I appreciate them all I was just going off of my experience with new marlin. I love an old marlin 336. Haven't ever had experience with the Henry stuff but I have no doubt they are well made firearms
That’s a great gun right there, you should appreciate what you have. They’re not going to make them anymore here in the US. The beauty of it is in its simplicity and sleekness. I love mine
Easy to adjist windage if the rifle happens to shoot to the left or right by tapping the rear sight with a dowel and hammer . Mark where the point of the rear sight is using masking tape and pen before adjusting. Only takes a hair to make a difference. Have the rifle wrapped in a thick towel to protect the wood stock and metal if using a table or bench. May require several attempts before finding the zero but worth it.
Don't take it apart to clean. Unless you can buy a new one. Their is a big difference between a pre 64 and modern quality fit and finish and shooting . But all Winchester leavers I own never have broken. The Henry,Marlins or copies have Ben sent back to the manufacturer at least once under 20 rounds. I have Early 1900's Winchester's I shoot almost once a month for the past 30 years no problems but they do wear out with heavy use or exposure to the elements. Watch for rust.
I inherited a pre 94 wcf 30 aka 30 30 from my Dad when he passed!! I have had several offers on it BUT i just can't never sell it, I'll be handing it down through the family. It's dated manufactured in 1948.
Actually the original lever action was designed by Henry! and the safety is in the lug under the lever, I have owned my model 94 longer than you have been alive! The magazine is in the tube!
You are going to pay $1000 to $2500 for a new Winchester made in Japan or copies of Winchester's. Browning did not invent the level action. But the locking block togel system on that 94 he did. And that 94 is taped for a top scope. The empties will clear. Glad you are excited about that beautiful gun. I would take any Winchester lever over a Henry, Marlin, copies. Or AR
Just bought one today new in box and never been shot for $200. I think I got a good deal, but I can't find much information on the Ranger 94. Mine has a gold trigger and serial starts with 625, I can't find any information for this serial number either. I'm excited to try it out this weekend.
I have 5 ,30 30s 4 Winchesters 1 canadian centennial, 1 golden spike 1 pre 64 and 1 I believe is from the 80s my 5 one is a Marlin. I love the Marlin over the Winchester. And love my Winchester 32 special. Your safety is the lever if not pulled all the way to the stock it will not fire
Nice rifle! I also got my first 94 about a year ago. I paid $650, so you did pretty good. Yours is a pre safety, angled eject model. I believe that makes it very early 1980's production. Mine is top eject with no safety and it's made in 1980. You can look up the year it was made by the serial number. That's a good trade for an AR. Post the serial number, I lll look up when it's made for you. Or even just the first three digits of the serial. Its on the bottom of the reciever in front of the lever link.
I love mine too. You know it's a good design when they made it for over a hundred years! I saw one like yours, a ranger, and someone had it hard chromed and finished the stock in a blond color. It looked awesome
@Aaron Hachenberg ah man I bet so mine has definitely been used its not mint or anything but I had to grab it up for sure. Hard to find a 30 30 in my area
What sight do u go on to see what year it was made mine was made in USA but i think after 1980 brought it with 3 shots fired in it now it's my close range pig a fox gun goats don't like it either
I’ve see two pre 64 model 94 for $1000.00 in the last year that were at least 95 percent, really nice. That is cheaper than a new Japanese one. For the money now the pre 64 are a better deal and can be found if you look. Hell I don’t even see new winchesters in gun stores anymore.
@@JeffWeaver87 yeah six hundred is what they go for now. A rust bucket model 94 is 400.00 now. When I was a young guy those could be had in Georgia for 150.00 all day in pawn shops not any more.
I have a ranger winchester 3030 works fine but I had to file the rear sight v groove down to sight in the open sights. No biggie but it was that way from the factory.
There is one for sale right now near me 650 im considering it for a new deer hunting rifle. I come from 30/06. Never owned a lever action. The one I am looking at is from thr 80's
Winchester started making there guns overseas in 2006 and there not the same had one sold it. Older ones are better. I got a henry lever action in 360 buck hammer which is a 30-30 case necked up to 35 caliber is essentially a rebuilt 35 Remington
Awesome dude! Yeah I would always get marlin over winchester but when I got this one it was the only 30-30 I've seen for sale in a long long time so I grabbed it
@@JeffWeaver87 Yeah I’m the same here I prefer marlin over Winchester as well that why I like the Henry’s there kinda like a marlin. A Marlin 1894 in 357 mag was actually my first hunting rifle I still have it I have maybe I think 10 marlins all JM stamped models so there the oldies before the Remington bs
@@JeffWeaver87 Yeah Remington has been sold so many times there quilty is not so good but Ruger Bought marlin now and I just got one of there new 336 and Ruger is definitely doing it 10x better the craftsmanship and they are smooth and shoot and feel like my old marlin! I’m glad Ruger bought them but then Ruger makes some of the nicest rifles especially there Hawkeye series they are gorgeous rifles and shoot amazing!
The gun you have is an early 1980's production "able eject" model thar because of the angle eject modification to the earlier model 94 design, acomidates the mounting of a scope sight directly over the receiver and bore. Those screw fillers you see on the top of the receiver are there to accept the scope base mounts. You need t learn more about your carbine since there is a lot of erroneous information in your video.
That is a model 94 . The difference in the ranger and the more expensive model 94 is the type of wood used. It's birch or hardwood on the ranger and walnut on the more expensive model 94. Fit and finish is not as good with the ranger.
@@JeffWeaver87 that's not a good comparison. Marlin is a side ejection, this one shoots the shells in your face 😂 plus no room for a scope on this gun.
@juarezderrick9647 this gun looks like is ejects to the top-side. Miroku model 94s will let you bolt a scope to the top. Japanese Miroku models are excellent. Miroku makes fantastic guns.
How can someone not appreciate the lever action 3030,,, the 94s, the marlins,, the henry’s,,,,, they all beautiful
I appreciate them all I was just going off of my experience with new marlin. I love an old marlin 336. Haven't ever had experience with the Henry stuff but I have no doubt they are well made firearms
Exactly

