Hello all,
I was touring the flea market this weekend and a gentleman there had a Winchester 94 .30-30 on a table. The rifle appeared to be in great condition (although I didn't work the action or peek inside). Out of pure curiosity I asked how much he was asking and the price was $400. I asked if he knew when it was manufactured, and he told me 1982.
I've done a bit of research but can't find any solid data on Winchester 94's produced in 1982 except that a million or more of the same rifle were made after that. It also appears that $400 is high for this particular rifle.
I've been wanting a dedicated hunting rifle for deer in KY and the .30-30 looks to be a good choice for my needs. I was considering trading a Rossi 92 stainless trapper (16" barrel) in .357 (great condition) for a Marlin .30-30 or another brand .30-30 lever action rifle. I didn't try to deal on this Winchester since I don't know much about them. Does anyone have any insight on a 1982 circa Winchester 94?
Thanks in advance for the replies!
