Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine .25-35 Winchester

This is a Winchester Model 1894 Saddle Ring Carbine in .25-35 Win. that was made in 1913. The .25-35 Win. cartridge was based on a necked-down 30-30 Win. and when it was first introduced in 1895, it was intended for varmints and deer. Today, the cartridge is considered a little light for deer, but it is adequate in its heavier loading if the range is kept under 200 yards, but its best use would be for predators such as coyotes. This carbine is in Very Good condition with a bright bore that shows no erosion. With it’s original finish and pre-WWI manufacture date, this rifle will be of interest to the Winchester collectors.
