Hi gang-

I'm not a Winchester collector, but figured this would be the place to ask. I've inherited this gun, and just wonder more about it. I most likely will sell it as I'm not one to have a scope-less rifle, but don't know where to start. Thanks for any input you may have. Serial is 2003385 with a metal buttplate and sight hood intact. Two noticeable flaws, one above lever on right side, the other a small chip in finish on right buttstock as noted in photos. Bore clean and shiny...I believe this gun spent most of its life in a closet.

It's a 1954 gun, worth 500-600 based on local demand.

Beautiful rifle. Looks just like my elk hunting partners '49 30-30, but a lot nicer. I'd say it's worth $650+ around here.

Awesome rifle. I'd be PM'ing you if I had room for it. Thanks for the pics.

My first deer rifle was a Model 94 30-30 with the awful cross bolt safety. I love it for the memories but I've always wanted a pre-64.

Wow, you inherited a beauty! Since it didn't cost you anything, and someone thought enough of you to leave it to you, why not keep it? You won't know what you're missing if you can't look past it not being scoped.

It is a beauty. My first deer rifle was basically the same thing. It has taken many critters over the years(since 1978). Still have it. Going to go to one of my sons at some point.

In fact, just picked up another one. Neat rifles.

Keep it..... cool

That is a gooder. Sold one not quite as nice for 580. Four years ago.
