Winchester Model 94Ae XTR Chevy Outdoorsman Commemorative .30-30 WCF 20" Lever Action Rifle & Box
Our Assessment: This a Winchester Model 94 Carbine in .30-30 WCF that was made in 1985. It was part of a Chevrolet promotion, offering various packages for the outdoorsman to go along with their purchase of a Chevy truck. The Hunter's package included a Winchester 94Ae XTR, case, window rack, scope, safety glasses and a Winchester hat (not included in this listing). The .30-30 is perhaps the most popular deer cartridge in America, and the 94 chambered for this classic round is nearly synonymous with "deer rifle". This Chevy Outdoorsman 94 Carbine is in Fine Plus condition with 98% of its metal finish remaining, a great bore and strong mechanics. This rifle could be back out in the field dropping deer and riding in the back of a Chevy for another lifetime. Please see our photos and good luck in your bidding!
