Answer 1

MODEL 94 STANDARD RIFLE
- .30-30 Win., .32 Win. Spl. (disc. 1973, reintroduced 1992), 7-30 Waters (new 1989), or .44 Mag. (mfg. circa late 1960s-1970s) cal., lever action, 6 or 7 (24 in. barrel only) shot tube mag., 20 or 24 (mfg. 1987-88 only) in. round barrel, open sights, straight walnut stock, barrel band on forearm. Angled ejection became standard 1982, 6 1/2 lbs. Mfg. 1964-1997.
Grading .100% ....98% ....95% ....90% ....80% ....70% ....60%
.................N/A .....$350 ....$295 ...$250 ..$200 ...$175 ...$150

95%-100% asking prices on many models may be higher than listed, and there are reports of consumers paying over 50% above retail values for some of the rarer variations, including calibers. Yours is not rare though. Remember, most of these recently discontinued Model 94s are not rare, and the only way they can keep going up in value is if there is a continued long-term increase in demand. I would guess if it's in the condition you say, somebody may be willing to pay $350 - 400.

Answer 2

Highly variable based on condition, and grading firearms accurately isn't easy for a novice. Photographs also don't typically give a good result. An in-person inspection from someone knowledgeable in how grading is done is necessary. There is also what it is worth to someone buying it, what it is worth to you, and what it is worth to a store buying it from you. I'd say it could be worth anything from $100-$300. The most it would probably sell for, at retail, in respectable condition, is $350. As an individual selling it... You'd probably be lucky to get $250 from a individual, and would probably be more around the $150-$200 range at a store so they could make a profit at $300-$350. This is all just from memory... I leave my blue book at work. I can tell you though that you don't want to sell that. The 1894 Model is the classic cowboy repeater, especially in 30-30. They have stopped making them recently... So I would guess value will increase in the coming decades. Now, though, they're still just a plentiful lever action, most of which are abused hunting rifles.

Answer 3

You need to narrow down the model a little more. There are 17 different models of the "94 that were produced. The following is a Winchester link that wil help narrow down specifics, it will also give you the original list price and the last date it was made.

Answer 4

A friend of mine who keeps up with these things tells me that since Winchester closed its doors, even plain-Jane 1894 Winchester .30-30s have nearly doubled to about an asking price of about $400.

Pennsylvania is a bit far but good luck selling your rifle.

Best.
