In the mid to late 70's there was a small store chain around here that sold Win 94's for 75.00 every fall. Looking at the serial number ranges in 71 and 72 the number produced was over 200k each year while all other years 100k or less were produced. This chain must of bought a slew of them when Winchester was giving away the surplus. Wonder what was going on there those two years to deviate so far from the production norm for that model.
This angle-eject Winchester is my favorite 30-30 for hunting within the forests and foothills. My typical shooting distance after a long stalk in rough country works out to about 150 yards or so. They can keep their long range magnum rifles; the excitement of the stalk is the highlight of my hunt! My friends say that I'm crazy to drive all the way "out west" with my Winchester. Instead, I'm supposed to buy a new 270. But for me, 30-30 is a keeper!
