I bought it at a gun show from a kid walking around.

It's a Model 94, made in 1966. .30-30 20" bbl, so nothing special.

I really didn't want it or need it, but I got a pretty good price on it, so I figured what the heck.
What do you think?

Is that ever a reason not to buy a gun???.

Nice rifle. The first centerfire I shot when I was a kid was a model 94 in 30/30. What did you pay for it?

I haven't got to take it out to the range yet, but I'm hoping to do that sometime this week.
I gave $250 for it.

Definitely worth that.

You can get rid of it for that later if you don't like it.

.30-30 ammo is still relatively cheap.

Very nice! Wouldn't have batted an eyelash at paying $250 for that.

Had that same rifle for 27 years or so. Killed a passel of deer and hogs with it. It is one of the few guns I own that have a permanent home and will be passed on to my children.

Great price and great gun, enjoy it.
