Just snagged a great deal on a late model 94AE and I have to say, I am impressed. And that's not easy to do, considering my first deer rifle is a pre-64 Winchester I've carried since 1984. That rifle has been beyond great to me, but as my eyes have gotten worse, I've struggled with the irons (and to be honest I've just gotten used to scopes on all my hunting rifles).
I always knew I'd end up with a 94AE someday, but nothing I handled ever impressed me - especially the cross-bolt safety models - until now. I consider myself truly blessed to have gotten a killer deal on a minty 94AE with the tang safety. The action is super smooth and it handles like a dream. Only 6 lbs. 3 oz. bare, or 7 lbs. even with the 2-7 Leupold, this is the rifle I remember from my youth. I haven't been this excited about a new rifle in some time!
