Winchester Model 1890 -

This was first repeating slide action .22 rifle ever successfully developed and manufactured.

Approximately 849,000 Model 1890 rifles were produced between 1890 and 1932, after which the Model 1890 was replaced by the Winchester Model 62 rifle.  . The .22 Long Rifle version was added in 1919 and pistol grip stocks were available on 1890's post World War 1.

Calibers for the rifle include .22 Short, .22 Long, .22 Long Rifle, .22 Winchester Rimfire

The Model 1890 was produced in three versions over its production run: the first had a case hardened receiver, and a fixed rear sight and were produced through 1892. It was not a takedown.

The second model was a takedown rifle and had a case hardened receiver. This second model did however have an adjustable rear sight.
In 1901, the case hardened receiver was changed to blued and a deluxe version was offered, which had a checkered walnut stock instead of the plain and had a grooved slide handle.

The third model was also produced as a takedown rifle, and had a redesigned receiver that allowed the breech bolt to lock externally. This third model was also available in a deluxe version.
