Winchester 94 XTR 30-30

bambambam
Does anyone know what the XTR stands for? I called Winchester and they didn't!!! All they could tell me was approx. year made(1986). I've compared 94's and mine looks like a Deluxe but is labeled XTR.

    The Model 94 XTR was introduced in 1978 (if memory serves me correctly), and other than having a better grade of wood (checkered), it was essentially identical to a standard Model 94 of that era.

    I think it just means "Extra" due to the fancier wood and gloss finish.

    The XTR was indeed introduced in 1978, and it was discontinued in 1989. As stated in the catalogs, it was made with a deep blue highly polished finish on all of the ecternal steel parts, and a higher grade of American walunt, featuring cut checkering (like in the years past), and a satin finish to help shield the wood against weather and hard use.

    There is no given explanation for what the "XTR" name stood for, and I agree with Spider's comment.

    Bert,

    My recollection is that not all XTRs had checkering. Am I correct?

    EDIT:

    Thanks, Spider & Bert. I was aware of the 9422 XTR, with out checkering. I used to have a 9422 Magnum XTR, without checkering. I may have confused the 9422, with the 94. Thanks, again

    Thanks,

    Thanks,

    The early 9422 XTR's were not checkered but I'm not sure about the Model 94's.

    While I can not say with 100% assurity, I believe that the Model 94 XTRs did indeed have checkered stocks as a standard feature throughout the entire production run.
