They had a Marlin also. It was about the same price. Both were under 300.00. What is the difference in the different 94 Models? Is it just the wood or is the reciever different also. The Marlin had some pretty cheap looking wood on iy. The 94 had a bit better lookink stock. I know the Marlin used to make a cheaper model and then the 336. I didn't have the guy take them out for me for a closer look but I will next time I go over there. I have always prefered the Marlin for function and accuracy. I need to get a 30-30 barrel for one of my NEF rifles. I have no earthly idea of why I need a 30-30 again but it will come to me. I quess mostly because I have almost always had one. A couple years ago I traded two 94's in on another rifle (that I probably don't have anymore) One was a 32 Special the other a 30-30.
