Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Sears Model 54 No.?273.810 is essentially a rebranded Winchester Model 94 (often referred to as “NM-94” or post-’64 Winchester 94) made for Sears, Roebuck & Co. It was produced in the era roughly between 1964 and 1973, during a time when Sears sold guns under its house-brand names but contracted actual firearms manufacturers to build them. In this case, Winchester made the rifle, but stamped “Sears” branding and catalog identifiers. The Model 54 is chambered in the classic .30-30 Winchester cartridge, a round long favored in North America for hunting medium game at typical forest or brush ranges. It features a 20-inch barrel, lever action with full-length tubular magazine, steel butt plate, and Winchester-style lever rifle internals and lever mechanism, though sometimes with slightly different finishing or accessories relative to “standard” Winchester models. Key identifying traits include the “Long Nose Cap” in many versions, blued steel finish, and the specific Sears model and part number (273.810) markings. In terms of practical performance and value, the Sears Model 54 offers many of the traditional strengths of the Winchester 94 family: reliability, rugged lever-action operation, portability (especially with the 20-inch barrel), and suitability for woods and brush hunting with .30-30 ammunition. It’s a good “working” rifle for moderate distances (100-200 yards) where quick follow-up shots are more important than long-range precision. On the downside, compared to earlier pre-’64 Winchester 94s, these Sears-contracted versions are often considered less desirable in collector circles, partly due to differences in wood quality, finish, and some minor parts that are less premium or slightly different in specification. Also, as with all tubular-magazine lever guns, the rifle is constrained in mounting options for optics (unless using side-mounts or custom modifications) and has some limitations in very rugged or adverse conditions (e.g. lever wear, magazine tube corrosion, finish wear). Nevertheless, for shooters who want a lever action in .30-30 without paying top dollar for a pure Winchester-branded specimen, the Model 54 273.810 offers a strong value, combining proven mechanics with decent build quality.
