What's Included
- Winchester Model 94 Canadian Centennial 1867-1967 Rifle (.30-30)
Released in 1967 to mark Canada's centennial, this commemorative Model 94 carries distinctive factory embellishments: a gold "Canadian Centennial 1867-1967" barrel script, a gold "CANADIAN CENTENNIAL '67" tang inscription, and receiver roll engraving with maple leaf vine motifs. These features identify it as a purpose-built limited edition from Winchester.
This example is the rifle configuration with an octagon barrel, finished in blued steel throughout. It uses the traditional Model 94 top-eject system and retains the period-correct arrangement with no cross-bolt safety. A full-length tubular magazine supports the .30-30 chambering.
Sighting equipment consists of a dovetailed, unhooded blade front and an elevation-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. The straight-grip hardwood stock and rifle-style fore-end have a smooth, gloss finish, and the length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
Markings include "WINCHESTER MADE IN U.S.A." The commemorative series was issued chiefly for the Canadian market and was not advertised in the U.S., adding context to its limited-edition status and appeal to collectors of Model 94 variants.
