A History Forged in Innovation The Winchester story begins in 1866 with the Model 1866 lever-action rifle – famously known as the “Winchester.” This rifle, and the subsequent models like the Model 1873 and the Model 1894, didn't just change the way people shot; they helped shape a nation. These rifles were instrumental in the settling of the West, providing reliable firepower for hunting, protection, and self-reliance. The “Winchester Mystery House” even stands as a testament to the rifle's enduring cultural impact. But Winchester's impact isn't limited to the past. The company continued to innovate, producing rifles and shotguns for military contracts, competitive shooting, and the ever-evolving needs of hunters and sport shooters. From the Model 70 bolt-action rifle, a standard for decades in target shooting and big game hunting, to modern sporting rifles, Winchester has always been at the forefront of firearm technology.
