I just bought my first 30-30 (model 94 made in 1971). I bought it at a gunshow for $250. It has a bit of freckling on the action but everything else is 95% and the bore is cherry.
I have hunted in Africa, the UK, Germany and Japan – I considered myself to be an experienced hunter who was knowledgable about guns. I didn’t know anything about the 1894 or the 30-30 and had never really wanted to.
Now I must say – where has this gun been all my life? Its so light that I could carry it all day and never feel it – and the 2″ groups at 100 yards are all I would ever need here in Missouri. It even makes you feel like a cowboy. Great little gun.
I been sticking to bench shooting the past few years because I am getting on in years (59). But I like this little rifle so much I just may have to go out and shoot a feral pig or two.
And its made in America - says "New Haven CT" right on the barrel.
