Nah, I still prefer the Marlins. Never been a fan of straight stocks. Much prefer the look and feel of a curved grip and I like taking the bolts out so I can clean from the chamber side. They feel more solid too. Had a 94 drop some parts on a hunting trail so hard to trust. Found the bits and put it back together but coulda been worse. Borrowed gun.

The 94 is the VW Beetle of firearms. A classic that has endured for decades.
With the new calibers that came out recently, it will be interesting to see if we can get them in, let's say: 338 Federal, 375 Ruger or in one of the new RSM's made by Hornady... I already own a Marlin in .35 Rem. and I have easy access to a Mod.94 in 30-30, so they would have to come up with something exciting for me to take out my wallet...
waitaminute - we've just heard an uncomfirmed rumour that the 94 is coming back - with no details whatsoever, on design, build, location, etc - and have already decided that the old one is better?
It would be silly to thing otherwise!

They are probably going to come out with a California version- magazine plugged to 1 round, firing pin etched with serial #, key needed to fire. Law enforcement will get a 5 shot version.
high grade is the only way it will sell. why would i spend $5-600 for a new one in 30WCF, when i can find a pre-64 in 30WCF for $3-400?
new and exciting cartridges? how many here bought a 375, 307, 356 or 7-30 waters? maybe they should bring out a 416 winchester on either the 356 or 444 case.

Why would you buy a new bolt gun for $1000 when you can buy a used one for $600?
the only new gun in the $1000 price range that even remotely tempts me is the ruger #1.
show of hands, who would buy a new model 94 in the same configuration as it was being sold a couple of years ago? especially considering you could have but didn't buy it then.
