Winchester 94 3030 help

[Hokkmike]

Hey all. Im needing help on a Winchester 94 3030 its in excellent shape it was made in 2005 or that when it was bought new. He is asking $500.00
I have no clue is it worth that. Been wanting one for my lever collection. Any help would be appreciated

If it was Japanese made I would buy it for that price, but I don't know when they started making them. I do prefer pre-64 Winnys otherwise.

If I remember right the domestic tang safety 94's were some of the nicest rifles to come out of Winchester in a long time. Seems like they really got their act together on the 94's right before closing their doors.

Whinnys? Why not "Chesters"? Old school here-I prefer addressing a make by their given names but, each to their own.

I guess what day of the week the gun was made might not be a joke. I have a pre-64 and a post-64, (probably early '70's) the pre-gun is very nice (1949) but the post-64 is not that far behind. Also have a friend who has an angle-eject in .375Win, and wow that gun is top-notch in fit and finish, the wood is very nice, and I'd say the action feels as nice and is a little tighter than my pre-64. Must have been made on a Wednesday. I'm surprised there are any guns for sale right now, but $500 does not sound that outrageous all things considered, especially if it's in nice shape.
