How much should a Winchester Model 1894 7-30 Waters cost?
I have found a Winchester Model 1894 for sale in the calibre of 7-30 Waters. It does not have a cross bolt safety, and appears to be in great condition. The blueing on the 24 inch barrel is great, no scratches or anything. I kinda think that it has never been fired before, and if it has, it has been to the very minimal. It also has a Weaver 4x scope mounted on Weaver mid-mounts. Rifle is in beautiful condition. I was just wondering how much it would be worth so I would know if it was priced right.
Winchester did make the Model 94 in 7-30 Waters:
Model 94 - This is the post 1964 lever action carbine chambered for the 30-30, 7-30 Waters, and the .44 Magnum cartridges. It is offered with a 20" or 24" barrel and has a 6 or 7 round tubular magazine, depending on barrel length. The round barrel is offered with open sights. The forearm is held on by a single barrel band. The finish is blued, with a straight grip walnut stock. In 1982 it was modified to angle ejection to simplify scope mounting. It was introduced as a continuation of the Model 94 line in 1964. In 2003 a top-tang safety was installed and the .480 Ruger caliber was added. Depending on condition:
NIB -$450
Exc. -$325
V.G. -$225
Good -$150
Fair -$100
Poor -$75
Keep in mind that since these 94's are no longer made, prices in some markets and calibers has skyrocketed. My book, (and I believe the most recent Blue Book) are not current enough to reflect the demand. I think right now, that rifle is worth whatever the market will bear.
Also,,, The previous answer about not putting pointed ammo into a tubular magazine cannot be overstated. Federal makes a Sierra Game King 120 gr. Boattail Soft Point with a flat nose. I believe this would be suitable. That is the only ammo. I found listed in either the Shooter's Bible, or at CheaperthanDirt.com. Hope some of this helps.
