I killed 2 bears last spring in BC with a Winchester 356 and Marlin 45-70 guide gun. Both were plenty
of gun, made two good shots. I want to use some of the other 94s I have, thus want to use the 38-55 or
375, or both on Moose.

daisygordoninc

I will be hunting in the Caribou District in BC

daisygordoninc

Still thinking about what Winchester 94 to take moose hunting this fall. What about 38-55 or 375 ?
Has anyone taken a moose with either of these guns?

I will put a scope on my Winchester 94 AE 444 Marlin, any shot I will take will be inside 200 yrds.
Will be looking for both Moose and Large Bear, Any suggestions?

One gun I have considered for a Moose and large bear gun is my 444 Marlin. Has anyone had experience with the 44 on large or dangerous game ? I know Buffalo Bore makes some really stout loads for them.

My friend and I will be moose hunting this fall in BC. He wants to know if his 270 is too light for that job of killing a
large moose, or perhaps a large bear. Has anyone hunted moose with a 270?

Gordon Johnson

daisygordoninc

Sounds like the Speer 220 is the choice of many who have used it, I will look for it,
most places have it back ordered like lots of bullets we want these days. Thanks

I will be hunting moose this fall in BC. Is a 200gr Hornady FTX heavy enough for a moose. I killed a bear last summer with one shot with the same bullet, of course it did not weigh as much as a moose. What do you think, do I need a heavier bullet?

I have a Winchester Low Wall 32 Long I have some 32 Long Federal ammo that loads and shoots in my 32 Long Colt pistol. The same ammo will not quite fit into the Winchester Low Wall, the empty case will but the bottom of the bullet which is a 98 Gr. lead round nose. Anyone had this issue or know the ...

What would be the approximate worth of my Winchester Single Shot 1885 Low Wall 32 Long with 25 inch octagon barrel #2, nearly perfect bluing, appears to be all original. Manufactured in 1888. The barrel is very clean, should shoot very straight. The wood is near perfect, one small chip. I can't get ...

daisygordoninc

Winchester 1885
Was the Low Wall built before the High Wall.
Some seem to think the High Wall was build
for added strength and higher powered calibers?

daisygordoninc

The Winchester is a Low Wall, and the barrel is 25 inches. I have cleaned the barrel and it is in pretty
good condition. The bluing is very good. What do you think the 79 following the Oct. 7 means?

Thanks for your responses. I can't get a picture to load up, will try again.

daisygordoninc

Does anyone know anything about this gun, I cannot find records on it. It has an octagon barrel,
Buckhorn sight, lever action, serial number 39376?

Can't find any record by Winchester on it.

I hunted black bear in BC this past June and took two bears. Because I am a Winchester 94 collector I wanted to take one bear with one of my model 94s. I used my 356 Winchester Model 94 to take the first bear. I used the Hornady 35 Cal. .358 200 GR FTX (35105)with a pretty heavy load of powder. It t...

daisygordoninc

Thanks, that helps me, I think likely I can load the 32-40 somewhat heavier but probably not match the 30-30 based on those
issues.

daisygordoninc

Why is it 32-40 pressures are so much lower than 30-30 pressures?

daisygordoninc

I'm bidding on an old 94 in 38-55, serial number 10,120, seems original and does have the Cody letter
stating it was build in 1895. Would that have been a black powder gun, or had they switched to
smokeless powder for the 38-55 by then?

Gordon Johnson

daisygordoninc

How much is a good Pre 1899 Winchester 94 with the Cody letter worth?
And how important is it that it is completely original?

daisygordoninc

Thank you for that info., so they were pretty close.
Good to know.

daisygordoninc

That's about the same time as the 30-30, do you know which was first?

daisygordoninc

Does anyone know when the first Winchester 94 was built in 25-35, was it before the 30-30 in 1895?

daisygordoninc

Does that mean there were only 3,313 94s of any caliber made up until that time?
Most lists indicate many more were manufactured in 1894 than that?

Thanks for your reply

daisygordoninc

What serial # is given to the first Winchester 94 30-30s build in 1895, does anyone have any guess or actual info.
on that?

daisygordoninc

Thanks,
The Cody letters for some of the 94's also disagree with the Winchester
numbers, know anything about that?

daisygordoninc

Why are there several lists of manufacture dates for the Winchester 94, and they do not
agree. I have at least 3 lists and all claim to be authentic from the original records but
they are all different. Does anyone have any insight into this?

daisygordoninc

Some of these late 94's are very good quality, they are "junk" is usually made by people who have not had one or fired one at all. I have many 94's some old some new and some in between, there are some really good late model ones.

Gordon Johnson

Thanks for the posts on the Winchester 94 45-70 question. I didn't think about the difference in the rim. I know pressure isn't a problem because my 94 in 450 Marlin isn't even the BB model. I think the Japanese 94's are pretty good quality at least most who own them think so. I have a 1892 in 44 ma...

Has anyone ever seen or heard of a Winchester 94 in 45-70?
I have a 94 in 450 Marlin, why not a 45-70?

I own and shoot a Winchester 94 AE 307. It is very accurate and I have a scope on it the Nikon Buckmaster. It is extremely accurate out to 200 yards, have not had any place to shoot longer distances. I reload the Hornady LeveRevolution 160 gr FTX #30395 bullet. I have now started loading with LeveRe...

Thanks Old Time Hunter, I will check that site out this morning.

Would love to find a Winchester 71, does anyone have one they would part wit

daisygordoninc

daisygordoninc

Thanks that chart by Hornady is helpful, and I'll just have to look around to find what load they
are using. I'll call them later today, thanks.

daisygordoninc

I picked up some LEVERevolution powder in Lacey Washington Cabela's last week. I was sure I would find a load for the
FTX bullets for my 44 mag. rifle. Still can't come up with a load.

daisygordoninc

I have a new Winchester 1892 44 mag. I want to load some 44 magnum ammo with LEVERevolution Hogdon powder.
Has anyone seen a workup for this yet ?

daisygordoninc

daisygordoninc

I was so excited to see the new Winchester model 94, and come to find out, 1) I can't get one, and 2) They are not made in the United States
Why in the world would they re-enter the 94 with a foreign model that most can't even buy, has anyone heard anything on this?
