Winchester
Authorized Dealer
Winchester is the most legendary name in American firearms — the brand behind "The Gun That Won the West," over 7 million Model 94 lever actions, the Rifleman's Rifle Model 70, and an ammunition legacy that supplied 15 billion rounds in World War II and created iconic cartridges from the .30-30 to the .308 Winchester. From the frontier to the front lines, Winchester has defined American shooting for over 160 years.
About Winchester
Winchester is the most storied name in American firearms history — founded by Oliver Winchester in New Haven, Connecticut in 1866, the company that built "The Gun That Won the West" has spent over 160 years defining how America shoots, hunts, and defends itself. The Model 1873 lever action armed the frontier. The Model 1894, designed by John Moses Browning and chambered in the revolutionary .30-30 — America's first smokeless centerfire sporting cartridge — became the best-selling sporting rifle in history with over 7 million produced. Winchester ammunition supplied 15 billion rounds to American troops in World War II, and today the Winchester name spans both firearms and one of the largest ammunition lines in the world.
Winchester's lever-action rifles wrote the history of the American West. The Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" with its distinctive brass receiver was the first rifle to bear the Winchester name. The Model 1873 earned its "Gun That Won the West" title by chambering the .44-40 WCF — the same cartridge used in popular revolvers, allowing cowboys to carry a single caliber for both rifle and pistol. John Moses Browning then designed the Model 1886 for big-bore cartridges like the .45-70 Government, the Model 1892 that John Wayne made famous in films from Stagecoach to True Grit, and the Model 1894 that put smokeless powder into the hands of American deer hunters for the first time. The Model 70 bolt-action, introduced in 1936, was named "Bolt-Action Rifle of the Century" by Shooting Times and served as the USMC sniper rifle in Korea and Vietnam — including in the hands of Sergeant Carlos Hathcock with 93 confirmed kills.
Winchester ammunition, manufactured by Olin Corporation in the United States, has been a cornerstone of American shooting since the company merged with Western Cartridge Company in 1935. The Super-X line has been in continuous production for over 100 years since 1922. Winchester AA shotshells, introduced in 1965, are the gold standard for competitive trap and skeet shooting. Deer Season XP with its Extreme Point polymer tip is engineered specifically for deer hunting with maximum energy transfer. The Silvertip line — first introduced in 1939 and expanded to handgun self-defense in 1979 — and the PDX1 Defender offer proven terminal performance for personal protection. Winchester USA White Box is the go-to range and practice ammunition for millions of shooters. And Winchester has created some of the most important cartridges in history: the .30-30 Winchester, .270 Winchester, .308 Winchester that became a NATO standard, .300 Winchester Magnum, and the .350 Legend for straight-wall states.
Winchester's military contributions are staggering. During World War II, the New Haven factory produced over 513,000 M1 Garand rifles — the only private firm entrusted with Garand production — and an eight-man Winchester team designed the M1 Carbine prototype in just 13 days, leading to over 800,000 Winchester-built carbines of the 6 million produced. Winchester supplied 90% of the small arms ammunition used in Operation Desert Storm, delivered over 2 billion rounds during the first decade of the War on Terror, and today operates the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant producing military-specification ammunition for the U.S. Armed Forces.
