I paid $250 for the same but in 32win spcl and 100% original. But that was before they ceased production. Circa 2002 I believe. Long winded way of saying essentially the same value as any pre-64 94 in good condition.
They need to be in “mint” shape or some obscure configuration to add value.
Also flog the new stock set separate as Hoyt mentioned.

It’s always a little disappointing to hear what there worth, as a good condition 100 year old rifle you expect a little more. My honest opinion is between 450-600, would need to see photos to be more accurate.
All that said, there is a Buyer for everything. It comes down to how quick you need to move it. I would think if you listed for 550 it would move relatively quick with a close offer.
Personally I wouldnt change the wood. It might not get you any more, but why change it? You may also deter a buyer with a wood swap?

If it is a 20" carbine round barrel, it is unlikely that you will even get $500, in very good plus condition... a little more as the condition improves or with rarer configurations... ie. 24" rifle, octagon barrel etc...
Stock is in good shape, receiver looks to be missing a lot of its bluing and the rear sight is removed probably to clean up the view with the tang mounted peep site. There might be a buyer for it priced at $600+, but I suspect it would sit for a very long time anywhere over $500. I wouldn't buy it for that price, Marlins are of more interest to me.

What's with the bananas discrepancy in wear between the ring, lever, loading gate, barrel and mag tube and the reciever / barrel bands? Were the barrel and mag tube reblued? Loading gate replaced?
That's most definitely not NRA Excellent, it's NRA Fair based on the description alone. If the original wood is functional and put back on it would upgrade it to NRA Good.
If the bore is good, I'd say $350-400. It's a neat looking rifle with very nice replacement wood. I concur that you'd net more selling the wood separately.
Uhhhh... the screw heads are awfully nice for a gun that vintage. Not that that really makes a difference, but it sure is nice to see unbuggered screw heads.

Maybe... looks like the curves under the flats might be blued? Or is that shadow? And the barrel bands are polished too while the barrel and mag tube stay near new looking? Hmmmmm. Need much better photos but based on what's shown this looks like a bitser gun with likely rebluing. At the very least it's molested. Definitely on the far lower end of value for a saddle ring 94 of that vintage. We're talking in the nice sporterized Enfield range.

this is a tough one to price...on one hand it sure isn't a "collector" piece, it has a lot of age but it still has a lot of "shootability" . I would suggest that the $4-600 prices offered here are on the hi end( the last one I bought 3 yrs ago was in a "rifle configuration" and around the same shape, I paid $200) except for the fact that to buy a new Japchester in a 94 actioned 30-30 would be well over $1000.
Bore condition?
Receiver and bands seem to have been stripped to bare metal. Look at the stud, ring and lever in comparison with the receiver.
Nice wood in the restock.
Collector value is long gone. If the bore is sharp, put the time and effort into refinishing it as a classic deer gun.
