In my opinion, there is shooting off the bench, and then there is real shooting. Shooting off the bench does not truly reflect accuracy, it is only a measure of consistency of gun, components, and shooter.
True accuracy happens in the real world. I do not find most 94's to be bench accurate to the point of bragging and pinning up targets on the garage wall. I do find that they are quick, nimble, and impressively accurate in the field. I have center hit a 2' x 3' square off hand at 70 yards with my 30+ year old 94 in 30 WCF. I'm not blowing my own horn, I'm saying that the rifle is capable of this kind of shooting. I have yet to have a Marlin that shoots this well.
Marlins are great guns, I'm glad that they, unlike so many Winchesters, are made right here in the USA, by American craftspeople. It sounds to me like you have an excellent example, I'd keep a hold of it, if I were you.
