I am not familiar with a winchester revalver??? but i figure a winchester 94 would win the vote. One in any caliber or configuration really, so long as its matched to the job. If we were discussing hunting in the west, I'd choose a scoped, straight shootin bolt gun. Chambered for 308/30-06/300 mag not only for reach on the plains, but for oomph at bears and elk. But as far as western "style" an old marlin, shiloh, or henry wouldnt be far behind the winchester. They all make fine wall decoration, and invoke an adventurous spirit.

I would have to say any winchester revalver since they are still used today. They are light weight and can easily be carried.

Glad to see others that stand by the old 94. For an all round rifle I don't think they can be beat. I just wish I knew someway of weakining the loder tube spring where it would hold more shells. I have a lever action Henry .22 that is almost a perfect match for the 94.

Since the subject line is western guns not cowboy guns I'll say that I'm kinda fond of my 16" Bushmaster H-BAR. Good little rifle for what it is, besides I carried one for many years back when I rode for Uncle Sugar. So it's real familiar and works for me. I also like the Springfield SOCOM 16 and Scout rifle but I don't have one of them...YET.

I also am a fan of ruger six shooters.

I have several in several calibers and love them all.

since I have gotten old and decrepit and have Arthritis in my hands I don't shoot the big caliber ones much any more but still have the 44 mag on the nightstand for insurance.

for long guns I was raised in shotgun country so have an assortment of shotguns.

for rifles i prefer scoped babies that allow me to reach out and touch something. Have a savage 223 for varmits and a 270 for larger stuff.

The Barrett M107CQ 50 Caliber Sniper Rifle

Winchester 94 in 30-30 instead of the 92 or 73 because of the better caliber. I have got a Marlin "Texan" saddle ring carbine in 30-30 that is just probably my new favorite because of it's looks, accuracy, and because it just makes me look so dang man-pretty when I shoot it or carry it.

Ruger sixguns for me all the way too! Vaqueros/ Blackhawks/ and the double action "six" models and Redhawks.

Since pre 64 Winchesters are getting more spendy and folks are holding on to them,the current Marlin 1894 Cowboy's are excellent western rifles. Marlin's have been around for a long time but never achieved the famed status of Winchester. For a saddle gun though the Winchester 94 Trapper is a handy carbine. Mine is in .45 LC.

Winchester model 94 pre "64 vintage. Still had machined receiver, and solid pins vs newer with cast receivers and hollow pins. Great weapon for close brush hunting and fit my scabbard like it was made for it. Light and easy to clean and handle. Rugged and dependable!

Both my dad and my grandpa have a Winchester 94. They're a great little 30-30. Great for hunting in thick brush. They have plenty of knock down power. They also fit quite nicely in your saddle scabbard and they're not big and awkward.

I guess that would be depending on what you want to use it for.

Myself, I have always had a love affair with the Winchester, though there is nothing wrong with the other American made rifles from the old west days.
