Just purchased my first 94. Have a Marlin 336, and found the 94 in a pawn shop.
1975 Model, clean as a whistle, no big dings, no rust, no worn blueing of any consequence and a great looking bore.
Have been shooting it, and really, really am enjoying the gun.... Now I see why people say the 94 is so easy to handle. It really is easy to point and keep on target.
Added a williams peep and red firesight front bead.... Now my old eyes are happy.
Am planning on taking it out on my 2020 deer hunt and living a little history.
I'm a happy camper and doing alot of reloads with it and it is easy to dial in minute-of-deer with every bullet I've tried so far.
