What’s Included
- Winchester Model 94 Big Bore XTR .375 Win lever-action rifle
The Big Bore XTR configuration was purpose-built to handle the .375 Winchester, featuring a strengthened receiver tailored to higher-pressure loads. This model traces to the Big Bore introduction alongside the .375 Win in 1978, with the BB-prefix serial format associated with early examples of this variant.
Construction is robust and traditional: a forged steel receiver, Winchester Proof Steel barrel, and a polished blued finish throughout. The XTR trim denotes upgraded wood and metalwork, highlighted by a checkered walnut straight-grip stock and a fitted recoil pad.
The 20 in barrel and 13.5 in length of pull deliver a compact, well-balanced lever gun. A full-length tubular magazine carries 6 rounds, and operation is via an external hammer and classic lever-action mechanism.
Sighting is handled by iron sights, combining a hooded ramp front sight with an adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight. Markings include Made in New Haven Conn. U.S.A. and Winchester Proof Steel, underscoring its U.S. manufacture.
