I currently have two 94's and a 336. I too like the 94 better for it's sleek good looks, light weight and slim, sweet carryability. I killed alot of deer and assorted varmints with my 94's, especially when I was younger and my eyes were sharper. That said, it's darn hard not to love my 336 too and I truly do. No, It's not as light and sleek as the 94 but it still carries nice, wears a scope well and is more accurate than any of the half dozen 94's I've owned. In fact, it's as accurate as most of my bolt actions and more accurate than some. Both are great deer rifles and carry better in the hand than any fat bolt action ever will.
