Overview & history
Winchester Repeating Arms, founded in New Haven, Connecticut in 1866, defined the American lever-action rifle with models like the 1873 and the Model 94, and later earned acclaim for the Model 70 bolt-action ('The Rifleman's Rifle') and the Model 12 pump shotgun. Value depends heavily on the model, production date, caliber, condition, and originality, with antique lever guns and pre-1964 ('pre-64') rifles especially prized.
