Hi

Wood is perfect original finish and blue i give 9/10 never hunt always clean and oil after the 4 time she shoot




Thank
 
from your description, I'd say it's worth a very easy $500. maybe even more to someone that wants a pre '64 in great condition. If I was in need and wanted one real bad and there was nothing else around, I'd pay $600., if I had to! I may be bias, I love pre '64 94's and my very first hunting rifle was as such! Still got it, she's a 1949 30-30. Also got a '57 in 32 Spl.

Check the bore, just to see how it is.
 
$600 is a fair price for both parties on that rifle in the described and pictured condition.

Great looking 94! I am surprised that this rifle, if it really has been treated as stated, is still only worth $600. Shouldn't it be viewed as very rare?

There are millions of .30/30 carbines out there, that fact keeps the price lower than if it were a rifle or in another cartridge.

Keep it.... There are millions out there as Hoyt said..... But this one is familiar to you and one of the nicest condition ones I have seen......$600 or whatever offers you have received will be gone in a heartbeat..... But you will be hard pressed to replace it down the road when you realize the mistake you made....
 
Yes, Winchester 94 carbines are common but high condition examples are not. That one looks like a legitimate 95% condition gun(from the limited pics). As such it is worth $750 in my opinion. In the collector world the difference between a 95% gun and a 75% gun is great. Lots of them around in 60% to 75% condition. In 95% and better they are getting hard to find, Definitely an investment grade Winchester. You see them selling at $500 to $600 in 75% to 80% condition. If I owned it I wouldn't sell it for $600 as it would be hard to replace for that. My 2 cents.
 
It is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, and/or what you are willing to turn down to keep it.

I have single malt bottles where the "value" is similarly speculative because there will be some who will pay/trade much more than others if they want to complete a collection or if a certain bottling has some other personal significance.

I find certain rifles can be treated that same way. Your example of a 94 does not appear to be a "Glenlivet 12" where the common blue book value is the end of the valuation talk.
 
if its original finish and bluing id expect $800, sure theres a lot of pre64 94's out there, but how many are 9/10 original condition? considering a new 94 is $1500, i think many would opt to pay 800$ for a like new pre-64. maybe more to the right person
