| Thirty plus find out what year it was made. Win. started cutting corners in 63 or 64 and their guns became, as a result, less desirable. The older ones with solid steel receivers and milled parts are worth more. check out Winchester Pre '64 Model 94 (Win. Model 94) That is the only reason I know for charging that much for a used mod. 94.

| I just looked at their website I cant believe they quit making '94's and make the 1885 highwall. Marlin gets bought out by Remington and now this?

| Another good resource is to go to a Half Priced Books store and see if they have a Blue book of gun values. That should give you a good idea of what it is worth.

| Winchester Winchester has not been known for particulary good management and particularly good business decisions for a long period of time. As someone else suggested, it was a better firm and a better product before the 1962/63 period. Collector interest also fuels demand for pre-1962/63 products. I believe either Savage or Mossberg is picking up the model-94 .30-.30 style. You might check their websites. I have neither seen nor handled the new gun. |
