WINCHESTER - "the gun that won the west"
Oliver Winchester didn't invent the lever action rifle, but he developed it, and founded the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. He also became one of the notable industrialists of the 19th Century. Famous Winchester guns include the line of lever action rifles that started with the Model 1866 and is still going strong today. It was the Model 1873 lever action that earned the title "the gun that won the west." The Model 12 is perhaps the most highly regarded pump action shotgun ever made. The Model 70 bolt action rifle became known as "the rifleman's rifle." The Model 21 side-by-side is regarded by many experts as the best of all American double-barreled shotguns. The name "Winchester" is synonymous world-wide for long guns, just as the name "Colt" is for handguns.
