Tried posting a question down in the lever action section with no luck.(Guess people do not want to deal with a guy who is dumb enough to post a Winchester question in the Marlin 336 forum.LOL).
Any ways since the currency is Canadian I will ask here. I came across a mint M94 big bore in 375 for $630. Does this seem about right. The thing looks brand new and I always wanted a 375 win.
If its in excellent condition (no major marks or flaws), then I think its a very reasonable price. Most here in that kind of condition are closer to $700-$800.
Thanks for the reply. Sounded like a good deal to me too.Now all I have to do is pull the trigger(so to speak)on the deal.
I'm rooting for you. The 375 Win is my next levergun purchase. The only thing holding me back is a trip to Africa in July.
I wish a trip to Africa was holding me back from buying this gun.What is holding me back is being broke.LOL. You know the story wife,3kids etc.
The 375 would be a heck of a gun. I am broke two unfortunately and I only have two kids!
From google: 1 Canadian dollar = 0.99108 U.S. dollars
I didn't realize the exchange rate was that close. Anyhow, that seems like an OK deal for a "mint" Win 94 in 375. Especially if it doesn't have that gay crossbolt safety. If I had the funds I would seriously think about picking that one up.
I just sold my 94 in .356 for $650, it was in excellent but not mint condition. Your .375 at C$630 seems like a good price to me too.
$630? Well, the price is directly affected by supply & demand. I picked my near mint XTR Bigbore 94 in .375Win for $550 shipped a couple years ago. It came with sling swivels (front is mag tube band) and even had a side scope mount & el cheapo Bushnel 2.5x Banner with post/cross hair reticle. Took the scope off and put a 1" leather adjustable sling on. Very handy little carbine and goes great with the XTR 9422Mag I lucked out on, again in near pristine shape. I say if you want it get it as they are getting harder and harder to locate especially ones in close to new condition.
You'll love the 375 for heavy cover work. I've been shooting one since around 1980. Mines a Savage 99 and it loved the Winchester 250gr ammo but is still working very good with Hornady 220s. I have it set up with a Weaver K-1.5.

A buddy's father had a BB94 .375Win and shot a few eating size bulls & cow moose with his. He used factory ammo but I don't recall what was available back then.
