The Centennial '66 Commemorative celebrates a century of Winchester with distinctive finishes and markings. The receiver and forend cap are finished in a gold-tone plating, complemented by a brass crescent buttplate. The barrel bears the inscription 'A Century of Leadership 1866–1966,' and the inlet brass stock plaque is engraved 'WINCHESTER CENTENNIAL '66.'
Built on the Model 94 platform, this rifle uses a top-eject receiver with a saddle ring and a right-side loading gate. It is chambered in .30-30 and pairs a 26 inch steel octagon barrel with a full-length tubular magazine for an 8+1 capacity.
Sighting is classic and practical: a dovetailed blade front works with an elevator-adjustable semi-buckhorn rear. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches. The straight-wrist walnut stock and matching forend are smooth and uncheckered, preserving the commemorative look.
