Description:
Winchester Model 94 AE - .30-30 - Texas Trophy Hunter's Tribute - Limited Edition #96/250
Winchester Model 94 AE Texas Trophy Hunter's Tribute – A Rare Commemorative Masterpiece
For sale is an extraordinarily rare and collectible Winchester Model 94 AE Texas Trophy Hunter's Tribute lever-action rifle, chambered in the legendary .30-30 Winchester. This is Number 96 of only 250 rifles ever produced, making it a true limited edition that has long since sold out from its original 1998 offering. This rifle is in excellent condition and represents a stunning tribute to Texas whitetail hunting heritage.
Produced by America Remembers in collaboration with the Texas Trophy Hunters Association (TTHA), this commemorative rifle features the artwork of renowned Texas artist Don Keller (1936-2014). The rifle showcases two of Keller's most famous paintings of the Texas whitetail: "The Genetic Pool" and "El Jefe" (The Boss)—both of which graced the cover of TTHA's official Journal. The 24-karat gold and nickel-plated receiver features these iconic scenes with a special blackened patinaed background that maximizes the detail of Keller's artwork. The forearm stock is laser-carved with a bounding buck within an oval cameo, and the shoulder stock features TTHA's familiar skull and antler logo.
This limited edition was a closed issue—all 250 rifles sold out years ago, with No. 1 ed at a 1999 TTHA fundraiser for Operation Game Thief. This is a true collector's piece, a cherished tribute to Texas whitetail hunting and the legacy of Don Keller.
