The Winchester Model 94 is popular throughout the world, and today's production utilizes the latest manufacturing technology to bring you some of the most accurate models ever produced. John M. Browning's original takedown design in the Trails End Takedown rifle comes apart quickly for easy transporting just about anywhere. The versatile Model 94 is perfect for hunting in thick brush for hogs and other fast-moving game. Model features a triple-checked button rifled barrel, rebounding hammer, steel loading gate and it is drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The Trails End Takedown in 450 Marlin is ported for less muzzle jump, less recoil and is fitted with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.

Developed by Hornady and Marlin to increase performance of Marlin's 1895 lever action, the 450 Marlin was introduced in 2000. It is essentially and only a belted version of the 45-70, but this means that it cannot be chambered in 45-70 rifles, thus can be loaded to higher pressures with no fear of it being chambered in weaker actions such as the trapdoor Springfield. Hornady's factory load features a 350-grain bullet at 2100 feet per second, yielding 3427 foot-pounds. Another way to look at the 450 Marlin is that it is essentially a shortened version of the 458 Winchester Magnum, obviously with full capability for the largest North American game at short to very medium range. Regardless of potential it has not become nearly as popular as the 45-70. — Craig Boddington
