Winchester NRA Model 94 Shooter

[ilgac]

I bought this NRA Commemorative Winchester last week.

I like the configuration; 24” barrel, 3/4 mag tube, pistol grip, Lyman tang sight, Marbles dovetail blank, no barrel bands.

It has significant finish wear and a few dings in the stock caused by its use as a hunting rifle during its 48 year lifespan (1971).

I got it for about 1/3 the price of what unfired ones are going for.

I plan to keep shooting it and even hunt with it occasionally.

I would keep shooting it. a range report on that rifle is almost mandatory. i'm assuming 30-30 cal.?

I've been hunting with one of these for 20yrs. It's one of my favorite rifles but wears a Lyman receiver sight. Best factory trigger I've ever owned.

Yes sir looking mighty fine after nearly a half century of use!

I plan to keep shooting it and even hunt with it occasionally.

Yes it is a .30-30

Thanks for the positive comments. I think that it is a very good looking rifle and plan to take it whitetail hunting this winter.

I’ll post a range report after I get a chance to shoot it.

 

[Picher]

That's a take down model, I believe.

Not a takedown

Not a takedown. Basically a reiteration of the model 64.

 

[ilgac]

No, not a takedown.

That is a nice looking rifle. I came across one at Cabela’s in Oregon in their gun library a couple of years ago. I can’t recall the price but it was reasonable. I remember it was reasonable because I decided to buy it but felt I had better discuss it with my wife and went off to find her. When I came back there was a very happy young man filling out the paperwork on his new rifle...

I was a little bummed but it was obvious the rifle was going to someone who appreciated it. I haven’t seen one since, well, until I saw this thread.

I hope your new, to you, rifle shoots well.

While not an NRA commemorative, here’s my Winchester Model 64A (dates from the early 1970’s).



Essentially it’s the same rifle but without the commemorative markings (it has a fabulous trigger as well)

That’s a 12 inch plate firing 165 grain cast bullets over 14.5 grains of H4227 at 150 yards (fired offhand) using the factory semi buckhorn sights (bout the best I can do with 55 year old eyes).
