And made in Japan?
Would you spend $900-$1200 on a new Win 94?
The hunting market is shrinking. The days of thousands of high school kids skipping school to hunt deer is long gone. Yeah, we have hunting in the USA still but the numbers are shrinking. The majority of people do not buy firearms to hunt anymore.
No Thats way too much IMO.
on a side note:
You must live in a city not surrounded by wilderness or you are in an non hunting group of friends or something. I live in Michigan, and outside of the metro Detroit area, EVERY school system has the day of opener Rifle Deer season scheduled off from school. Statewide. I work for Ford and even WE have it off as a paid holiday.
Just sayin its not as far gone as you may think.
The lever action is dead as the main hunting rifle. The bolt will be on the way side also soon. With more and more GIs (I'm one of them) coming home. They want the rifle they carried. That's the AR-15.... hence the huge number of different companies cranking them out. The 1894.... not so much. I don't see people lining up at gun shops to buy 1894s.
how ironic an american classic made by the people who brought us pearl harbor
This is silly beyond measure.The Winchester Model 94 is dead. Just like the 1886 and the 1885 are dead. It had a good run of over 100 years, but when USRA went under in 2006 it was gone.
