WHAT’S INCLUDED: RIFLE ONLY 

The Winchester Model 1890 stands among the most iconic rimfire rifles ever produced, and this example represents a highly desirable Second Model variation manufactured in 1901. Designed by the legendary John M. Browning, the Model 1890 quickly became the gold standard for gallery shooting, small-game hunting, and recreational marksmanship throughout America. Its classic combination of a 24-inch octagon barrel, exposed hammer, and slick pump-action operation delivers the unmistakable profile collectors and Winchester enthusiasts actively seek.
Chambered in .22 Short, this rifle was purpose-built for gallery use and precision shooting at modest distances. The long octagon barrel provides excellent balance and a generous sight radius, while the smooth slide-action allows for rapid follow-up shots with minimal disruption to the shooting position. Even more than a century after its manufacture, the Model 1890 remains admired for its reliability, mechanical simplicity, and surprising accuracy.

This rifle features the desirable takedown configuration that allowed sportsmen to quickly separate the barrel assembly from the receiver for transport and storage. The straight-grip walnut stock, crescent steel buttplate, grooved walnut forearm, and exposed hammer showcase the elegant craftsmanship of Winchester's golden era. The honest wear and naturally developed patina seen throughout the metal surfaces give the rifle the authentic character that collectors appreciate in an untouched antique firearm.

The .22 Short cartridge became famous for gallery shooting, pest control, and harvesting small game where minimal noise and recoil were desired. Within its intended role, the cartridge remains highly effective while offering an exceptionally pleasant shooting experience. Because Winchester produced early Model 1890 rifles in dedicated chamberings rather than multi-cartridge configurations, the original .22 Short chambering adds additional historical significance and collector appeal.

Few rifles capture the spirit of turn-of-the-century American shooting like the Winchester Model 1890. Manufactured in 1901 and representing the desirable Second Model variation, this rifle embodies the craftsmanship, innovation, and practical utility that made Winchester a household name. Whether destined for a Winchester collection, a display of classic American firearms, or continued enjoyment by an enthusiast who appreciates antique rimfires, this Model 1890 remains a timeless piece of firearms history.
