[QUOTE="tinfinger, post: 837595, member: 4386"] Before Winchester closed their New Haven factory (thus ending 94 production), a used Ranger in excellent condition would have ball-parked around $200. After the factory closed, values spiked sharply...however, when Obama was elected there was wide-spread panic buying of "assault" type items. "Normal" used hunting rifles, including 94's went begging again. The panic buying has taken alot of discretionary spending out of the gun market and I would think values remain soft. Nonetheless, 94's are out of production so that used excellent Ranger may still command more than $200. A post '64 economy model with a cross-bolt safety is NOT a collectible. Value it as the good hunting rifle that it is. Winchester was already owned by the same corporation that owns FN and Browning. Winchester 70's are being made again, although they are made at the FN plant in South Carolina. As far as I know, there are no plans to make the 94 again. Rumors were that the tooling was not saved. If they did make it again, it would probably be a fairly expensive proposition. [/QUOTE]
