Hello all, its been awhile since I had some free time to enjoy some good firearm talk! I need some information, and I could not think of a better place to ask. A guy I know, has a Winchester lever action that he wants to get rid of, and I was hoping someone here could tell me something about it, and whats a good price?
The rifle was described to me as "A Winchester 94, no crossbolt safety, Ranger model, 30-30, Top Eject not side eject, never fired, no scratches etc". I took a look at the rifle, this thing litterally looks like it was never pulled out of the case.
My question is this. This rifle will be used for plinking, possibly some deer hunting, but it would be once a year at most. How accurate are these 94 levers? Also, would this be a newer rifle, or are we talking a rare older rifle? I think he said they only made this model in this configuration for a short time, but I can't really remember. Finally, can a scope, or some other sort of sighting system be used on these top eject models, or will they get in the way?
I will probably be keeping it iron sights, but I would still like the option.
I was told by this guy, that the rifle was worth upwards of 700 in its condition, but he would sell for 400-500 since I was a "nice guy, and a cooworker."
Any info would be great, thanks in advance!
