A post 64 model 94 is better than a Tikka T3 or Browning Abolt? I am sticking with my original theory: You are high as fark. Tripping balls.
It's mostly maui-wowee, but it's part labrador. My dog ate my stash, man!

Pre 64. I would consider the post 64 to be sub par, just like the T3 and A-Bolt.
To be fair, the post 64's are not as bad (at least by the 70's) as made out to be. They are plenty accurate, I just don't care for the rattle or pot metal feel, but now-a-days most rifles seem to feel like pot metal.

Too easy in BC! Just go to one of the many pot shops and select from a vast assortment of "green products". Some shops may want ID, but numerous others don't.
As for post '64 model 94's, I've had a fair pile of 'em over the years and found them to be accurate & reliable in the field. I made sure to buy rifles that were in "as new" condition and any that had the stamped follower, I would fit a milled one to 'em & slick up the action if needed.
Pricing on Model 94's can go from mild to wild depending on what the market will bear & what region you live in. Commemorative models are in an even more select group due to folks putting value on perceived history or bling over practicality. To be truthful, the most accurate model 94's in .30-30 I've owned were a couple of '66 Centennial models and an NRA commemorative.
You are clearly stating the OP's gun, a post 64, is a $300 gun, which is as nice as a T3 or Abolt... which is clearly the magic mushrooms talking.
I doubt you can find one other person who would agree that a powder metal receiver with a stamped lifter is somehow as good as a T3 or an Abolt, both of which are tried and tested, accurate and reliable staples of hunting rifles.

Yep, the post 64 is a $300 gun. You do know that the post 64 Model 94 is the most produced sporting rifle right? Tried and tested. There are probably 10 of them for every T3 or A-Bolt.
But did YOU know that my son Nat will eat eggs over easy, but not scrambed?
Yes, I know that has nothing to do with what we're discussing, but neither does your post!
Quite a lot of bickering over a simple request. If you follow selling prices at all post 64 model 94's will sell from $250 to around $400 depending on condition. To me the OP's rifle will sell for $400 shipped on the EE pretty fast. Those made from 64 to 68 were the worst quality wise and bring the lowest prices. The 94 gradually improved in quality up through the 1970's. A lot of older guys(me included) don't realize there is a whole generation out there who don't give a rat's a** about pre or post 64 model 94's, they just want a 94 lever for a shooter or brush gun and place no premium on the older model. Even the crappiest, rattliest post 64 still does what it was made for.
That's only if you need a second shot.

To those that trashed the value of buddy's '94, please contact me when you have one to sell. Note his has walnut stocks and looks like a machined cast elevator to me. Looks like a non factory whiteline buttplate spacer. A little TLC and good pics, that one sells quickly for $385 shipped in here any time of year.
