After spending 10 years searching and shopping for the perfect 30-30 with much the same train of thought as you, I suggest neither.

Too many JM model 336's for the same price if not cheaper than a junk assed remlin. Same with Winchesters. You can get a nice used 94's without the Hillary holes (safety's) the new ones have.

I personally love 94's and have mine set up with a Williams Peep. Awesome shooter. I paid $500 for it. It is a very clean deep blued 1980's model 94.
