Next thing you know.  Somebody will bring up a Ruger!  Oh the humanity!😜
  

In the dark days of 1967, the Ruger #1 was a badly needed breath of fresh air. 1968 was a second breath. 20260308_1304212.jpg20210714_140036.jpg

Okay, I won’t post these anymore.  My previous thread was such a hit I thought I might post this one since I really like the configuration and it really reminds me of a Model 1894 rifle.
In time, I’ll find another Winchester rifle to add to the forum.  I have one in the works now.
  

Ian,
I believe that Bo & I were both posting "tongue in cheek" to your recent post.  While the focus of this website and forums is "Winchester", the occasional divergence to the "lesser off brand" firearms is not strictly verboten, especially those that are chambered for a Winchester cartridge.

👍👍👍
I posted them, especially this one, as it so very much reminds me of its competition (e.g., a Winchester 1894) and I think that a Winchester lever rifle collector is likely to make room for one of these over other competing brands if they collect this pre WWI era stuff.
  

In all seriousness, I have yet to meet a Winchester enthusiast who doesn't own or aspire to own each of several historically significant arms that undoubtedly cost Winchester sales and did inspire or should have inspired WRA management to develop guns to compete. The Browning Auto-5, of course, and Browning's Trombone rimfire and Superposed O/U,  the Savage 95/99, the Mannlicher-Schoenauer, and the Parker. At the risk of ex-communication, history commands me to mention the Marlin 39 family, which WRA ultimately trumped (!) with the 9422, but I have never understood why they gave that market to Marlin for so many years. Production cost, probably. Even Marlin had to quit. Complicated little suckers, all of them.

Winchester darned sure studied the competition and in some cases bought them put. Personally I have culled most of my R-word, M-word and S-word examples after enjoying and familiarizing myself with them. No, Shrapnel, I haven't stuck my head down the Whitney/Kennedy rabbit hole yet because I haven't found one that met my criteria. Quite frankly my feeble mind and somewhat anemic checkbook require or at least encourage me to focus my collecting efforts so I'll dance with what brung me; Winchesters are what made me realize I was a collector so Winchesters are what I'll collect. To that end I sold a nice enough 1873 Springfield this past weekend so I'm making progress. I won't wear blinders, tho. The rifle in the previous thread was pretty awesome!

What if I wanted to show off my marlin 36 in 35 Rem?
  

That would be a double foul and land you in the Penalty Box for the entire next month!
