Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 94 chambered in 30-30 is one of the most iconic American rifles to have ever existed. They have seen extensive use across North America for target shooting, competition shooting, as well as medium to large game hunting. If you need a proven rifle that can just about "do it all," the Winchester 94 is it.
Dramatic triumphs of the American frontier are part of Winchester's past. For Winchester rifles and carbines were there. in the wild, reckless West of another century. In years of the Transcontinental Railroad, or the "Fire Road", as fierce Sioux warriors called it. A 3,000-mile ladder of wood and iron linking the world's two great oceans...uniting a nation. Carves form rock by men as tough as the wind-blasted buttes they cut through. Men with picks and sledges in one hand, Winchesters in the other...brawlers and army veterans became Indian fighters. Men who knew survival was linked to wood and metal: a great railroad protected by a great rifle. Every spike of the first great Transcontinental railway held history together. The West was one with that last "Golden Spike" - driven into a railbed high in the Utah mountain range 100 years ago. "The Golden Spike". As rich in historical significance as any event in America's colorful past.
This rifle is a Golden Spike Commemorative produced in 1969 to signify the 100 years (1869-1969) that had passed since the uniting of the east coast to the west coast with the golden spike that was driven into the train tracks as the last component to the transcontinental railroad. Winchester's own "Golden Spike" Commemorative Carbine symbolizes that monumental work of men and iron.
