Winchester Model 1892 Short Rifle .44 Magnum

**Mouse over image above to zoom any area, or click on image to zoom the entire image.



It is considered by many as the smoothest, most compact, handiest and most beautiful lever action ever offered by Winchester. The Model 1892 (or "The 92" as most of us call it) was Winchester's follow-up to the amazing Model 1886. The Model 1886 was designed for large hunting/military calibers of the 1800s, like 45-70 Govt. Soon after it's development, the call went out for a new (but more compact) lever rifle suitable for pistol calibers. Soon, John Moses Browning produced the Model 1892 prototype for Winchester and the rest is history.

This Model 92 Short Rifle is in a classic round barrel configuration in two excellent calibers – the 357 Mag. is suitable for hunting and cowboy action duties, while the 44 Rem. Mag. makes its mark as a great caliber for hunting in brushy conditions with fast moving game. Attention to detail is something you will notice like the one-piece steel crescent buttplate just like the originals, and a Marble Arms gold bead front sight that adds a dose of traditional class. This rifle features a convenient rear tang safety but don't despair, companies (like Marble Arms) offers one made to fit should you desire to add a tang sight later.

My experience with Miroko/Winchester rifles has been top notch and this 1892 rifle is no exception. Although I have not yet had the opportunity to fire it, the fit and finish, as well as the function of the action is excellent. Anyone considering a lever action rifle would be well satisfied with this gun. John Moses Browning would be pleased with what Miroko is doing with his iconic design. As always, Bud’s service and pricing is without peer.

I really enjoy this rifle. The rich blue finish is fantastic and the oiled wood stock is a perfect match. The rifle groups well and the action is smooth. The tang safety and the rebounding hammer are not an issue to me. The 1:26 barrel twist handles heavy 44magnum loads like a dream.I would highly recommend this rifle to anyone who is looking for a quality firearm. I've matched the 1892 up with my S&W 629 5 inch Classic and I have been in 44 magnum heaven. Buds was competitively priced and shipped immediately . Overall a great experience.

This purchase met all of my expectations. The quality of the workmanship and the accuracy I have achieved is very satisfying. My 50 yard groups are at one inch, using my hand loaded rounds. The action is smooth. The sights are great, minimal adjustments were necessary to zero it. Bud shipped the gun very timely, and it arrived in great shape. Buds price was the best around. This 1892 Winchester handles the 44 magnum with full loads without a hitch. The gun is very well balanced, and the stock fits the shoulder so well that as long as you keep it tight into your shoulder, I really had no issue with the recoil, but it helps to have a muscular build...since the recoil can be felt as stout for those not built with meat on their bones. The trigger pull measured about 4.5 lbs and is crisp. Glad I made this purchase and glad I bought from Buds.

I recently purchased an 1892 Winchester rifle in 44 mag. from Buds. Not ever dealing with Buds in the past I chose them strictly on their lower pricing. My transaction couldn't of been any smoother. Customer service was great helping me placed the order and I received the rifle within the time frame that was promised. I received the rifle without a blemish. I am very happy with my purchase and would differently order my next firearm through Bud's.

The quality of the Winchester 1892 is excellent; The fit and finish of the gun met all of my expectations. I really appreciate John Browning's lever design with the dual locking bars in the action. The 1892's history makes this a welcomed addition to my Winchester collection (small but growing.)

I purchased the Winchester Short Rifle in 44 Magnum on a Sunday night and received it on a Tuesday morning. Great service from Buds. The rifle was perfect, Great fit and finish, everything a Winchester should be. I don't mind that its made in Japan. It feed and fired everything I put through it without any problems. Shot at fifty yards shot a five shot group that measured 1 1/4 inches, with Magtech 240 grain ammo. Great service, great rifle. Thanks Buds for letting me know when you got some of these fine rifles in.

Very comparable to my Browning B92. Excellent action. Excellent build quality.

Rock solid, tight tolerances, dead on accurate right out of the box. Everything you'd expect from a Winchester, except that they aren't made in the USA anymore. Boo! Still, it's a real lever gun and shoots like one too. Quickly becoming my favorite rifle. No ammo feeding issues to date. My gun shipment from Buds was delayed by the "Snowstorm from Hell" in early 2015, but kudos to Buds in keeping my informed of the reasons for the delay. The rifle arrived at my FFL in Perfect shape and condition. Nice job guys! Now, can you find me one of these in .357 caliber? Please?
