Could be a '92 or a '94
Here's a Model 1892 "sporting model rifle" with factory upgrade octagonal barrel:  This one (my father's) dates from 1903. Click to enlarge. "The Gun That Won the West(ern)." It was used more than any other in Western Movies, although it was an anachronism, having been put out five years after the actual western period. It was used because it was more robust that the actual period rifles and was chambered in the same calibers as pistols, making stocking blanks for movies easy. The Rifleman used one with an enlarged loop and it was John Wayne's favorite. More HERE. Bob Bob

I'm not much of a rifleman (much more a handgunner), but I have a bit of a soft spot for lever-action rifles.
