Just bought my first lever action. I got a 1971 1894 30-30 for $300.

I scored a pre-64, manufacture year 1952, 30-30 1894 graded at about 90% , in really excellent shape except for the 3 notches the previous owner carved just behind the Tang, signifying what I don't know, for $450.00. Except for the notches it's a beautiful piece and a sweet shooter.

350 for a 30 30 ranger. Like new condition .even bad the blueing on the hammer and the stiff action. With a box of ammo

1195 (OUCH!) for an un-shot (at least per info and apparent condition) late 1940's carbine. Virtually no handling marks and no "shiny" wear marks on bolt/receiver. Specific year unknown but 15 serial number and "30 WCF" on barrel. I totally disassembled it to clean the hardened original grease and cleaned/re-lubed/re-assembled it. It's now had two boxes of 150 grainers though it; at 100 yards I was able to consistently shoot 5 shot 1.5" groups.
It will go hog hunting in May. I'm basically treating it as having just purchased a new hunting rifle, I am not treating it as a collector gun. It replaces a post-64 that was my previous deer/hog/black bear gun. |

I just bought a 1963 94-30-30 from a gun show estate sale. Paid 700.00 which is probably top dollar but this rifle is in perfect condition. One small dent on the fore end that came out with a little head and a cold rag. Bluing is perfect, rifling sharp and crisp with no fouling. I took it apart today for safety's sake and there was absolutely zero grit in the usually places. I'm sure it was the first time it was taken apart and may have been the first time it was fully cleaned.
Can't post pictures yet but as soon as I can I will. This will be my "other" rifle when hunting. My new model 70 30-06 is my normal hunting rifle. |

This is the rifle

Shot it today. 6 rounds was all. The prior owner put a Williams peep sight on it and it was all wonky. I need to get it on the mill and straighten it out. I'll shoot again later this week. As far as running, it was perfect. I shot using my minds eye and put three in a decent group for off hand. Oh yeah, I have replace a leg on my target stand, round nose bullets are unmerciful to wood. LOL.

I paid $400 plus tax at a pawn shop. It came with the redfield m294 mount and 2x scope.

I bought mine new in 1976 for $88.00 from Nichols department store. The clerk let me open up 4 or 5 boxes and helped me pick out a nice one.

Got it in 1963 from a guy who put 5 rounds through it. It was in the closet for a while. Gave him $35.00 for it with the remainder of shells. Checked the Winchester website with ser# It was made in 1953.

Thanks. Have to get it out to the range soon. Haven't shot it in years. Been busy breaking in a few new handguns. |

Just resurrected my 1953 built 30-30 win. It's been in back of closet since 1974, except for an occasional clean & lube. Took it to the range today. WOW! Forgot how much fun it is. Put 30 rounds through it. That's all the ammo I had on hand. Gonna take it again next week. LOVE IT!

Finally added one to the collection. It's a '51 in 30-30. Condition was pretty good with the exception if the added recoil pad on the shortened stock. Paid $650.

Beautiful Winchester from the best generation of most everything. Nice grouping. Those splat targets really show off hits. Offhand or bag?

Tony, they are shoulder thumpers! Look at Gunbroker, watch it for a while and you should get a good idea of the market, also somewhat depends on your location.
Too old to be nice, never too old to learn!

Thanks Bob it is going to the HuntersTradingPost and they will put it on GunBroker. I will put it up on this site also. |

Hi ya tony d!
Thanks for returning and posting. We are running on thin for posting theses days. My 1928 '94 30-30 Carbine is a shoulder dislocater. I did enjoy its performance though. GOA Life Member
