Own 5 model 94s. Two are in 30-30, 2 In 25-35, and one 32 Win.
All made during 40s and near new condition.
The 30-30 & 32 cost me right at $600 each while the 25-35s set me back at $1000 each.
Beautiful rifles.

Bought from different individuals. Never shot any of them. Probably remain in the safe....

Pre 64's have been going up over the last year. Not many bargain prices on Gunbroker, and I haven't seen one on Armslist.com lately. I have seen Pre 64 Models with asking price of as much as $800 in excellent condition and a lot more for the occasional NIB for sale. A local website I check had one for $450, which is the lowest price I've seen this year. The average price I have been seeing for Pre 64's $700 in good shape.
I do run across Post 64's more often, and obviously they are selling for less than the Pre 64's. I saw a Post 64 in a LGS for $425 in like new condition. The action felt like it had a lot of play in it. No thanks.

Yes I do. If I can get them up on this site without too much trouble, I will Post some.

The first Model 94 had the Receiver drilled out and a cheap scope mounted on it by the original owner. When he got to old to go shooting and hunting anymore, he sold it to me. I cleaned it up, worked on the stock, and put a new mount and scope on it.

The second Model 94 is in original condition. I bought it at an Estate Auction last year.

Both rifles are Pre 64's and whatever I hit with those rifles is dead. These rifles are a great example of what American businesses in our country use to make here. The actions "work like a clock". The quality is obvious the first time you fire one of these rifles.



Cheers!

Shooter13:

Thanks! The Pre 64's have been going up in price. I spot check Gunbroker and other sites and I have been seeing asking prices as high as $800! Not that anyone pays that much, but the average price I see is $700.

I love those rifles. Their compact size as well as accuracy are great for shooting and hunting in PA. I see that you are located in PA too. Lots of wooded land makes for closer targets, if you get to see anything once the first shot is fired during hunting season.

Edit:

I forgot to mention that I replaced the sling on both rifles since I took those pictures. Both of those old leather slings were dry rotting! I found a good leather dealer at the Centre County Grange Fair Gun Show and bought a couple of really nice (and wider) slings for my old Winnies.


Cheers!

I use to go up to that area back in the nineties, before the Shale Oil explosion. A few years ago I was up on Route 44 in the town of Black Forest and stopped in the Black Forest Inn. Really crowded with Penn State Football on a large screen TV. The last time I was up that way, the BF Inn wasn't even open. The camp ground across from the BF INN had hardly any campers back in the old days. This last visit surprised me!

Being that you spend a lot of time there, has the Shale Oil ruined that area? Tioga and Potter Counties are some of the most remote and heavily wooded areas in the state. Absolutely beautiful.


Cheers!

I paid $175 for my 1976 Winchester 94 back in 2000. I bought the 30-30 to go deer hunting with my father-in-law, before I decided I don't like hunting, LOL--but I got a good gun out of the deal.

I bought my Mod 94 (.30-30 WIN) in OCT '14. It's a 1968 Standard Carbine. After taxes, I was out the door for just under $250. Decent metalwork, stock somewhat abused but doesn't look like it has had too many rounds thru it. I thought it was a fair price.

It looks like my new Miroku built (April of 2015) will come to $1,150 plus $92.00 in NYS tax. This is the 30-30 Sporter version with the 24" barrel and checkering. Not a inexpensive rilfe. I did look at thousands of rifles before choosing this. I have a 1973 Winchester 94 which I bought from the Winchester Custom Shop. I do not remember what I paid for that. It was well over $350 and might have been almost $500????
