My son has had a Ruger 77 Hawkeye 30-06 with a Leupold FX-II 4X on top for a couple years. I seem to keep borrowing it for hunting and have grown partial to it. It's quite the shooter and I killed one of my deer with it this year. Anyway he's developed quite a fascination with Winchester model 94's and keeps coming home with them. Yesterday he came home with a 1970 manufacture in 44 mag. Pretty rare gun. So I said to him you want another? He asked what do I mean? I said you can have my model 94 flat band 30-30 if you want. He asked me what I want in return and I said the Ruger 30-06 will do. He said done deal.  I'm done wanting to hunt with open sights anyway. He's already talking about his next model 94 purchase. LOL.

94s are tough to let go of... I've got a 25-35 that will be my kids' first learning rifle in a few years. Little do they know I want it back when they're bigger!

I'm just not seeing open sights as well as I once did and I'm content to part ways with the Winchester 94 at this stage of my life.

Sounds like it was a win-win trade. Good deal.

That trade benefits both of you. And if he needed a scoped rifle I’m sure he could talk you into a loaner..... I love trading with my kids, except in some cases I believe I created a monster.
