More on the Vernerable "94 in 30WCF
I have always been a bolt guy, having cut my teeth on old savage rifle in 32-20. More one shot kills were registered on sqirrels, rabbits, grouse, and small blacktail deer. All shots were kept under 50 yards. As I got older I passed up more shots than I made, my style of hunting had changed. No longer did I have the luxary of time and energy to aid in making this caliber useful. Away the rifle went in a trade.
When it came time for me to purchase my stepson a rifle, I knew he would appreceate a small rustic looking bush gun. Still young and full of piss n vinegar, he had the energy and time to put in. I decided to also buy something that would age well with him, so he would not have to trade it in. A rifle that will always have some use.
A friend just so happened to have a pre 64 Winchester 94 in 30 WCF. This old rifle with a 24 inch barrell, was still in the box, heck it still had the original box of shells with it. Only four cartidges were missing from the box of ammo. The price was $250.00 (Canadian). I threw the money on the table and ran off with the sweet little rifle. My step son has since put one box of ammo through the ole 94, and is pleased as can be to have a part of history to shoot.
Will see how he does this upcoming season with it.
