I am considering a Winchester Model 94 in 30-30 as my first lever action. I have been doing some reading and just wanted some more input. My desire for this particular rifle is more to have a fun, classic rifle to shoot for fun and enjoyment. I may go deer hunting in the future but I have a nice bolt action rifle for that. I would primarily use it under 100 yards in the woods and the gravel pit/range. My thought is to look for a high quality, pre-64 carbine; one that is lighter and quick to target. Do any of you more experienced Winchester guys have any advice on which years, features, etc and what to look for or stay away from? I want a quality rifle that has been well cared for but also used. I have seen prices from $400 to $1000+ but it seems $500-600 can buy a nice one. Is this a reasonable current price? Is it anything other than condition that drives the price to $1000 and north?
Thanks for any insights.
