Winchester Model 94's...whats the diffrence?

[CarbineKid]

I'm looking at getting a 94. I searched the net(and here) and I really can't tell the diffrence, or find any info between the Winchester models. What is the big diffrence between a Trapper, ranger compact, and the other rifles in 38/357. Is it just the barrel length/capacity, or are the mechanical/quality diffrences?
Thanks in advance

I think the main difference between the Rangers and other 94 variants is in the stocks. Rangers have generic "hardwood" stocks, whereas most of the others have pricier walnut.
