The 26-inch octagon steel barrel delivers classic lines and a 7-round tubular magazine, maintaining the balance and capacity that made the Model 94 a hunting staple.
Factory border scroll engraving decorates both receiver side plates, adding visual appeal without compromising the rifle’s field-ready robustness. The blued finish contrasts with the gold-washed loading gate for a subtle yet distinctive accent.
This rifle is part of the limited-edition Classic series produced from 1967 to 1970. Serial-number range confirms 1969 manufacture, placing it squarely within the sought-after collectible window.
