30/30?
Being a post 64 in that condition, and demand today, I’d say 600 or so. JMO

If you can take the time without losing it do a bit of your own research on this. A lot of post '64 opinions are parrots talking.

The 64 -68's sintered, graphitic steel receivers that wouldn't take conventional bluing, stamped sheet metal lifters and cheap stained birch furniture were not simply "parroted" deficiencies.

The late 90s/early 2000s was a pretty dark era for the 94, too. I had a couple of that vintage; one was passably mediocre and the other one was complete garbage that got sent back to Winchester multiple times.

OK, good, some specifics. My post 64, maybe 70's, has the graphitic iron cast severely freckled receiver but no stamped carrier, she sits in walnut, is stampeded Winchester and bangs 12 by12 steel at 300 yards every time from field positions. But folks who just say anything post 64 is junk mislead buyers who haven't studied up. You guys ain't those guys. ,

I had one from the late 70s that was pretty good. Not the prettiest girl at the dance in comparison to the finish on an older one, but it was pretty smooth, had a decent trigger, and was an accurate shooter with 170 grainers.

$500 is my guess. $600 tops.

Because you got it at a sensible price for the times, and it's in your hands.

I haven't put my finger on it yet The 70's guns ain't bad. By then Winchester had corrected some of the glaring deficiencies of the early post 64's. I have a '49 and a '79 XTR. Truthfully, they both shoot about the same. The '79 actually cycles a little smoother than my '49, primarily because by then Winchester had switched to a coil mainspring {'77} instead of a flat spring, which made the hammer cock smoother/easier. One thing I really prefer about the pre 64's is the slight rounding/beveling of the bottom corners of the receiver. Makes it one hand carry a little nicer over a long day compared to the square, sharp corners of the post 64 receivers.

It does make carry more comfortable
