The rifle John Wayne often used in his movies was a Winchester 1894 Carbine, with the lever enlarged to a large loop so he could twirl it in order to work the action. It's too new for the historical setting of most of his movies. The remake of "True Grit" had Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) using a Winchester 1873, a gun more appropriate to the historical setting.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

No pictures but a double shotgun played a prominent role in the big gunfight in my favorite cowboy movie, "Free Range", starring Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner, and Annette Benning.
I am glad to be here.

"The Ghost and the Darkness", had some good overall entertainment value.

Plenty of gun, Paradox and DR action in the 2004 remake of King Solomon's Mines.
More DR action in Out of Africa, with the Redford/Streep lion charge and also in White Hunter, Black Heart with Clint.
There's a Greener or Westley Richards used by the Gene Hackman character in Heist.

And my favorite- Legends of the Fall- in the ending scenes, where Anthony Hopkins' character dusts off two hardass Mick brothers by name of O'Banion with a Purdey or Westley Richards stashed under his big old bearskin coat-
"The field is the touchstone of the man"..

John Wayne used a 92 Winchester for most of his westerns not a 94 but mostly incorrect for the period none the less.

Great picture with a few cool "gun moments." Boss talking about his Remington revolver, and possibly the best "being shot" scene ever, the guy flying across the street after getting shot with the shotgun. We have kind of veered from the double gun theme a little so I would also mention "Quigley Down Under." It's not "Citizen Kane," but it is a fun movie about a guy and his rifle. CHAZ
