a gold-bead front. For a mounted optic under $1,000, a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 offers a durable, low-profile option that preserves the rifle’s handling while improving medium-range sighting. Typical applications include big-game field hunting and marksmanship training for new shooters.
