Sporting version of the 1895.
The Winchester Model 1895 was the last rifle designed by John Browning for Winchester. The box magazine was for the new pointed or "Spitzer" style bullets that were introduced in the late 1800s, with the original model produced from 1896 to 1934. A total of 426,754 were produced - of that number, 293,816 were manufactured for the Russian military in the early years of World War I (1914-1918) in 7.62x54mmR. The Russian model looks almost exactly like the U.S. military version with the exception of a loading bridge so stripper clips could be used to load the magazine. Among the many calibers the rifle was manufactured for were .30-40 Krag/Government, .30-03, .30-06, .303 British, .35 Winchester, and the most famous caliber, .405 Winchester - Teddy Roosevelt's "big medicine" for lions and other dangerous game in Africa. The Winchester was brought back briefly by Browning in the mid-1980s and then re-introduced by the United States Repeating Arms Company (USRAC) in 1996. Current-production Model 1895s are produced in Japan by Miroku and imported into the United States by Browning.