I have 5 Winchester model 94 30 30 and love them
This one has been fantastic

The most iconic American rifle ever produced.

It's a nice rifle 30 30 nice round
You got the angle eject version. You can put a scope on that Winchester.

Thanks for your insight man!
Nice a gun 👍👍👍👍

I have one the same made in USA im in Australia and its one of my favorite guns to use foxes and pigs dont like it it knocks the shit out of them

No you didn’t

I have both...I much prefer the Winchester.

Oh yeah I knew it probably was cheaper but I had to get it because it was the only one that I've seen in my area. Since 2015
@@JeffWeaver87 yeah six hundred is what they go for now. A rust bucket model 94 is 400.00 now. When I was a young guy those could be had in Georgia for 150.00 all day in pawn shops not any more.
Nope I only paid 600 because I wanted it bad enough and it would be the only chance I had to get one
@@JeffWeaver87 Rossi model 92 are over six bills now. You will find more in that condition over 600.00 than under 600.00
I'll be keeping this one forever not letting it go
Be proud if your rifle my man that right there is a generation rifle you it will out last you good sir
Oh man I love that rifle won't ever part with it
@@JeffWeaver87 I have one from my old man and will pass it down to my own daughter when I’m old and gone take care of it and shoot straight
I have a ranger winchester 3030 works fine but I had to file the rear sight v groove down to sight in the open sights. No biggie but it was that way from the factory.
Mine needs that too just haven't had time to mess with it
@@JeffWeaver87 use a triangle file right in the groove it's not a big deal.
Gotcha I appreciate it man!
I have one of these.
Never been shot.
Gonna be my grandkids someday.
Awesome dude!
Correct
Same as the sks and AK rounds
AK an SKS shoot 7.62 x 39 SMH
There is one for sale right now near me 650 im considering it for a new deer hunting rifle. I come from 30/06. Never owned a lever action. The one I am looking at is from thr 80's
Grab it up!
Winchester started making there guns overseas in 2006 and there not the same had one sold it. Older ones are better. I got a henry lever action in 360 buck hammer which is a 30-30 case necked up to 35 caliber is essentially a rebuilt 35 Remington

I am considering 360 buck hammer for my teenage daughter. Considering it for light recoil. Would you use it for elk under 200 yards?

After 64!

Thanks for the info dude! I don't mind it it's a nice gun
@@JeffWeaver87 it is a nice gun , I bought one today.
As long as it can do the job, know what I mean.
It definitely does I really enjoy this rifle haven't had a single problem with it
The safety is under the Lever, it's that little silver button behind the trigger.
Gotcha I'm not to familiar with the winchester stuff it's my first one. It shoots great though
@@JeffWeaver87 I'm not either, Just got mine yesterday, it's fucking sick! Can't wait to take mine out to shoot.
Do you know how to find the year of manufacture?
@@JeffWeaver87 Nope, it seems Winchester didn't keep records for the Ranger series. I'm still trying to find info. I'm assuming somewhere in the 70s?
That's what I was thinking too really awesome rifle nonetheless
Everybody and their mother has an AR but not every mother....has a model 94 winchester rifle. Smart move on your part.
I'll take this over an AR any day of the week
It a $1000.00 + - gun used as is.
Awesome man I appreciate the info on it and the correction about browning! I don't ever intend to disassemble it for cleaning or anything
Is it the model 94 or are the rangers like a different series?
@@JeffWeaver87 It's the real deal. Introduced 1985.
Awesome dude appreciate it!!
Where you drunk ?
Hahaha nope
Should be able to just put in the serial number find out what year stock end looks 80s but should be easy to date
Appreciate it dude
Marlin is way better.
To each their own dude I can respect that. Same as I say mossberg is better than Remington lol
@@JeffWeaver87 that's not a good comparison. Marlin is a side ejection, this one shoots the shells in your face 😂 plus no room for a scope on this gun.
In my experience there's better workmanship with this rifle over the marlins that I've owned. Who needs a scope? Learn to use your iron sights
@@juarezderrick9647 the shells come out of the side of his model of 94 the same as a marlin. You don’t have to be a dick.
@juarezderrick9647 this gun looks like is ejects to the top-side. Miroku model 94s will let you bolt a scope to the top.
Japanese Miroku models are excellent. Miroku makes fantastic guns.
Winchester 30-30s are junk. Had one. Shot in20° an watch the firing pin brake.
My grandfather got one for free at a raffle at work and gave it to my uncle because he said they were trash. I don't know the model or anyting though.
I guess it wasn't free because the raffle was $5.
Had mine since 1974, never had any problems out of it....
You just blew your credibility with that "junk" statement...what a joke!
