Winchester

A true American legend

Oliver Fisher Winchester was first and foremost a businessman. With a keen eye for opportunity, he recognised the potential for rapid growth in the American firearms market. After investing in various companies including the ‘Volcanic Arms Company,’ he also discovered that he was adept at revising existing designs and improving on them greatly. There can be no better example of this than the work he did with Benjamin Tyler Henry’s model of 1860. It was this design and the improvements he made to it that led to the birth of a true American legend – ‘The Winchester Repeating Arms Company.’ There can be few brands as iconic, as capable of conjuring vivid images of adventure and independence of spirit. From the guns of the old west to those made for the U.S. Army in World War One and Two, Winchester have earned their stripes. Whether you’re looking for a rifle, a shotgun, or even ammunition, today the name Winchester has become your guarantee of quality, of rugged dependability, and a shorthand for a no-nonsense tool that gets the job done.
