I saw one at Clarks custom guns in Princeton LA the other day but they wanted either $600 or $699 for it.

Good price Crazy Horse , depending on the year and condition. O p wants a shooters grade so this would probably work for him! The one I have I talked to the Opie about I would consider it a very high-end Shooters grade being built in 1952 with little use as I told the Opie it is in my collection and Have not really thought much about selling it. GD1656 good luck!

The one at Clarks was not pre 64 and it was a shooter grade.

I'm not giving up my 1971 from a cpl days ago that was my Bday present for my self , but I'll offer a few observations s :
Since the Big Bankruptcy , Winchester Lever prices have been volitile , and all over the map . For a cpl years I've been back burner looking for a decent Shooter grade M94 for a project , so I've been keeping a casual eye at LGSs and shows .
The value sweet spot is post '64 , pre Angle eject , in basic 20 inch .30-30 .
A cpl weeks before came upon an upper end Shooter from that period . Been used and hunted moderately . still had most of finish , for $450 . Actually thought about it , and remembered it , but didn't fit my cash flow that week.
What I did get was 1971 . No abuse_ abuse , but more than half of finish gone from reciever from one hand carry while hunting . But good bore , nice trigger pull , smooth action , and aftermarket sling studs . For $300 .
It was a new management LGS and indoor range , that was 98% tacti- cool and Tupperware , except for three consignment guns . Probably literally not knowing any better , the late model Marlin .44 was stupid high , and the Winchester was under market value .

Tl Dr - The days of $200 shooter grade .M94 are gone . $500 is what $250 was before .
