pre 64 Winchester 30-30 price check

[recurve319]

Hey folks, I have a 244###x serial Winchester that I was thinking of selling. The blue is wore off the receiver from carrying it. This gun has been through the woods and hunted hard. Stock is in good shape, no cracks and very tight.

Thanks.

Rick.

They've be going for upwards to $400-$450 on E.E., in discribed condition.

 

[hoytcanon]

In that condition $375-$400.

Any pre 64' is worth $400 to start.

Would you pay $400 for any pre 64?

I sure would not...

For an accurate value an accurate description using Blue Book terminology is needed... and the price one gets will vary from that, depending on the local market.

The description provided leaves lots to the imagination. I imagine $250 to $350.

if I was in the market for a classic Winchester.....absolutely. I'd much rather own a pre 64 with a few bumps and good old fashioned handling wear, than a later model of lesser quality. It would have to be a non functioning fence post before I'd turn my nose up at it.....but that's just me

Book value means nothing. A firearm is worth as much as a keen buyer is willing to pay. Look how many 10-22's sold on the EE this year for twice their value......supply and demand my friend. Classic Winchesters are starting to become very popular with new shooters.

I agree with you Dennis, 100%.

I agree with Newfoundlandrover 100%

I'm interested. Do you have any photos?

FWIW I have yet to see a Win 94 go to auction for less than $400 in Alberta and that is regardless of date of manufacture. Also as the new Winchester production now retails for over $1000 you will see a corresponding increase in the value of used guns.

I know it's not quite the same, but I purchased a model 92' 44-40 SRC a couple of weeks ago for $800. There was next to no finish left, the forestock had a gouge under the band where the old farmer hung a sling swivel, and the sites weren't original. I took it home, cleaned it up, ran a .410 brush through the bore, and then brought it out to the forest last weekend where I benched it on the hood of my truck and blew a softball sized gourd off the top of a water cooler bottle @ almost 80 yards.....the gun hadn't been fired in over 40 years. Try that with a post 64' model with fixed open sights without having a hiccup. I love the way the old girl looks....lots of character, and I bet the old farmer was looking down on me with a big grin on his face to boot.

Albertans aren't known for their intelligence but rather their wealth...

Prices are climbing even for post 64 Winchester 94 models. I have seen several post 64 94 carbines sell very quickly at $400-$500 in the last month or so. Twenty years ago you could pick up minty pre 64 model 94's for $300-$350 at gun shows here in the Maritimes. Now a minty 94 pre 64 will fetch $600 to $700 and that is just a carbine. Even the 1960's thru early 70's production(which are low quality) are selling for $400 plus in top condition. The reason is, I think, a whole new generation of gun enthusiasts really don't see a difference in pre or post 64 production, they just want a 94 and the supply is shrinking. A good pre 64 is worth $500 any day of the week these days.

I agree with me 100%.

Especially after this post!

Are there any more spots left for people who agree 100%? I'm in. Not sure what I agree with, but its gonna be 100%.

But yeah lowest I've seen was $250 on the EE, funtionning, lots of wear.. from being strapped to the rear rack on a 4 wheeler I immagine. The average price I've seen here is $350 to $400.

I have had luck selling my pre-64 30-30s between $500-700. depending on condition of course. I have a winny 30-30 rifle made in 1907 and have had some very nice offers but i want one for myself. rifles or carbines in 32 special are more hard to come by,

Right on, good to see you shooting for 100%! Reminds me of my adult upgrading school coarse many years ago. The teacher said to me one time "you shoot for a 100%, don't you"? I said, well yeah, doesn't everybody? He said "hell no, most of them shoot for 51%, just enough to pass"! A true story.
