For hunters who see a rifle as both tool and tradition, the Turnbull Winchester Model 1892 Hunter brings John Moses Browning’s legendary lever-action design into the modern field. Chambered in .45 Colt—a time-honored cartridge prized for its versatility, close-range effectiveness, recoil, performance and enduring legacy among hunters and shooters alike—this rifle is built to follow you from dense whitetail woods to wide-open country.
Starting with a factory-new Winchester Model 1892 in .45 Colt, the Hunter’s 20-inch barrel keeps things lively in hand, striking that balance between quick handling and steady accuracy. We’ve added a one-inch Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad to soften the punch, making long days in the field easier on the shoulder. And for those who appreciate the precision and speed of today’s optics, we’ve installed a dovetail-mounted Picatinny rail. It’s perfect for red dot sights that deliver faster target acquisition and increased confidence in low-light hunting conditions (optic not included). For traditionalists, the factory semi-buckhorn rear sight is still included, ready to go.
Of course, no Turnbull is complete without a nod to the timeless artistry of America’s classic lever guns. The hammer, lever, and forend cap are finished in our signature bone charcoal color case hardening, offering a flash of Old West beauty every time the rifle cycles. The upgraded fancy walnut is hand-finished with traditional oil, bringing warmth and character that grows richer with every season. The receiver, barrel, magazine tube, and small parts wear factory bluing for a clean, workmanlike finish, while a dovetail gold bead front sight rounds out the picture.
In the field, the Turnbull Winchester Model 1892 Hunter unites Browning’s timeless lever-action design with the practical refinements today’s hunters rely on. It’s the kind of rifle that turns every outing into more than just a hunt. It becomes a continuation of a tradition, where classic craftsmanship and modern utility meet in a way only a Turnbull can deliver.
