If I was looking for a 30-30 for that price I would get it.

Don't ask, just buy.

Probably the muzzle to make sure someone didn't run a cleaning rod over it like a saw.
But I would buy it!

Per SN, date of manufacture was 1950.

Do you want a 30-30?
If not, skip it. |

Where were you? I'm gonna run over and get it.
 JUST KIDDING. I don't have any extra money, or time for road trips this week.

Any pre 64 will sell for $799 to $899 around here in not near as good a shape as that rifle.

It is a gun I might see regularly in the woods. But the last one I saw in the hands of a hunter was in .32 Winchester.
I don't have the money for one. I was just joking. I was curious as to what shop you were at though....... |

Think I'm gonna pass on the purchase. I dont need another safe queen and due to its age, I wouldn't want to take it outdoors and put it to hard use.
I already have much better investments and you only make money if you sell it at a profit, which I wouldn't plan on doing anyway. So owning this would only give me bragging rights when I have freinds stop over for a beer :) Two of my friends already have one too, LOL. Gonna focus on getting a 45-70 in stainless next, probaby the new Marlin guide gun, as I can use that for Whitetails hunting here in Iowa (can't use a 30-30 in Iowa for deer). I figure custom handloads for the 45-70 will also be a lot of fun. |

I picked these two up in the last few months for $600 and $481 out the door. I've noted a slump in the market lately and I think that's saying some not so nice things about the local economy.
The top one is a 1950 vintage .30-30 and the bottom one is a 1960 vintage .30-30. Both are in very good condition overall, although the bottom one has a set of (very professionally installed) sling swivels. 
I don't know that $650 is a bad price for one in that condition, as it'll continue to appreciate so it's a matter of buying too early, rather than paying too much. |

BTW, for anyone interested in checking it out yourself or calling them:
Bader's Sport Center Phillips, Wisconsin And the tag price was $625, not $650. I went again there today and took another look. There is a little pitting and tiny amounts of rust inside the receiver on the bolt carrier and other internal components. |

Too much. I paid $450 for mine last year. Mine was in much better condition, almost like new. The old man had two of them.

Quoted:
Traveling in Northern Wisconsin this week, eating cheese curds and drinking some Leinies'. Stopped upon a local shop whereupon I ran across a nice Pre-64 Winchester 30-30. $650 tag price. I might work them down a little if I apply some grease? No rust, steel is worn, wood is nice. Feels solid and action is smooth as butter. 1950s vintage they say. Serial # in the 1,77xxxxx. Will try to post some pics. Anything I should inspect for? Decent deal? Looking for some more input from our experts. I also did a little Web research: https://tincanbandit.blogspot.com/2014/02/winchester-model-94-rifles.html?m=1 https://gundigest.com/more/classic-guns/winchester-94-receivers Thanks in advance. Thanks for posting that. I have one that is an angle eject and I didn't know they went back to forged receivers. I contemplated selling it a few days ago. This changes my mind.
