When I began hunting in 1971 I picked up a fairly worn and used Winchester model 94 rifle in .32 Special caliber. I could hit a small paper plate target very consistently with the iron sights. The recoil was small and the gun was not too loud. I didn't worry about it much because it was not a "pretty gun".
I sold the gun in the late 70's for around $100.
Now, here we are in 2017 and my local gun shop has a Winchester model 94 in .32 Special, in much better shape than mine was, for the out the door price of $895.00. this rifle is a very well kept specimen.
My oh my how times have changed. I hunt now with a scoped SAKO in 6.5x55 caliber and count accuracy in 1/4 inches.
But, that 94 does have some nostalgic appeal. Problem is, is it worth almost 1K? What do you think?
