Winchester 30-30

[Howard1955]

A friend just gave me this rifle. Winchester 30-30, model 94. No scratches, rust, or dings - looks like it hasn't been fired much.

I'm planning to keep it on the farm, maybe shoot some deer. From the serial number, I found out it was made in 1975.

I think it's probably worth between $400 and $500, based on the ads I'm seeing.

It's a good day.

Thanks. It's just like the rifle my Dad had when I was young.

I've got one in the same vintage, I just need to find a pre safety trapper model now

 

[Stomper]

I have one that's a family heirloom built around 1943-47, if I recall correctly.

 

[Medic!]

Wow, That looks new!
Good score.

I have one Winny 30 30 circa 1983 with peep sights and Rem 170 gr RN ammo puts out 3" groups at 100 years.

100 years! Did you put a time-travel scope on that beauty?

Seriously, though - that's some good shooting.

Lucky you!!! Forget the dollar value. You have a piece of history as well as heretidge.

Also, if I had a rifle that could shoot 3" groups 100 years ago, which yours can, i'd be tellin smokey to get the griddle fired up

Man, I wish I had friends like yours! Nice rifle; I had one that I traded away on here a few years ago, it was a handy little unit. Enjoy!

 

[No_Regerts]

I wouldnt get rid of mine. Its handy, has enough power for anything I'd use it on, and you have quick follow-up shots.

 

[CountryGent]

Very nice Winchester. Congradz.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Niiiiiice!!! Enjoy that rifle! That's a good friend!

As Tom Peterson used to say,"Free is a very good price!"
I've yet to own a post-64,but I'm sure they are just as good,and a great and handy rifle for around the farm.Enjoy!!

I've picked one up for 7 out of 8 Grandkids before they were born, start em out young on the good old stuff!
Three were pre 64's ,the rest were post.

I like the way they carry!
There is nothing that compares to a light weight flat side carbine when walking around in the woods.

I have one Winny 30 30 circa 1983 with peep sights and Rem 170 gr RN ammo puts out 3" groups at 100 years.

Closest I can come to that is either a 91 year old Model 1894 in 30-30 Carbine or a 111 year old Model 1895 in 30-40 Krag 28" barrel deluxe rifle. But both do better then 3" groups at 100 yards.

The best shooting is the 1968 Buffalo Bill Commemorative Rifle (26") 30-30 with my fancy tip up front sight and the Williams Target Peep on the back. Better then 1.5" at 100yard from a rest.
