Farewell to the Model 94....

The USRAC reps at the SCI show are not so optimistic, according to some of my friends that are there. They seem to think the grave has been dug and the casket is being lowered.

Dated or not, the Model 70 action is still the basis of some very fine high end custom rifles (David Miller, D'Arcy Echols, and others). The Model 70 and the Mauser (and their respective clones) actions are also very popular as a basis for DGR's.
 
I am curious if anyone is already seeing prices going up in the local gun show circuit on new and used Winchester leverguns?

Odd comment in a thread discussing a product that was made and sold for 112 years, which is based on a product 20 years previous to that.

Perhaps you meant, "You can't keep making the same product for a hundred and fifteen years."

I thought with all the Cowboy shooting events that the lever action rifle and the single action pistol would be safe for a long time to come. Guess I was wrong...

Oh well, times change. I would like to get one, just for nostalgia if nothing else.
 
I am bummed because I wanted a couple of the NEW take-down models that were introduced this year in the catalogue. I wanted a couple trapper models. They would make GREAT truck or car guns for travel. Compact and legal about anywhere. Great for hotel and camping use. Hopefully someone picks them up!
 
i'm sure the '94 in all its forms will be available at gun shows/etc for a long, long time. they are neat old rifles, irregardless of when they were designed or how long ago if ya are looking for a short bbl open site lever action saddle rifle thats lite and easy to carry and shoot the '94 is hard to beat.

a bud collects them in the odd calibres (ie .30-40 krag, .25-35, etc) and commemoratives, he has been buying about 3-5 a yr for a while now, still lots of varieties around to look for though.
