Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Pre-64 Model 94 Carbine in .30-30 WCF that was made in 1960. The .30-30 is perhaps the most popular deer cartridge in America, and the 94 chambered for this classic round is nearly synonymous with “deer rifle”. This rifle is in about Fine-Plus condition with 96% of its metal finish remaining, a good bore and strong mechanics. This rifle could be back out in the field dropping deer for another lifetime.
